The return to Carmichael
finally arrives! The UNC Women’s Basketball team will face Kennesaw
State for the first game back in Carmichael Auditorium. As a member of
the Atlantic Sun Conference, the Owls have earned 4 wins and 5 loses on
the season so far including loses hosting Clemson and Georgia Tech. Our
upperclassmen are looking forward to returning home but over half the
team has never played in Carmichael. Let’s show this team how much fun
it is to have a LOUD CROWD! |

UNC outlasts a persistent South Carolina 93-85
The
Tar Heels may have started on a run but former ACC star and current USC
Coach Dawn Staley has given her team the gift of persistence and
intensity. The Tar Heels played an excellent first 15 minutes and then
saw an 18 point lead wilt into only a 5 point half time lead. South
Carolina continued their momentum in the second half, scaring the UNC
fans with a 6 point SC lead before the Tar Heels showed some fight and
provided an entertaining and exciting end to the game – Tar Heel style.

more from UNCAA
