Posted Feb 19, 2020
We sat down with one of UNC's longest-tenured coaches, women’s soccer coach Anson Dorrance, and one of the newest, women’s basketball coach Courtney Banghart, to discuss what it means to be part of Tar Heel women’s athletics. The duo actually met at the outset of Banghart’s coaching career, when she came to Chapel Hill to meet with Dorrance. (UNC.edu)
