Erin Matson finishes North Carolina hockey career in title style

USA star Erin Matson ended her college career as one of the most decorated in any NCAA sport after a late winner in the national final.

The win helped the Tar Heels, coached by Karen Shelton, finish the year 21-0 in another memorable season for this standout college team.

Victory was also the fourth title in the past five seasons.
