Karen Shelton stepped down following an undefeated season and national title in 2022. UNC didn't look far for her successor in 22-year-old Erin Matson who was just months removed from graduation. Matson was one of the best players in the country for the Tar Heels in her collegiate career. Now, she's continued the standard in her first year at the helm.
