North Carolina Tar Heels Women’s Basketball History

The University of North Carolina Tar Heels women’s basketball team competed for the first time during the 1974-75 season. UNC joined the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1977 and have since claimed nine ACC Tournament trophies and four regular season conference championships. Among the team’s 32 appearances in Women’s March Madness, the Tar Heels have won the National Championship game once in 1994 and advanced to the Final Four on three occasions. Coach Sylvia Hatchell led the team from 1986 to 2019, retiring with the third-most wins for a women’s college basketball coach and a 751-325 record at UNC. Courtney Banghart succeeded Hatchell as head coach ahead of the 2019-20 season.

North Carolina Tar Heels at Carmichael Arena

Carmichael Arena, or “Blue Heaven,” has deep roots in the history of UNC athletics. Opened as the Carmichael Auditorium in 1965, the 6,822-seat venue shares a wall with the basketball team’s previous facility at Woollen Gymnasium. Carmichael Arena served as the joint home court for the men’s and women’s basketball teams until 1986, and it continues to house the women’s basketball team as well as UNC volleyball, women's gymnastics and wrestling. Its low, domed ceiling and steel-beam framework design allow for greater sound reverberations, heightening sound levels and giving Carmichael Arena one of the best home-court advantages in all of college basketball.
