University of North Dakota Athletics

The Gambucci name is legendary in the tennis world and Carol helped create that legacy during her time at North Dakota, as she becomes the first women’s tennis player to be inducted into the UND Letterwinners Athletics Hall of Fame.
 

A member of the first women’s tennis team at North Dakota, Gambucci helped begin a tradition of winning for the program by helping UND capture four conference titles, including a perfect 17-0 season in 1977-78. She led the Sioux to two AIAW Region VI Tournaments and was part of the longest unbeaten streak in program history at 37 matches.
 

She won a pair of conference doubles championships at the No. 1 court and was a runner-up on the No. 2 singles court in her rookie season. Gambucci was inducted into the North Dakota Tennis Hall of Fame in 2018.
