The Virginia’s women’s basketball team fell 103-74 to No. 2 North Carolina Friday night at Chapel Hill, N.C.
Junior guard Monica Wright led the then-No. 12 Cavaliers (14-3,1-1 ACC) in scoring with 24 points. Senior center Aisha Mohammed put up a double-double, scoring 13 points while senior guard Lyndra Littles contributed 21 points.
Despite Virginia’s best effort, North Carolina (17-0, 3-0 ACC) led the entire game as five Tar Heels scored in double digits, including senior forward Rashanda McCants, who led the group with 23 points. The Tar Heels made 19 of 20 free throws in the second half to ruin Virginia’s hopes of upsetting the preseason favorite to win the ACC.
Friday’s loss marked the end of Virginia’s eight-game winning streak, which included a perfect record in December. The Cavaliers resume play tomorrow at 7 p.m. with a game against rival Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va.
