Posted Feb 20, 2025
Maria Gakdeng was nearly unstoppable when she got the basketball inside Thursday, and No. 9 North Carolina took advantage of that. The senior center produced her 10th career double-double and third this season with 21 points and 14 rebounds as the Tar Heels moved to 8-0 on the road for the third time in program history with a 68-58 win at Syracuse.
