The top two field hockey programs in the country will battle it out this week as No. 1 UNC travels to No. 2 Virginia.
Nine games into their schedule, UVA remains undefeated. The Cavaliers have taken down programs like Syracuse, Duke and Boston College already and will be riding high into their matchup against UNC — especially after taking down their rival Duke just last week.
Meanwhile, North Carolina is working its way back up the mountaintop after missing out on the championship match last season. The Tar Heels have only dropped one loss so far, to No. 5 Wake Forest, but have tallied wins over Michigan, Princeton and Liberty.
