The UNC women’s basketball team hits the court tonight for an exhibition match against Carson-Newman, at 6 pm in Carmichael Arena.

Head coach Sylvia Hatchell will be back on the sidelines after missing all of last year to fight leukemia. Tonight’s game will be a special one for Coach Hatchell for two reasons: Carson-Newman is her alma mater.

The Carolina women host one more exhibition next Monday at 6 pm against Wingate before the season officially begins next Friday. The Tar Heels will face Howard in their season opener, also in Carmichael at 4 pm.
