North Carolina's 9-1 start is simply not surprising. Well, maybe it is for someone that seeks perfection and has accomplished such a feat with regularity. But opportunities for growth as a team, as a program occur daily, be it in practice or on the field during a draining double overtime loss to an ACC opponent. Erin Matson's 2025 UNC Field Hockey team is deep, talented and loaded with both youth and veterans and built for the long grind. With a rare opening in the season's schedule, she sat down with Inside Carolina's Tommy Ashley in The Purple Bowl to talk year three, success, that Wake loss and her continued vision for a dominant program. The Inside Carolina Podcast network features a wide range of current UNC

sports topics, from game previews and instant postgame analysis, to

recruiting breakdowns. IC’s stable of writers, insiders and analysts --

plus special guests -- comprise each program.
