From Men’s Baseball to Women’s Softball.

And now from Men’s Basketball to Women’s Basketball.

Seriously – how many schools can boast this diverse success? Not many.

The Women’s Basketball team had one of their best seasons in history this year, going 23-10 with 13 ACC wins.

They also went 12-2 at home, with their only losses coming from nationally-ranked teams.

It also seemed like they were on a mission to set new record and milestones: Aisha Sheppard became the program’s career leading scorer while setting the single season record for 3s at 96. Sheppard, Georgia Amoore, and Kayana Traylor were all named to the ACC All-Tournment team. And center Elizabeth Kitley won ACC Player of the Year.

Dominance.
