Erin Matson, a Chadds Ford native and the youngest-ever Division I field hockey coach, celebrated her boyfriend Ben Casparius’ World Series win, writes Isabella DiAmore for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Matson and Casparius, who was selected in the fifth round of the 2021 MLB Draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers, have been together for six years. They have shared many of each other’s biggest moments along the way.
Casparius was there when Matson became North Carolina’s field hockey coach at just 22 and he supported her throughout the entire last season when she led the Tar Heels to an NCAA title.
Most recently, Casparius helped his team win the World Series vs. the New York Yankees, to Matson’s great joy.
“That was a moment that he dreamed about his entire life,” said Matson. “I’ve dreamed about it for him to have. Being able to embrace each other in that moment and really just have a good long hug of just both of us being so proud of each other, celebrating and taking photos on the field with the confetti falling in Yankee Stadium, wearing his Dodger uniform, it was a total movie scene.”
