Noel leads Heels in exhibition victory
Posted Nov 14, 2005
Catawba, a Division II school in Salisbury, scored the first six points of the contest and led 17-16 nearly eight minutes into the game. But the Tar Heels responded with a 14-2 run and led the rest of the way. "They came out and punched us right in the mouth," said UNC senior forward David Noel, a former Southern High star who scored a team-high 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting. "We had to back up a little bit, we stumbled, but we were ready to gather ourselves and come out with a victory. That's always big."
