Not all wins are the same but North Carolina women’s basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell will always remember Tuesday’s 79-63 win over Grambling State at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.
It was her 1,000th win as a coach during a career that spans two schools and 43 seasons.
And what made it even sweeter for Hatchell was that the victory came at a place she likes to call her second home. Hatchell has a beach house in Myrtle Beach she likes to call “Blue Heaven.”
UNC has visited Myrtle Beach for the 24th straight season, a tradition Hatchell said has been important throughout her career.
