VOLUME 126, ISSUE 59 125 YEARS OF SERVING UNC STUDENTS AND THE UNIVERSITY MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2018 BACK-TO-BACK Field hockey clinches second consecutive ACC Championship victory in 7-2 win on Sunday. On Sunday afternoon, the No. 1 North Carolina field hockey team did not just win its second consecutive ACC Championship, it also broke a curse. UNC defeated No. 20 Wake Forest, 7-2, in the ACC Championship game. With that win, the Tar Heels became the first No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament to win the cham- pionship since the format expanded in 2014. The Tar Heel offense got off to a quick start. In the second minute, first-year Erin Matson scored off a penalty corner and shot the ball behind her back. Matson’s goal even surprised some of her teammates. “Oh my gosh, I literally ran up to her and I was like, ‘What was that?’” senior Ashley Hoffman said. “It was not our game plan, it was completely improvised, and I think that is why she is such a great player. She can do something completely different and make it work.” Three minutes after Matson gave her team a 1-0 lead, senior Eva van’t Hoog joined in on the scoring and doubled her team’s lead. Wake Forest did not respond until the 13th minute. After being awarded a penalty corner, the Demon Deacons were unable to shoot the ball into the net. On that play, they were fouled again in the circle and were awarded another penalty corner. On a second straight penalty corner, Wake Forest’s Jule Grashoff shot the ball past the goal keeper and cut the UNC lead to 2-1. Once the Tar Heels sensed their lead was diminishing, they bounced back with two more goals to push the lead to 4-1. To close out the first half, Grashoff scored her second goal SEE FIELD HOCKEY, PAGE 11 DTH/SARAH REDMOND HOMECOMING BLUES SEE PAGE 9 QUEST FOR REVENGE SEE PAGE 9 DTH/LEXI BAIRD DTH/JACK DAVIDSON WEEKEND SPORTS SCORES FIELD HOCKEY ACC SEMIFINAL UNC 5, Virgina 1 PERFECT NO MORE WOMEN’S SOCCER ACC SEMIFINAL SEE PAGE 6 F UNC 1, Clemson 0 R VOLLEYBALL I Duke 3, UNC 0 MEN’S BASKETBALL EXHIBITION UNC 107, Mount Olive 64 S FOOTBALL A Georgia Tech 38, UNC 28 T VOLLEYBALL UNC 3, Wake Forest 0 WOMEN’S SOCCER ACC CHAMPIONSHIP S FSU 3, UNC 2 U FEILD HOCKEY ACC CHAMPIONSHIP N UNC 7, Wake Forest 2 MEN’S SOCCER QUARTER FINALS UNC 3, Virgina Tech 0 DTH/JORDYN CONNELL God forbid something happens, least this song is a smash.
