2018: 8-19 Final Record: UNC loses Eve Rackham, Gavin Watt, and Tyler Adams to Tenn; Scoles, Borup, Calrton, Fields, Leath all transfer. Start with #8 recruiting class. Lose Harrison (#22 Recruit) to injury. Bring in Atherton, Tontai, and Wine. Susan Clements and Mike Schall replace assistant coaches. NO ACC picks, no NCAA or NIVC qualifications, and finished tied for last in the conference.
2019: 15-13 Final Record (7 more wins than prior season). Tied for 3rd in the ACC with a 12-6 record. Defeated BC in a sweep at home and beat #23 FSU at time at home for first ranked win since 2016. First winning season since 2016. Solid trajectory up last 2/3 of season, stumbled last 2 matches due to injury. Lost Ava Bell prior to season to transfer….placed Lauren Harrison on 1st Team All ACC team but choosing to transfer for 2020 season, placed Howard and Austin on ACC Freshmen Team. Kiki Cochar served as VAC

2020:
Lose to Graduation: Skylar Wine (OH), Katharine Esterly (S), Mia Fradenburg (L), Greer Moseman (DS)
Transfer Losses or Quit Team: Lauren Harrison (OH), Hadden LaGarde (OH)
Key Returnees: Skyy Howard (MH), Parker Austin (OH), Destiny Cox (RS), and Karenna Wurl (L)
Key Newcomers: Sydney Reed (DS/L from Metro), Kaya Merkler (MB/OH from Chapel Hill, Senior Ace Top 50 recruit), and Maylen Mitrovich (S, Team USA Pipeline)
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Roster Break Down: (Primary Positions)
Outside Hitters : Parker Austin, Amanda Phegley (Anticipate 2-3 OH Transfers/Late Commits)
Right Sides: Destiny Cox, Carly Peck
Middles: Skyy Howard, Aristea Tontai, Kaya Merkler, Raleigh Clark (Health?)
L/DS: Karenna Wurl, Olivia Diaz, Ryan Shannon, Sydney Reed
Setters: Hunter Atherton (if chooses to stay 5th year), Anabelle Archer, Maylen Mitrovich, Erin Boone
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Observations:
Need more terminal pin hitters; we only return one left side pin hitter. Could Destiny go back to the LS?
RS and M seem to be most solid offensively. Those should be strong areas for us.
Libero battle will be interesting, especially between Wurl and Reed.
Setting: Will Mitorvich, the future of UNC, run a 5-1 alone, or do we see a 5-2 or 6-2 based on who is available on the pins?
Of course we will also keep track of possibly more transfers here, transfers in and out….
also no comments about it being too early for a thread....we are already discussing the future in the 2019 thread. If you think its to early, don't participate
