GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – For the second time this season, North Carolina senior forward Erin Matson has been recognized as the Atlantic Coast Conference Field Hockey Offensive Player of the Week. The honor follows a weekend in which she scored three goals and added two assists as the Tar Heels (6-3) beat a pair of top-15 opponents.
Â
Louisville junior back Julie Kouijzer was named ACC Defensive Player of the Week, also for the second time.
Â
On Friday in the Tar Heels' ACC opener, Matson assisted on the second goal of the game and then scored the fifth in the Tar Heels' 6-1 win over No. 5 Boston College. On Sunday against No. 15 UConn, she scored the first two and assisted on the third goal in Carolina's 3-1 win.
Â
After two weekends at home, fifth-ranked UNC hits the road again to play games at No. 11 Syracuse on Friday and at Albany on Sunday.
UNC's next home game is on Oct. 8 vs. Duke.
