Am I right that this is one of the Wolf Spiders (Lycosidae)? - Hogna - female

Am I right that this is one of the Wolf Spiders (Lycosidae)? - Hogna - Female
Seven Springs, Wayne County, North Carolina, USA
May 4, 2013
This individual was hiding in a dead chrysanthemum root laying on top of the sandy soil in my yard. Beneath the root was a hole about 10-15mm in diameter, I had moved the root to throw it away but put it back, once I saw it was inhabited but after I had photographed the spider. I assume that this is a female since it is carrying an eggcase.

Wolf spider
Yes, definitely a wolf spider and female. Not sure which genus, but someone else may know. Did you get a dorsal shot by any chance?

I got one other good(ish) ima
I got one other good(ish) image and have added it. I kind of chased the spider out of the root where it was hiding to get the full shot and the last photo was taken as she went down into her hole in the ground.
