UNC Women's Basketball Falls To Virginia On Senior Day

Posted Mar 2, 2025
While two of No. 8 UNC’s best players watched from the bench, the short-handed Tar Heels leaned on their depth and Maria Gakdeng. Even with a career day from the senior center, it wasn’t enough to pull out a senior day victory Sunday as UNC blew an eight-point lead in the last 5:22 and lost 78-75 to a scrappy Virginia team at Carmichael Arena.
