Inside game wins it for UNC women

Posted Mar 26, 2007

The UNC women played the last game of the NCAA round of 16 Sunday night. So they saw Duke and N.C. State falter and then watched their male counterparts exit the tournament. But the Tar Heels women play on. They used two of their best weapons -- stifling defense and rebounding -- to launch themselves over fifth-seeded George Washington 70-56 Sunday in the NCAA regional semifinals at Reunion Arena.
