Title IX thread can be traced through Marsha Lake, UNC's first female All-American, and her daughter
Posted Jul 10, 2022
Marsha Lake was among a generation of pioneers in women’s basketball. A small-town girl who stood 6 feet tall in seventh grade, Lake played at UNC from 1971 to 1975. Her career straddled the passage of Title IX, the law that bans discrimination on the basis of sex at schools that receive federal funding. She was the Tar Heels’ first female all-American.
