    UNC Field Hockey 2026-2027

    We have talented recruits who are not ready yet for the highest level of field hockey. We need the sophomores, juniors, seniors, and graduate students to step up. The offense is not aggressive. Not getting corners is unacceptable. Midfield is not cohesive. Better passes, angles, and...

    There was talk of who to play off the bench. In the first several games, she was an afterthought and played fewer than 10 minutes in the first loss of the year. Introducing: Izzy Stratton The team's defense is far better with her on it and she's a headache in front of goal on set pieces...

    I can't stand how little we use our bench. We had 8 players play all 90. Why? Subs can be used and the players subbed out can return. Take advantage of college rules. This team is exhausted. Need to use substitutes.

    Skubisz over Shahbo and O'Donnell does not need to see the field again. Both of their goals in the run of play, they went right at her. And she's the one who fell down in the 1st game.

    Not a fan of the 3 6 1. It seems as if he's trying to win a creativity award or something. Go with a 4 4 2 or something along those lines (my favorite has always been the 4 1 2 1 2). Put Stratton on the backline. Put Stanislaus or Denigan up top. Play Thayer one half and Gundry the other...

    Official Player Return/Departure Thread

    Stanford transfer Chloe Clardy to Carolina. Think similar to Nivar. Not as talented, but she can steal. Her shooting is bad, though. PF Akot, SG Burrows, and SF Clardy. That fills a lot of holes temporarily. Don't have much PG depth, which can be a real issue. Aarnisalo and UCLA used us...

    Did not control possession seemingly at all. No real build up. We need to be better at passing and getting clearer shots near the top of the box. A recurring problem. Defense let too clear of shots come through. The first goal for them was a nice shot, difficult to save. The second one...

    Well, that sucked. They were more aggressive, in control, and appeared to be more talented. If not for the own goal, it would have looked far worse. We need to look at the formation. Faasse needs to play forward. Two forwards are better than one. With how dangerous Freifeld has looked...

    Played against one of the best teams in the country. Fewer defenders was not the best idea. Also, giving up seemingly a hundred corners did not help either.

    And, then there is the whole Wasserman thing where high school players are offered everything to sign with them and I wonder what they actually get. I haven't heard their compensation, but a ton of players who could have gone to UNC, Stanford, UCLA, FSU, Notre Dame, and Virginia sign with...

    Shores is always injured, allegedly did not get along with the new coach, and was offered a contract. Dahlien was in college for 3 years. Armstrong, like King, did not want to play in college and wanted to play professionally a la Mallory Pugh and Trinity Rodman. Huff (tennessee and fsu)...

    FSU does have an NIL program and recruits internationally, a lot. Add to that bringing in 2 all-americans from Tennessee in the last few years (Simmonds and Huff, both of whom he stole from his old job) and here you go. NWSL does not have a lot of money or pay it, so staying in college can be...

    This is why some of us were clamoring for depth. Bradley is out for the year. Munson is out for a while, hopefully not the year. Dellarose is going to be fully healed and ready to start soon. Now, who is coming off the bench? Is Mara starting or is Brown? Bretzer and Freifeld have to be...

    Ullmark is the playmaker. Defensively, looked far more settled and less scattered. This was a huge improvement over Georgia and Tennessee.

    For those lauding Liya's national team experience, her last two games with Jamaica: 11 goals allowed. 7 against England and 4 against a US team without many of their starters Try Gundry and Johann against Alabama. Don't need a third game against an SEC team to go the exact same way
