Final Four is chalk so it will be a big challenge to win the Championship. And it's hard to go back-to-back. UNC is the best team there, but stay focused and hungry ladies and hoist another one.
This should be posted in every single locker room and athletic support facility at Carolina because this says it all! Salute!!
“Culture and standards and excellence is about people, and bringing the right people into Chapel Hill to wear our uniform — hard working, passionate, great teammates,” Levy said. “People that love the sport and love to come to practice every day. And so it doesn’t guarantee you wins, but it guarantees you an opportunity to be successful.” Coach Levy

It's the culture Dean started here 65 years ago.
And water is wet.
In fact, last I checked The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill predated and showed athletic excellence well before 1961.
This is not a personal affront to Coach Smith or you. This is a great quote, it is current, and, in this age of NIL, the name on the front of the jersey still means something.
In talking to people in the lacrosse sphere, it seems that there was some fuss regarding this year's bracket and the RPI. Most people I've spoken to think that UNC is the best team, but the Big Ten had a better year than the ACC, and thus got rewarded with the top seed. Levy made a comment in last night's interview that caught my eye.
"Stanford's a good team. I think it was a shame that they had to see us in the quarterfinal"

UNC80, I hate to burst your bubble, but Anson Dorrence started the culture here. Dean Smith stated this fact on numerous occasions that UNC should be known for women's soccer since they have the most National Championships and the way that Anson built the program up was amazing to Dean Smith. You have to give credit to Anson since Dean Smith said this himself. Go back and watch the tape / film.
Actually, while you’re bursting bubbles, coach Smith never said that, let alone “on numerous occasions.”
If you take your own advice and go back and watch the tape Coach Smith’s comments to this effect usually came in the context of interviewers labeling Carolina a “basketball school” and Coach would correct them that it was a women’s soccer school.
He absolutely did mention Coach Dorrance, Coach Fox, Coach Brown (1.0) and all of the other successful coaches on campus every chance he got, but let’s not edit what he said to make conform it to a specific narrative.
Yes, he did. If you go back and watch how the ACC basketball was formed. It gave the history of ACC basketball back when Frank McGuire was the head coach at UNC before Dean Smith, he did say it in the commentary. I am surprised that you did not watch this series. If was great. It went all the way back when Larry Brown played at UNC under Frank McGuire, Bones McKinney, etc., back when University of South Carolina was in the ACC and that was back in the 1950's.
