Former Tar Heel field hockey star Lauren Moyer–who now plays for the U.S. National Team–is returning to Chapel Hill to join the UNC staff as a volunteer assistant for the 2020 season.
Moyer helped guide head coach Karen Shelton’s Tar Heels to four consecutive NCAA Final Four appearances from 2013-16, earning Third Team All-American honors as a senior.
“It’s always good to have someone who has gone through the program then gone to the national team come back and lend expertise and inspiration,” Shelton said. “Lauren is doing a great job and it’s just terrific to have her here.”
Following her career at UNC, Moyer joined the national team in 2017 and has made 77 appearances.
“It’s great to be back in Chapel Hill,” Moyer said. “I love it here and definitely missed it – it’s such a special place. I try to help the girls in any way I can, whether they need more reps before training, or they need help on attacking corners, or they have any type of press or outlet questions. I’m excited to see where they can go and how I can help in any way they need me to. I’m thrilled to be here.”
