Meet Ciara Gregory
Ciara Gregory '17 made history as a Charlotte 49ers basketball player, now she's making history in her first season as a coach. The former sharpshooter and current 49ers assistant coach, who holds the record for most 3-pointers in program history, reflects on her impact on the court and the strong women who have shaped her into who she is today. In her first season on the bench, she helped lead the team to an NCAA Tournament bid — the third in program history — with the team set to take on the Indiana Hoosiers tomorrow.
