On December 4, 1994, Charlotte Smith, then a member of the UNC Tar Heels women’s basketball team, became the second collegiate women’s player ever to dunk in a game. By the time she left Chapel Hill, Smith had scored nearly 2,100 points, grabbed 1,200 rebounds and became one of only two women’s basketball players at UNC to have her jersey retired.
