CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — The No. 5 ranked Boston College field hockey team travels to three-time defending national champion North Carolina on Friday night. Game time is set for 4 p.m. and the game can be seen live on regional sports networks around the country.

The Eagles and No. 7 Tar Heels face off for the 23rd time in the history of the two programs. UNC has captured the last five meetings, most notably during the 2019 ACC Championship game and 2019 NCAA national semifinal match.

This past weekend, BC posted a 1-1 record - falling to Syracuse in the ACC opener on Friday night before traveling to New Hampshire and posting a thrilling overtime victory. Through eight games, BC is 7-1 overall - tying for the program's best start.

North Carolina has registered a 4-3 record this season and is entering Friday's match having won its last two. This is the ACC opener for UNC, who is 1-0 at home this season.
