We can’t wait to have these alumni back on campus this weekend and see them wear Carolina blue once again. From Tewaaraton finalists to Honda Award winners, from World Team members to countless All-Americans – not to mention all the NCAA and ACC titles – these individuals have left a profound legacy on our team, University and community. As a coach, it’s always such a special moment to see our current players play against the people who paved a path of greatness for them.Jenny Levy, head coach
