PROGRAM OVERVIEW

North Carolina Central's women's basketball program competes from Durham's McDougald-McLendon Arena as a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference member fielding 15 players under coach Terrence Baxter. Founded in 1910, the university serves 7,965 students and has become a central part of its community's athletic landscape. The Eagles completed a challenging season with a 7-16 overall record, though they showed more competitive balance at home (6-7) than on the road (1-9), indicating venue familiarity provided an advantage.

Offensive efficiency proved NCCУ's primary struggle this winter, as the Eagles averaged just 62.7 points per game while opponents scored 70.4—an 7.7-point deficit that compounds over the season's length. The team's conference record of 3-6 reflects these scoring challenges within MEAC play, where consistent offensive production determines tournament positioning. Bаxter's squad managed to keep most home contests competitive, suggesting potential for improving the 1-9 away mark if road execution can replicate the scoring discipline demonstrated in Durham.
