Greensboro, nc (reaacc.com) -North Carolina reached the quarter-finals of the Ally Acc-Women’s Basketball tournament 2025 for the third time in four years with the 78-71 victory on Thursday against the Boston College of the 12th Samens on the first Horizon Coliseum on Thursday.

Nobody could accuse the Tar Heels with fifth seeds to do it in a simple way.

North Carolina was 63: 54 with a little more than seven minutes before playing and grouped with a 19:3 run to put away the resilient Eagles, who had overcome a 19-point deficit against Syracuse on Wednesday and fought back on Thursday after he fell back around 11: 0 in the first three minutes.

No. 14 North Carolina (26-6) will face State No. 4 and No. 22 in Florida State (23-7) in the quarter-final game on Friday on Friday. The State of Florida displaced the Tar Heels 86-84 between the teams in Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill.

Lexi Donarski led all the scorers with 20 points on Thursday, including an important 3 pointer, which North Carolina made with 1:44 with 73-66 to play. Indya Nivar added 15 points and five templates for the Tar Heels.

Alyssa UStby, who returned from an injury that had excluded her since February 16, added 11 points and contributed strongly to a rejuvenated defense effort in North Carolina, which the Eagles was bothering in seven mistakes during the decisive four -party run.

Before he got cold towards the end, the accuracy of the Boston College from beyond the arch had the eagles on the edge of a surprise. The Boston College (16-17) joined the 3-point area for the season with the 12th-to-26 value of 31 percent, including a flood of four times in a row, which produced the late nine-point lead.

The 12 from Boston College made 3 hands with a high season. Freshman Tatum Greene, the daughter of the former Tar Heel-in-front Chanel Wright-Greene, scored with a 4: 5 shot of three career heights of 18 points. Senior Kaylah Ivey went 5-to-10 from the bonus range.

North Carolina improved in the ACC tournament to 65-38 ever, 5-4 in games of the second round and 37-21 in Greensboro.
