Tar Heels women find way back to NCAAs

Posted Mar 18, 2019
North Carolina’s women’s basketball team is back in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2015. From coach Sylvia Hatchell’s perspective, it another step in distancing the Tar Heels from a dark period. “We were (among the top teams) in the country until the NCAA thing hit. But we persevered, and we’re back to being one of the top teams, I feel like, in the country.” (Burlington Times News)
