"“Bringing Jaelynn back to our women’s basketball family is such a huge win for our program. She brings integrity, passion, and consistent positive energy, no matter the task or the day.She’s been a great player, a great teammate, and a consistent winner in the locker room. Jae loves Carolina and will work tirelessly to help us continue to move this program forward.”"

Murray is now the second former Tar Heel on the team’s current staff. The other is Liz Roberts, who is now serving as the program’s General Manager.
