UNC Women’s Tennis Earns No. 5 Overall Seed in NCAA Tournament

UNC will be the No. 5 overall seed in the 2025 NCAA Women’s Tennis Tournament. The full bracket was announced Monday afternoon.

As a national seed, the Tar Heels will host one of the tournament’s 16 regionals at the Chewning Tennis Center in Chapel Hill. Three other teams will join UNC in the regional: South Carolina, Kansas and VCU. The Tar Heels will face VCU in the first round on Friday, May 2, with the winner facing the winner of South Carolina or Kansas the next day. Though the order of play has not yet been confirmed, UNC said it expects the Kansas and South Carolina match to begin at 1 p.m. Friday afternoon, with the Tar Heels following up at 4 p.m.

UNC enters the NCAA Tournament as ACC Tournament champions for the second year in a row. The Tar Heels are 23-4 overall and 11-1 in ACC play, having won eight straight matches and 16 of their last 17.

This is the 26th consecutive year UNC will have appeared in the NCAA Tournament. Head coach Brian Kalbas has been at the helm for 22 of those seasons, 21 of which have seen UNC earn a national seed. The program’s all-time record in NCAA Tournament play is 64-24, and it has advanced past the regional round 19 times. The Tar Heels reached the Round of 16 in 2024 and won the NCAA championship in 2023.

UNC is the highest-seeded ACC team in the tournament field. Other conference members with national seeds are No. 7 Virginia, No. 8 Duke and No. 12 NC State. Cal, Stanford, Wake Forest, Notre Dame, Clemson and Georgia Tech received bids as unseeded teams.
