The Michigan field hockey team's season came to an end on Sunday following a 5-1 loss to No.1 North Carolina in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament.

After losing to the Tar Heels earlier this season 5-0 and 4-3, the Wolverines were looking for revenge and an upset on Sunday.

It wasn't to be.

North Carolina outshot Michigan 16-5 and, the Wolverines trailed 3-0 at halftime after goals by junior midfielder Kelsey Kolojejchick, senior forward Elisabeth Stephens and junior forward Jaclyn Gaudioso-Radvany.

“Carolina played fantastically today,” said Michigan coach Marcia Pankratz.

The Tar Heels put the game out of reach in the 44th minute, after Kolojejchick scored her second goal of the game and sophomore midfielder Marta Malmberg scored to make the score 5-0.

“They had too much speed for us to be able to manage,” Pankratz said.

Freshman defender Aline Fobe scored the lone Michigan goal of the match with 57 seconds left to avoid the shutout.

Through the "ACC-Big Ten Challenge," Michigan and North Carolina had played twice previously this year. After suffering a 5-0 home thrashing by the Tar Heels to open the season, the two met again in North Carolina almost two months later. In the second meeting, the Wolverines fell in a double overtime heartbreaker 4-3.

The game on Sunday was another reminder of the offensive power that North Carolina has. In the three matchups this year, North Carolina outshot Michigan 56-22.

The Tar Heels (22-1) now advance to the NCAA Semifinals against Connecticut.

“I couldn’t be prouder of the entire group,” said North Carolina coach Karen Shelton. “Everybody got a chance to play, everybody played a part in this great victory today.”

The Wolverines reached the quarterfinals for the first time since 2007 after a dramatic comeback victory over No. 9 New Hampshire.

After falling behind 3-0 after the first 24 minutes, sophomore forward Rachael Mack scored her first goal of the match with 11 seconds left in the first half to make the score 3-1.

Mack, the leading scorer, didn't get help and couldn't do it all herself against North Carolina

Michigan outscored the Wildcats, 4-1, in the second half to complete the comeback.

Michigan scored with under five minutes left to tie the game up 4-4 after Mack scored her second goal of the game on a feed by freshman forward Emy Guttman.

Less than a minute later, Mack completed her hat trick by scoring her team leading 17th goal of the season and fifth game-winning goal to give Michigan a 5-4 lead.

All the excitement of Saturday's victory was doomed by the third rematch with the Tar Heels.

“We’ve had a nice season and I’m proud of them,” Pankratz said.
