Sanaa Thompson matches UNC softball freshman record

Posted May 5, 2024
This year is nothing short of amazing for the UNC softball team. For the first time since 2019, North Carolina has reached the 30-win threshold. What makes this season even more impressive – this is the Tar Heels’ first year playing under new head coach Megan Smith Lyon, a former player, who took over for longtime leader Donna Papa in the offseason.
