Defense carries UNC Women's Basketball through slugfest for sixth straight win

Posted Feb 5, 2026
Courtney Banghart has never dealt with a loss to Clemson, but the latest victory over the Tigers was anything but easy. No. 25 UNC leaned on another sterling defensive performance to overcome intermittent offensive sloppiness. The Tar Heels rode a third-quarter scoring surge and held on for a less-than-artistic 53-44 victory Thursday at Carmichael Arena. (Tar Heel Tribune)
