While at UNC, Overbeck remained unbeaten for four seasons, and won four national championships.

In their first-ever NCAA appearance, Duke made it all the way to the final, only to lose to North Carolina.

In 1999, while coaching at Duke, Overbeck played in the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup[4] as a captain.

[7] The transition would prove a difficult one, with the Blue Devils winning 9 and 8 games in Hempen's first two seasons.

2009 proved to be a down year with the team finishing 8–9–4 and only reaching the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

The Blue Devils set a new record for total wins in a season with 22 en route to the NCAA Final.

In 2014, Lesesne left Duke for a head coaching job at Georgia, and was replaced by Erwin van Bennekom.

[8] 2014 proved difficult, as the Blue Devils had their first losing season since 2009 and ended a spell of eleven straight NCAA Tournament appearances.

They extended their streak of NCAA Tournament Quarterfinal appearances to three, but were again stopped at that stage.

Head coach Robbie Church had considered retirement prior to the 2023 season, but did not want to end on a low note.

They were ranked first in the nation for an extended period and won their fourth ACC regular season title.
