Box Score

BOONE, N.C. – North Carolina field hockey got big performances from its top playmakers in a dominant, 5-0 victory over Appalachian State on Sunday afternoon.

The Tar Heels (10-0, 4-0 ACC) got a hat trick for the second straight week from sophomore forward Charly Bruder, a trio of assists from Pleun Lammers and more goals from Ryleigh Heck and Molly Catchpole in their penultimate road contest of the season.

The reigning Atlantic Coast Conference Offensive Player of the Week thanks to four goals and two assist in the team's California road trip last weekend, Bruder will have a good argument to claim the award once again after three goals on Sunday. Her first two came from corners in the sixth and 46th minutes before she completed the hat trick in the 48th off an impressive assist from Heck.

Bruder and Heck continue to light up the score sheet for the Tar Heels. The dynamic duo have 20 goals and 14 assists combined on the season.

It was a career day for Netherlands native Lammers, who recorded career highs in assists and points with her hat trick of deliveries on Sunday. The tallies moved her into a tie with Sanne Hak for the third most points on the team this year.

The Tar Heels return home for four straight games in Karen Shelton Stadium over the next two weekends. The first of which will be a conference clash with Wake Forest on Friday, Oct. 18 at 6 p.m.
