“Jessica is a very talented player and we wish her a successful next chapter in both her basketball career and in life,” said Hatchell. “We appreciate the hard work she has put into our program over the last two seasons.”
Washington, a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, came off the bench in all 35 games as a sophomore in 2014-15, averaging 7.3 points and 2.4 rebounds per game.
“It has truly been an honor representing the University of North Carolina these last two years and I want to personally thank Coach Hatchell for giving me the chance to play for the Tar Heels,” Washington said. “I've enjoyed my time at UNC and I wish my teammates success in their future, but right now I'm looking forward to a new opportunity to play for another quality institution and have the chance for more playing time.”
North Carolina reached the NCAA Sweet 16 this past season, posted a 26-9 record and received a No. 9 ranking in the final USA TODAY Sports Coaches' poll.
