COLLEGE PARK, Md. — An old Atlantic Coast Conference rivalry is renewed as North Carolina women's basketball wraps up preseason action with a visit to Maryland for an exhibition on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET. Fans can stream the action against the Terrapins on B1G+.
TIPPING OFF

• Returning for year eight under Courtney Banghart, Carolina is coming off back-to-back Sweet 16s for its third in the last five seasons. UNC is one of 10 programs in the nation to reach the last two Regional Semifinals and one of 13 to reach three of the last five.
• Eight Tar Heels are set to run it back, with Ciera Toomey returning as the leading scorer and rebounder after averaging 8.8 and 6.2 points and rebounds per game last season.
• Banghart and Co. hit the recruiting trail blazing, bringing in four Power 4 transfers and two star-studded freshmen. The transfers boast a combined 167 starts and 315 games played.
NUMBERS TO KNOW
• 14 - ACC wins tallied by the Tar Heels last season to tie for the second most in program history and the most in a season since 2012-13. Carolina rattled off eight straight wins in league play.
• 295 - Three-pointers made in 2025-26 by the Tar Heels, a single-season program record. Carolina led the ACC last season from beyond the arc, shooting 35.1% from deep.
