50 Years: Unrelenting Excellence

UNC Athletic Communications


Associate Sports Information Director, Retired

One of the earliest programs in Carolina's 50-year history of women's athletics, and one of it's most successful, is women's tennis. Quietly successful for decades, the program has been a major part of the history of the last century in Chapel Hill.

The current leader, one of a long line of extraordinary head coaches? Brian Kalbas.

A Notre Dame alumnus and former head coach at William & Mary, he arrived at Carolina in the fall of 2003. And on March 20, Kalbas earned his 700th dual match victory as a head coach when the Tar Heels defeated Boston College.
