Sylvia Hatchell goes for career win No. 800

Posted Jan 10, 2009
Shortly after UNC had rallied to beat Clemson, Jessica Breland approached coach Sylvia Hatchell on the team bus to inquire how she felt about winning 799 games in her career. "Does it make you feel old?" the junior asked. Hatchell chuckled at the thought and said no. "I said, 'I'm just looking forward to that next win.'" Hatchell's second-ranked Tar Heels could get her the milestone 800th win Sunday against rival N.C. State, making her the fourth women's coach to reach the mark. (Fayetteville Observer)
