Tar Heel women rally to top Duke

Posted Feb 10, 2009
A gritty, some times ugly, come-from-behind, upset victory over No. 4 Duke on Monday night prompted UNC women’s basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell to take the microphone at the conclusion of the game and address the crowd. “I’m sorry for the first 17 minutes of the game. The last 23 was with a lot of heart.” Heart, possibly, but certainly improved shooting. The Tar Heels shot 64 percent in the second half to take a 75-60 victory over the Devils (Raleigh News & Observer)
