Reflecting on why she was hired Levy stated, “I was 24 years old, and I think I got hired because I was pretty cheap, very ambitious and high energy, I believed in the school and what we could sell here to student-athletes with academic opportunity and great tradition. I focused on what I knew and could do.”〔 The task of creating a successful women’s lacrosse team was challenging; during the preliminary years of the program Levy had only a part-time assistant and a small budget.〔Cena, Alex. “Stories of the Year: No. 1: North Carolina Captures First Title.” Inside Lacrosse.

Another obstacle was being a part of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), which had the University of Maryland and the University of Virginia, two established women’s lacrosse teams.〔 Levy stated, “we rose pretty quickly, but there was not a lot of foundation, and it is very hard to establish tradition when you are a young program; sitting where I am today, I have learned that it takes a while to establish things that identify with the program that is unique to just that program.”〔 Although the task at hand was difficult the Tar Heels started out with success early on with a 12-4 record in its first varsity season of 1996.〔 In their second year, UNC made the NCAA semifinals with a 14-4 record, tallying two victories against the Virginia Cavaliers. In UNC’s third season, the Tar Heels beat the eventual NCAA champion Maryland two times and reached the semifinals of the NCAA again.〔 By the third season in program history UNC claimed the number 2 overall ranking.〔 Levy’s program grew stronger as years passed and certain perks came along with that success; Levy was granted a full-time assistant and UNC started to increase their athletic support staff overall.〔 Levy spoke of the early years saying “It was a gradual process of pushing and asking; it was a process for all Carolina sports, and slowly we have made progress with that, but even with it, the athletic program has been very successful.”〔 The UNC Women's Lacrosse team is in their 19th season of program history. Phil Barnes has served as the Assistant Coach for 10 seasons.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North Carolina Tar Heels women's lacrosse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
