NC State Makes NCAA-Record First 13 3s in Win vs. Virginia
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Kayla Jones and her North Carolina State teammates had no idea how well they’d shot the ball in the first half until coach Wes Moore clued them in.
The eighth-ranked Wolfpack set an NCAA record by going 12 for 12 from 3-point range in the half, building a 46-32 lead en route to a 75-64 victory at Virginia. They extended their streak to 13 straight on Jones’ third 3 early in the third quarter, breaking the mark of 11 straight set by TCU against Lamar on March 3, 1996.
“He told us not to get too big-headed, to continue to play defense and score the ball,” Jones said of her coach.
