Women’s lacrosse coach Jenny Levy is leaving her mark on campus and internationally.

Women’s lacrosse coach Jenny Levy is leaving her mark on campus and internationally.

In more than 20 seasons at the helm of the UNC women’s lacrosse team, Jenny Levy has won two national championships, reached nine Final Fours and won more than 300 games. She’s also head coach of the United States women’s national team, a post she will hold through the next World Cup in 2021.

“At Carolina, we always talk about leaving something better than you found it, leave a legacy, take risks and be bold,” Levy said. “What a great opportunity for me to demonstrate these things to my own kids and our Carolina players.”
