Two UNC WBB stars earn WNBA Training Camp Invites
The 2024-2025 college basketball season was kind to the UNC women's basketball program, which enjoyed its most successful campaign in three years.
North Carolina made a run to the Sweet 16, before watching its season come to an end against archrival Duke in a 47-38 offensive struggle. The Tar Heels (29-8, 13-5 ACC) finished tied for fourth with Florida State in a loaded ACC, one which sent nine teams to the NCAA Tournament.
Two major factors behind UNC's big season were the vaunted post duo of Alyssa Ustby and Maria Gakdeng, both of whom played themselves into WNBA Draft consideration. Neither got selected during the April 14 Draft, but good news is on the horizon for each.
