It's championship weekend for collegiate field hockey, as four teams remain in the hunt for the NCAA title.
No. 1 North Carolina returns to the semifinals led by alum Erin Matson, who is in search of her second consecutive title in just her second season at the helm. The Tar Heels will face fourth-seeded Saint Joseph's, which defeated Princeton 1-0 to advance to the semis.
On the other side of the bracket is No. 2 Northwestern, also eyeing a third consecutive championship appearance. After dropping the title game to UNC last year, Tracy Fuchs' squad is eager to get back on top of the national standings. The Wildcats will face unseeded UMass, which took down No. 3 UConn in the first round before edging Harvard 1-0 to reach the semis.
