On Title IX anniversary, NCAA title is the aim for UNC women's tennis

Posted Jun 23, 2020
For the 2020-21 college tennis season, the North Carolina women will have 11 student-athletes on scholarship instead of eight due to the NCAA’s fifth-year exception for spring-sport athletes in response to the shortened season caused by COVID-19. For the Tar Heels, all three of their seniors—Alexa Graham, Sara Daavettila, and Makenna Jones—will be back. (USTA)
