Once again, it wasn’t the fourth quarter that cost the North Carolina women’s basketball team an ACC win.
A 14-0 run by Boston College (9-16, 2-10) to end the first quarter put the Tar Heels (13-11, 2-9) behind the eight-ball early, and a strong second half couldn’t quite get UNC past the Eagles’ school-record performance from beyond the arc in an 88-77 win for Boston College in Carmichael Arena.
“They were getting points in transition,” head coach Sylvia Hatchell said. “They ran with us, and we were really surprised with that.”
UNC shot the ball poorly in the first quarter, hitting just 18.
