The ACC announced Tuesday that UNC junior forward Erin Matson was named the league’s Field Hockey Offensive Player of the Week.
Matson tallied all three of the Tar Heels’ goals in their 3-2 overtime win at No. 12 Virginia last Friday, with the game-winner coming just 58 seconds into the extra period.
Through just 58 career games at UNC, Matson’s 190 career points move her into third place on the program’s all-time list.
The Tar Heels are the two-time defending national champions and have gone 14-1 this season. Matson leads the team with 21 goals and eight assists, which gives her 50 points for the year.
UNC will wrap up the regular season on Sunday with a road game at Syracuse.
Oh, just a hat trick and OT gamewinner for @erinmatsonn this week …
