All-time record
Field hockey has been played at North Carolina since the 1940s, but only became a varsity sport in 1971 when the school were a charter member of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW). The team won several state AIAW championships and finished second twice in the AIAW Southern Region II tournament before joining the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for the 1982 season.[1]
