Heels finally get win in Charlottesville

Posted Oct 17, 2010
After 29 years without a win in Charlottesville, it was beginning to look like it was more than ability that was preventing the Tar Heels from beating the Cavaliers on their home turf. That all changed Saturday, as Da'Norris Searcy and the rest of the defense recorded five interceptions and the offense had its best performance of the season to help UNC route Virginia 44-10 at Scott Stadium for the Tar Heels' first win in Charlottesville since 1981.
