Senior forward Xylina McDaniel watched first-year guard Destinee Walker’s last-second 3-point heave sail through the air and clang off the rim.
The North Carolina women’s basketball team had lost another close game, this time 66-63 at the hands of the Pacific Tigers on Wednesday in Carmichael Arena, snapping UNC’s four-game winning streak.
McDaniel, who played in her fourth game since sustaining a preseason calf injury, came off the bench to score a team-high 16 points and grab nine rebounds in 23 minutes of playing time.
Despite her performance, McDaniel said she knows she is not yet completely back to playing shape and can still play better.
