Levy Wins IWLCA Regional Coaching Honor
July 26, 2021 | Women's Lacrosse
CHAPEL HILL—North Carolina head women's lacrosse coach Jenny Levy is the 2021 IWLCA South Region Coach of the Year, the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association announced on Monday.
Other regional winners were Jill Batcheller of Drexel (Mid-Atlantic), Acacia Walker-Weinstein of Boston College (Northeast) and Kelly Amonte Hiller of Northwestern (West/Midwest).
In 2021, Levy guided Carolina to 20 consecutive wins to open the season, a fifth consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference championship and its ninth trip to at least the NCAA semifinals in the last 12 tournaments.
Levy led UNC to its 12 final four and ninth ACC regular season title under her tutelage, running its winning streak over the 2020 and 2021 seasons to 27 games. That 27-game winning streak is the longest in school history and the seventh-longest in NCAA annals. UNC posted a perfect, 9-0, record in the ACC regular season, the top conference in America, and went 18-1 against IWLCA-ranked teams overall in 2021.
Carolina led the nation in scoring defense (at 6.57 goals allowed per game) and outscored its 2021 opponents by 9.05 goals per game (ranking third nationally). The Tar Heels' 20 wins tied the UNC program record. UNC won its sixth overall ACC Tournament, and Levy's ACC coaching peers voted her the 2021 ACC Coach of the Year for the sixth time.
At the end of the season, the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame named Levy as a 2021 inductee into its ranks.
