The University of North Carolina women’s basketball program has made significant strides in rebuilding its roster for the upcoming season. Under the leadership of head coach Courtney Banghart, the Tar Heels have secured two pivotal signings that are expected to bolster their lineup and bring a renewed sense of energy to the team.
Kyah Watson: A Defensive Dynamo
One of the most notable additions to the Tar Heels’ roster is Kyah Watson, a versatile guard known for her tenacious defense and all-around skills. Watson joins UNC after a standout career at West Virginia University, where she played a pivotal role in the Mountaineers’ success. In the 2022-23 season, she started all 33 games, averaging 8.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game. Her defensive prowess was evident as she recorded 78 steals, ranking fourth in the Big 12 Conference. Watson’s ability to contribute across various facets of the game makes her a valuable asset to the Tar Heels as they aim to strengthen their defensive capabilities and overall team dynamics.
Trayanna Crisp: A Scoring Threat from the Perimeter
Joining Watson is Trayanna Crisp, a dynamic guard transferring from Arizona State University. Crisp brings with her a wealth of experience, having played in 59 games over two seasons with the Sun Devils. In her sophomore year, she increased her scoring by over 50%, averaging 12.1 points per game. Her ability to stretch the floor with her three-point shooting and her scoring versatility will provide the Tar Heels with an additional offensive weapon.
Grace Townsend: A Seasoned Playmaker
To further enhance the backcourt, UNC has added graduate transfer Grace Townsend from the University of Richmond. Townsend concluded her career at Richmond as the first player in school history to accumulate over 1,000 points, 500 assists, and 500 rebounds. Her exceptional playmaking ability and leadership on the court will be instrumental in orchestrating the Tar Heels’ offense and mentoring the younger players.
A New Era for UNC Women’s Basketball
These strategic signings mark the beginning of a new era for UNC women’s basketball. With the infusion of experienced talent and a renewed focus on team cohesion, the Tar Heels are poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming season. The combination of Watson’s defensive tenacity, Crisp’s scoring ability, and Townsend’s playmaking expertise provides a solid foundation for the team’s success. As the season approaches, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how these additions will elevate the program to new heights.
