Blanca Thomas leads UNC's charge to replace rebounding, post production

Seventeen rebounds per game went out the door for UNC Women’s Basketball. So how does coach Courtney Banghart replace that production? She doesn't — at least not directly. But she can redistribute it — get a little longer, a little tougher, a little smarter. And standing at the middle of that equation is 6-foot-5 sophomore center Blanca Thomas. (Daily Tar Heel)

UNC Guard Reniya Kelly Named To Naismith Trophy Watch List

Known for generating plenty of noise on the court, UNC's Reniya Kelly is creating plenty off of it as the junior guard was named to the 2025-26 Naismith Trophy Women's College Player of the Year Watch List. The acclaim continues to roll in for Kelly, who has already been named Preseason All-ACC and to the Nancy Lieberman Award Preseason Watch List. (GoHeels.com)

Ciera Toomey pursuing bigger role within UNC women's basketball

Ciera Toomey played in 32 games last season, spending most of them on the bench. Averaging just 10.2 minutes per game, the forward spent the majority of those games watching Alyssa Ustby. But now the program’s all-time rebounds leader is in Italy playing professional basketball, and Toomey is still at UNC looking to fill that void in the lineup. (Daily Tar Heel)
