UNC spent the week of Thanksgiving in Hawaii, playing in the Rainbow Wahine Classic, where the Tar Heels finished third with a 2-1 record and Coretta Brown and Candace Sutton were named to the all-tournament team.
Including players, staff, family and fans, the North Carolina group numbered nearly 100 people. The team left Chapel Hill on Nov. 25 and started the return trip from Hawaii on Dec. 2, arriving home on the evening of Dec. 3.
In addition to their three games and two practices, the Tar Heels had plenty of time to enjoy the island of Oahu. The team visited the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, attended a luau (where some found themselves on stage), snorkeled at Hanauma Bay and spent plenty of time on the beaches of Waikiki.
