UNC Field Hockey 2026-2027

12th in RPI.

We would make it today if there were no bid stealers and if they go straight by RPI.

Stanford won’t do much for the RPI and Syracuse and Louisville are ranked lower than us in RPI.

Definitely need to make it to Friday and need to win to feel comfortable.

I’ve theorized you need to be 10th for any safety going into your tournament and 9th to really be safe

the Penn St upset of NW probably kept us out of 11th.

And it is hard to argue with Liberty in front of us; that loss is looming large.

the Stanford game is certainly a must win. No way we hold onto 13th by losing to 27th.

Ferri wins freshman of the year, and placed on second team all acc. Joined by Heck who is also second team. Charly earns first team honors.

That is good. If Heck would have be able to play the first 5 games, she would have been first team. Congratulations to all three for making the teams that they made. They made us proud as Tarheel fans.

Ferri is the future

 

[Jriv23]

Ferri is the future

Along with the players coming in next year. I totally agree with you about Ferri being legit and being one of future.

 

[3397char]

Must win game today! There is a very good chance it would be our last if we lose.

Are we really playing at 10:00 a.m. this morning? On a Tuesday? What did I miss?

Same stuff, different season

 

[PonsterM]

Same stuff, different season

Is this one of those games where they invited a bunch of local elementary school kids to go?

it’s the acc tourney. So they start early to get all the games in. Pretty standard stuff

Yeah, but so is the semifinals and the finals.

 

[uncjhodges]

Yeah, but so is the semifinals and the finals.

I see the semis are 1/330 and the final is at 3?
There are 4 games today, of course they’re starting earlier. As the 1 seed, we play first to maximize our rest. Hell, it’s a big advantage for us as the team we’re playing is on west coast time

 

[6string]

Get prepared for a morning of anti Carolina announcing.

 

[uncjhodges]

Seems like we were ready.
Bruder goal in 34 seconds

 

[TAHeel]

Time to avoid stepping on landmines, good start

Yes, but they could play both semifinals and the finals at night later this week. They are not. I am glad it is on TV, so if this is what it takes to get it on broadcast, then fine. But I would prefer the ACC network actually showcased all tournament final games.

 

[oldwell]

Reid’s not playing

 

[3397char]

ref ignored a high ball and a back tackle on consecutive plays.

 

[3397char]

We earned the first APC with 5.6 seconds left, but failed to get a clean shot off.

A lot of turnovers on missed passes in Q1

Heels up 1-0

 

[unc80]

Seem locked in, all business. Ryleigh's goal off the gorgeous entry hardly got a smile out of her.

 

[oldwell]

The card story with Imme is awesome.

 

[UNCH]

Ryleigh Heck 2nd team all-acc. Really?

 

[unc80]

Ryleigh taking no prisoners today. I'm in awe of her game on full display.

playing like a 2nd Team All-ACC player!

3-0 Heels on the Heck Rebound shot.

 

[3397char]

3-0 at half

Team Totals

TEAM	Shots	SOG	Saves	Fouls	Corners	OffSides
Stanford	3	2	5	0	1	0
UNC	12	8	2	0	3	0

Box score says Heck has only played 9 min total. Is that right? if so, that is 1 goal every 4.5 min.

 

[TommyAshley]

Much more crisp moving the ball today. Point of emphasis and it shows

 

[3397char]

pretty corner to get Ferri an open shot on the pass

4-0 Heels

 

[oldwell]

5-0, goal differential matters in RPI, right?

Run it up lol

 

[3397char]

Coco with some great dribbling to earn a deep angle shot, and puts it in with precision!

5-0 Heels

edit: the play

* but rest the starters

 

[3397char]

Q3 ends 5-0 Heels. Mendez had a goal negated for a back stick

 

[oldwell]

They had a referral and we benefited with the stroke

6-0 again

 

[Jriv23]

Are we really playing at 10:00 a.m. this morning? On a Tuesday? What did I miss?

Yep, we are playing at 10am.

 

[PonsterM]

I'm aware. My point is that 10 am on a Tuesday makes no sense, tournament or no.

And I don't see any clusters of elementary school students watching in the stands. Get your crap together Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools!

 

[Jriv23]

ref ignored a high ball and a back tackle on consecutive plays.

Here we go again.

 

[oldwell]

I guess they do them earlier because the TV crew’s are tied up with men’s and women’s bball now for the later time slots?

 

[oldwell]

6-0 win. Controlled the whole way.

Did their job.

 

[Jriv23]

Ryleigh Heck 2nd team all-acc. Really?

Ryleigh taking no prisoners today. I'm in awe of her game on full display.

Ryleigh had 11 goals coming into the the tournament. She now has 12 and Bruder now has 15. If Ryleigh and company would have be allowed to play the games that we lost, she would probably be leading or tied with Bruder for the most goals scored on our team.

It makes sense if you want them on tv. Jst like baseball tournament games start before noon in the SEC tournament, usually around 930 am local

They’re off school for election day so even your joke is bad
