Ask Kate Levy about the \u201cgolden key incident\u201d and she blushes. A quick wave of embarrassment cuts through the composure she carries on the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh gosh\u2026\u201d she says, trailing off before she can get to the details, already shaking her head like she can see it happening again in real time.<\/p>\n

The story about the golden key is as good a place as any to begin to understand what it meant to grow up the youngest of the three Levy siblings. To be the only girl of the bunch, always fighting in one way or another to earn her place. To be Kate Levy, tagging along with two older brothers and their friends, taking the hits, learning quickly that nothing would be given. Not in the backyard, not in the house, not on the field, not anywhere.<\/p>\n

She played soccer too, and played it well enough to imagine a future there. But lacrosse was always there, constant and unavoidable, passed down through two parents who had lived it at the highest level. Jenny Levy, the only UNC women\u2019s lacrosse head coach in program history and Kate\u2019s mother, led Virginia to its first national championship in 1991 as an All-American. Dan Levy, a vice president at Wasserman and Kate\u2019s father, also won a national title in 1991. He did so at UNC. Kate\u2019s two older brothers, Ryan (24) and Alec (22), also played lacrosse at North Carolina.<\/p>\n

Lacrosse, from the time Kate was old enough to hold a stick, became the proving ground \u2014 the place she climbed from all-boys youth leagues to a second-team All-American at UNC. Now, Kate \u201cCoast-to-Coast<\/u><\/a>\u201d Levy is a starting midfielder for the Tar Heels, who are preparing to bring that same edge to the Final Four in Evanston, Illinois, as they defend their national title this weekend. That fight has always defined Jenny, which is why it\u2019s defined her powerhouse program in Chapel Hill and, of course, trickled down to her daughter Kate.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also why, sitting in her office in late April in front of her four NCAA championship trophies, Coach Levy doesn\u2019t start with stats or accolades when asked to describe her daughter.<\/p>\n

She starts with a story.<\/p>\n

Her favorite. The one about the golden key.<\/p>\n

It was a Sunday afternoon toward the end of spring. Kate was about three years old, Jenny estimates, which would make Alec \u201cprobably five\u201d and Ryan \u201cprobably seven.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kate had a habit then, Jenny said, of slipping into her brothers\u2019 rooms and \u201crummaging\u201d through whatever she could find. That day, Ryan\u2019s golden key was the subject of her search.<\/p>\n

From what Ryan recalls, he tracked Kate down in their backyard to reclaim his key \u2014 complete with a forceful shove \u2014 before going over to a friend\u2019s house for a couple hours, leaving his bedroom defenseless against Kate\u2019s fury.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came back and it was a friggin\u2019 gong show,\u201d Ryan said. \u201cThere were crayon marks on my walls. My bed was covered in baby powder and shampoo. I lost my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan\u2019s Nintendo DS, a centerpiece of childhood currency, took the worst of it. Alec vividly remembers it \u201ccompletely glued shut with body wash.\u201d Jenny said it sat \u201csizzling\u201d in the corner of Ryan\u2019s room. The two brothers still commiserate about the Mario Kart levels lost on that fateful day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a brand-new house,\u201d Jenny added. \u201cThe rugs were stained. There was crap everywhere. It looked like she came and robbed his room, at (age) three. We were all like, \u2018that might be an indicator that we\u2019ve got a live wire.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Kate?<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned that I was not a very nice sister,\u201d Kate said, \u201cand I think I\u2019ve definitely grown to like Ryan and Alec a little more.\u201d<\/p>\n

But upon reflection, and with a little bit of prompting, she\u2019ll give her brothers some credit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think my personality is based off of growing up with my brothers,\u201d Kate added, \u201cand it\u2019s been constructed by fighting with them, having some battles. I joke with my roommates all the time. They\u2019re like, \u2018You\u2019re really confrontational.\u2019 If something\u2019s going on or something needs to be said, it\u2019s just said. No one beats around the bush. I think that\u2019s how my family operates. That\u2019s definitely rubbed off on me, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kate didn\u2019t need to be pushed into sports as a kid. She was always forcing her way in.<\/p>\n

Whether it was street hockey or pickup basketball, she wanted a spot with her brothers.<\/p>\n

\u201c(It) made her a better athlete,\u201d Jenny said, \u201cbecause she\u2019s always playing up with the boys. And the rule was, if you played with the boys, there\u2019s no whining or complaining. You had to be tough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kate played club boys\u2019 lacrosse with the Carolina Cannons until sixth grade \u2014 long enough for the game to shape her in ways that still show up now.<\/p>\n

That meant getting knocked around. It meant learning how to hold onto the ball with defenders slashing at her and her stick.<\/p>\n

It also meant hearing it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe other kids I was playing against saw the braid coming out of the back and would be like, \u2018You\u2019re a girl. You can\u2019t be here. You can\u2019t play with us,\u2019\u201d Kate said. \u201cAnd then I would just take that personally and go put it into my play.\u201d<\/p>\n

That same idea applied at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere wasn\u2019t any type of princess behavior going on in our household,\u201d Jenny said.<\/p>\n

Ryan and Alec didn\u2019t take it easy on her. If anything, they made it harder. They teamed up on her. Pushed her. Tested how much she would take.<\/p>\n

One summer at a UNC boys\u2019 lacrosse camp, Alec \u2014 who estimates Kate was about eight at the time \u2014 found himself lined up across from his little sister, the smallest person on the field.<\/p>\n

Kate and Jenny remember it being a ground ball drill. Alec recalls it a bit differently.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re scrimmaging, and someone was smart enough to put us on opposite teams,\u201d Alec said. \u201cThe goalie throws an outlet pass to her. I see this golden arch of the ball. I have a full-on 10-yard head start to just hit her as hard as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n

All the Levys remember the next part the same way.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe just came out of nowhere and just blew me up,\u201d Kate said. \u201cLike, \u2018Oh sh*t.\u2019 Completely rocked me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kate went down hard. Then she got up and charged her brother \u2014 swinging her stick without hesitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I definitely would go cry to my dad,\u201d Kate said. \u201cAnd then other times, I\u2019d be like, \u2018All right. If you\u2019re gonna do that to me, I\u2019m gonna come after you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

During COVID, that meant stepping into workouts with her high school brothers. Ryan had just graduated from East Chapel Hill High and was trying to prepare for the next level. His eight-grade sister \u201cdropping passes left and right\u201d wasn\u2019t exactly conducive to that.<\/p>\n

Jenny told Kate, \u201cif you want to be included, you got to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n

So she did.<\/p>\n

Kate turned to the garage, where a cinder block wall became her training partner. She kept tally on a wooden post, determined to outwork her brothers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018I want to hit the wall more than you guys do,\u2019\u201d Kate said. \u201cAnd I want to win this battle and always be ahead. So that\u2019s when I really saw an improvement in my stick work.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The difference showed. The drops faded and her game sharpened. But Ryan didn\u2019t ease up. His passes still came in hot. Early on, Kate\u2019s instinct was to flinch. He wouldn\u2019t allow it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you\u2019re throwing it at my face!\u201d Kate would say.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t care, catch the ball,\u201d Ryan would reply before firing another pass at her head.<\/p>\n

Over and over. No excuses. Just reps, and the expectation she\u2019d handle them.<\/p>\n

To grow up in the Levy household is to be constantly surrounded by pressure. That\u2019s not to say the Levy kids didn\u2019t have their childhood fun \u2014 far from it. Some of Alec\u2019s earliest memories around his mom\u2019s program, he said, are running around the outside of Dorrance Field, circling the rocky ground and a tree stump he and Ryan always gravitated toward.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were so young, we had no clue what was going on in the game,\u201d Alec added.<\/p>\n

But Kate did.<\/p>\n

\u201cKate was in the huddle and was in practice from ages five to 15,\u201d Ryan said. \u201cShe was not playing, but she was a part of those conversations. She was a fly on the wall during film, during meetings. Whether she understood it or not, she was taking in information and understanding how to feel in those moments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jenny\u2019s players were there at every stage of Kate\u2019s childhood. They were babysitters when she was a toddler. They were coaches when she first picked up a stick. They took time after practice to shoot on goal with her. Most kids take field trips to zoos or museums. Kate\u2019s field trips were bus rides with her mom\u2019s teams to Charlottesville. She saw how these young women prepared for high stakes games. She sat with them after wins and losses.<\/p>\n

The wins, of course, outnumbered the losses. UNC\u2019s first national title came in 2013, a triple-overtime championship game Kate remembers only in fragments \u2014 the nerves, Ryan in tears afterward and the rush of fans spilling out from the stands.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just remember being so invested in it,\u201d Kate said. \u201cIt\u2019s so funny that now I\u2019m invested in another way. Sometimes I find myself reacting to my teammates\u2019 goals on the sideline and I just get super intense. I\u2019m like, \u2018Wow. That hasn\u2019t changed.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

By the time recruiting opened, Kate Levy wasn\u2019t just a coach\u2019s daughter. She was one of the best high school players in the country \u2014 a top-three recruit nationally and U.S. U20 gold medalist. College coaches weren\u2019t questioning her ability. They were deciding whether it was even worth trying to pull her away from mom.<\/p>\n

For a moment, Kate considered it. She remembers that lasting about a week.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was one day,\u201d Dan countered. \u201cHonestly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dan talked Kate through her options one November day as he drove her to a soccer practice. They ran through what she wanted: a great school, a place that could win a national championship, a high level of play. Then he started naming schools.<\/p>\n

One by one, the list fell apart.<\/p>\n

No, not there. No, I wouldn\u2019t go there. No.<\/i><\/p>\n

Finally, Dan asked, \u201cIf your mom wasn\u2019t the coach at Carolina, where would you go?\u201d<\/p>\n

She\u2019d still want to go to Carolina, she said. And just like that, her recruitment process was over. She told her club coach not to bother fielding calls. There would be no visits. No flood of offers that most elite prospects spend years anticipating.<\/p>\n

On Sept. 1 of her junior year, the first day college coaches can officially make direct contact, Kate was getting ready for class when her phone rang around 7:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

While most recruits watch for particular area codes to call their line, her phone lit up with \u201cmom.\u201d Jenny knew what her daughter\u2019s answer would be, but she still had to ask the question.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey,\u201d Jenny said, \u201cdo you want to finally be a Tar Heel?\u201d<\/p>\n

One of Dan\u2019s favorite photos of Kate is grainy and dim, taken inside the locker room after Coach Levy\u2019s first national championship in 2013.<\/p>\n

Kate is six. A backwards championship hat swallows her little head. Around her, UNC players form a loose circle, half-exhausted, half-elated. Kate\u2019s on her knees, both hands wrapped around the trophy, staring at it like nothing else exists.<\/p>\n

The next day, she and her brothers wore all their championship gear to school \u2014 even the adult sneakers Kate joked looked like \u201cclown shoes\u201d on her.<\/p>\n

At Estes Hills Elementary in Chapel Hill, the principal came over the loudspeaker to congratulate Kate, Alec and Ryan\u2019s mom on winning the national title. The siblings brought pieces of the cut-down net and passed it around to their classmates like a show-and-tell item.<\/p>\n

In the Levy household, this didn\u2019t stay a one-off memory for long. UNC women\u2019s lacrosse won it again in 2016 when Kate was nine, and again in 2022 when she was 15. Last year, as an 18-year-old freshman, she scored and caused two turnovers in the Tar Heels\u2019 national championship win over Northwestern.<\/p>\n

Kate played all 22 games last season and was ranked by Inside Lacrosse as the No. 5 impact freshman in the country.<\/p>\n

Her production has only grown since.<\/p>\n

As a sophomore starter this year, Kate was named a second-team All-American and currently has 26 goals, 14 assists, 27 ground balls (second on the team), 21 caused turnovers (tied for the team lead) and 10 draw controls on the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honor to play alongside Kate,\u201d UNC sophomore attacker Chloe Humphrey, the reigning national player of the year, said. \u201cShe is just a dog. She\u2019ll put the team on her back to do anything we need to win\u2026 she\u2019s such a menace all over the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

And in the biggest moments, Kate keeps showing up the same way she did in that photo: in the center of the action. Ryan still raves about his little sister\u2019s goal in the 2025 ACC Championship, which saw her \u201ccause the turnover, pick up the ground ball, and (go) right to the rack.\u201d Alec is practically giddy when he describes his favorite play of hers from this year\u2019s conference title game \u2014 reciting the moment with the precision of a seasoned play-by-play announcer.<\/p>\n

Stanford had clawed back with three straight fourth-quarter goals. Then Kate stepped in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s maybe eight minutes left, and you could tell it was a little tighter,\u201d Alec said, recalling his view from the stands. \u201cAnd she catches the ball on the backside, dodges the first girl, basically splits the second girl \u2014 gets hit across the face \u2014 and stomps one home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI looked at my dad,\u201d Alec continued, \u201cand I was like, \u2018that was the biggest goal of the game.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Kate\u2019s goal sealed a 12-8 ACC championship win for North Carolina and a hat trick for her. But Humphrey\u2019s still thinking about Kate\u2019s first goal of the game \u2014 which saw her break through a double team and hit the floor as her goggles were knocked off her head.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat play says so much about Kate as a player and as a leader,\u201d Humphrey said. \u201cShe doesn\u2019t try and flail and get the call. She just puts her head down\u2026 Kate Levy can literally go through five sticks and still get the ball in the back of the net. So she\u2019ll do whatever it takes and no one\u2019s gonna get in her way.\u201d<\/p>\n

There were less than two hours until the team bus would leave for RDU, the first leg of a trip that would end in Evanston, Illinois, and, they hope, another national title. The sun sat heavy over midday practice at the Bill Koman Practice Complex \u2014 89 degrees pushing past 90 with the humidity, the outdoor turf trapping and radiating heat back up through their cleats. And still they ran.<\/p>\n

The Tar Heels had already gone through everything: full-field scrimmaging, half-field sets, scout looks, shooting \u2014 the kind of practice that empties you out. And then they followed that with sprints.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast one, best one!\u201d a staffer yelled, finally.<\/p>\n

Hands dropped to hips. Heads tilted back. Pinnies doubled as towels, dragged across faces. Someone turned up Rihanna\u2019s \u201cBreaking Dishes,\u201d on the speaker, the bass thumping as some line about \u201ctaking names\u201d cut through the heat. The players braced for the whistle that would release them for one last sprint from baseline to midfield. One last run and they\u2019d be out of their misery.<\/p>\n

Kate Levy bounced on her toes.<\/p>\n

Not restless. Ready.<\/p>\n

She tapped her feet, quick and light. She jerked her neck to the side \u2014 a small reset, like flipping a switch. While others gathered themselves, she leaned forward.<\/p>\n

In the distance, Jenny Levy watched.<\/p>\n

Truthfully, there hasn\u2019t been much time for her or Kate to reflect about how special this experience is. The two are the first mother-head coach\/daughter-player relationship in Division I women\u2019s lacrosse, says Jenny. Winning their first national title together last year \u2014 thus becoming the first mom-daughter pair to do so \u2014 offered a brief period to breathe and ruminate. And then Jenny\u2019s focus quickly turned to doing it again. To pushing her Tar Heels, who went 22-0 last season, past perfection.<\/p>\n

Because Jenny demands the best. Because Jenny loves each of her players like her own daughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s always very vocal, very direct, but also encouraging,\u201d Kate said. \u201cShe\u2019s very good at mixing criticism with compliments. And I think that\u2019s why what she has to say is really well received. I think that\u2019s something I\u2019ve tried to emulate in my leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, three days before another Final Four, under a punishing sun, the Tar Heels ran again. And in the middle of the pack was Kate, already set, already wanting it.<\/p>\n

She bent into her sprinter stance and prepared to take off again alongside her teammates \u2014 she and the rest of Jenny\u2019s girls.<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, what I want for her as a mom and as a coach is to have her experiencing all these moments and memories with her team,\u201d Jenny said. \u201cIt\u2019s not as much about me and her. But I think after the fact, in five years, we\u2019ll look back be like, \u2018That was sick.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
