UNC Women's Basketball overcomes turnovers, poor shooting to knock off Virginia, 61-52

Posted Jan 20, 2022
With six ranked ACC teams, there aren’t many nights when you can turn the ball over too many times, shoot poorly, give up too many offensive rebounds and still win. Virginia offered that rare night, and No. 20 UNC did all four in a 61-52 victory Thursday at Carmichael Arena. The Cavaliers didn’t make it easy, though, coming within seven points late.
