Depleted UNC Women's Basketball battles but runs out of gas at Duke

Posted Feb 28, 2025
No matter how many players are out, No. 8 UNC Women's Basketball keeps putting up a fight. Against No. 16 Duke, freshman Lanie Grant, in her first college start, did her best to make up for playing without Reniya Kelly and Alyssa Ustby as UNC led by one at halftime. But the Blue Devils pulled away for a 68-53 victory Thursday at Cameron Indoor Stadium. (Tar Heel Tribune)
