Trena Trice-Hill is one of a select group of Wolfpack women's basketball players to have her jersey hanging in the rafters of Reynolds Coliseum following a storied four-year career from 1983-87. Trice-Hill averaged 15.1 points and 8.4 rebounds, including a double-double as a senior (18.3 points, 10.4 rebounds) to remain inked in the program's record book as the seventh all-time leading scorer (1,761) and fifth all-time leading rebounder (984). She also owns some of NC State's top five marks in multiple other categories including double-doubles (42), blocks (182) and field-goal percentage (.585).

Trice-Hill was an All-ACC honoree all four seasons of her career and helped lead the Pack to the ACC title sweep in 1984-85 and an ACC Tournament crown in 1986-87. A dominating center for NC State, she capped off her career as a Street & Smith and Women's Sports Federation All-American in 1987. That came after her junior campaign during which Trice-Hill was a 1986 finalist for the Wade Trophy that honors the top NCAA Division I women's basketball player.

Following her collegiate career, Trice-Hill was drafted by the WNBA's New York Liberty and went on to play professionally for nearly 15 years. She came back to Raleigh to serve as an assistant coach on Kay Yow's staff from 2004-09 before making multiple other stops in her coaching career.
