DaGrip with Nicole Woods - Head Coach of the UNC Wilmington Lady Seahawks

David Anthoni welcomes Nicole Woods, the new head basketball coach of the UNC Wilmington Lady Seahawks to talk about her recent opportunity to take the helm of a college basketball program. Woods leaves the Lady 49ers  where she was the recruiting coordinator and aided Charlotte in bringing home the 2021-22 Conference USA regular season and tournament championships and a bid into the NCAA tournament.
 
Woods played four seasons at Belmont Abbey (2002-06), where she blossomed into an NCAA Division II Bulletin Second-Team All-American, averaging 24.1 ppg, less than .01 ppg behind the national leader. Woods was also selected Carolina-Virginia Athletic Conference (now Conference Carolinas) Player of the Year after averaging 7.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists during her senior campaign.

Woods earned degrees in Accounting and Business Management at Belmont-Abbey and graduated in 2006 as the school’s fourth all-time leading scorer with 1,641 points. Her 676 markers in 2005-06 are a school record.

Woods, who was inducted into the Gaston Sports Hall of Fame in 2022, played professionally in England for the Nottingham Wildcats in 2007-08, leading the team in assists and ranking second in scoring.
