The North Carolina women’s basketball team found its spark on Sunday, even if it didn’t come until late.
Bucknell (3-1) proved tough against the Tar Heels (3-0), not shying away from playing fast and aggressive on both sides of the court in UNC’s 65-50 win.
The Bison pounced immediately, snagging five offensive boards in the first 10 minutes. As the game wore on, however, the battle on the boards evened out.
Head Coach Sylvia Hatchell was satisfied with her team’s efforts on the glass. Coming into Sunday, Bucknell had out-rebounded opponents by a margin of 22 per game, and the Bison had the rebounding advantage against 60 of their last 66 opponents.
