The University of North Carolina women’s basketball team had been knocking on the door for a few games now, but couldn’t quite get over the hump, dropping five in a row heading into Sunday’s showdown with No. 18 N.C. State.
UNC, which didn’t have any problems scoring its last game out, finally put it all together against the Wolfpack, knocking off the ACC rival 83-70 in Carmichael Arena.
Four Tar Heels scored in double digits, but it was a spark by the veteran of the group, junior guard Jamie Cherry, that broke the game open for North Carolina (13-9, 2-7 ACC).
