The North Carolina field hockey team plays a pair of games this weekend, hosting No. 11 Louisville on Saturday in Durham and then traveling to Richmond, Va., Sunday to take on VCU.

Game time for Saturday's Atlantic Coast Conference match-up at Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium is 1 p.m. There is no charge for admission and directions are here.

The Cardinals arrive in Durham with a record of 10-4 overall (3-1 ACC) and a six-game winning streak. This is their second game of the season at Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium: Their one conference loss of the fall came to Duke on the Blue Devils' home field, 5-0 on Sept. 15. Sophomore Minout Mink leads the team with eight goals and 18 points. Senior Nicole Woods is next with six goals and 17 points. Woods and Marisa Martine Pelegrina lead the team in assists with five each.

The Tar Heels and Cardinals last met on Oct. 15, 2016, in Louisville. The home team won 1-0 on a second half goal by Erin McCrudden.
