Home Arenas

While historic Carmichael Auditorium was under renovation, the women's team played the 2008-09 season at the Dean Smith Center to the south of campus. The final game at the old Carmichael was a 82-51 rout of local rivals Duke in front of a sell-out 8,010 attendance, completing an unbeaten home and conference season.^[1] Upon reopening, the building's name was changed to Carmichael Arena.

Retired and Honored Jerseys

For a player to have her jersey honored and hung in the Carmichael Auditorium rafters, she must have been a first-team All-American, been a member of an Olympic team as an undergraduate, or been selected by the coaches as Most Valuable Player of a national championship team. For retiring a jersey, a player must be named national player of the year.^[2]
