If you could imagine, the most physical game that a Tar Heels team was playing on Saturday afternoon wasn't taking place in Winston-Salem.

The UNC women's basketball program was challenged to a fight by the Fairfield Stags, a 12-round bout that ended in favor of the Tar Heels.

The Stags brought it right out of the gate, securing a 19-11 lead after one quarter of play.
