Finding a Way

In Episode 45, “Finding a Way,” I break down another exciting week across Carolina Athletics as football picked up a historic ranked road win, basketball officially returned to the court, and fall sports continued building momentum. On the football side, I talk about UNC's 21-17 win over No. 25 Pitt, marking the first ranked victory of the Bill Belichick era. I highlight standout performances from Jordan Shipp and Shamar Easter, the defense's game-winning stops, and what this breakthrough could mean heading into the rivalry matchup against Duke. For men's basketball, I dive into Carolina's 88-70 exhibition win over USC, the first look at Michael Malone's new-look roster, performances from some newcomers, and the upcoming preseason matchup against Indiana. On the women's basketball side, I highlight Kate Harpring's Preseason All-ACC recognition and the team's upcoming exhibition against Davidson. In the recap, I cover volleyball extending its winning streak to seven matches, men's soccer's dominant 7-1 win over Notre Dame, field hockey's continued push toward consistency, cross country preparing for championship season, baseball's Fall World Series, and women's soccer navigating a schedule change before more ACC action. From football finally closing out a big game to basketball's new beginning and fall sports finding ways to win, Carolina is continuing to build momentum across the board.
