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.

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.
