A little Paige, a lot of toughness help Tar Heels write a new, happy ending

Posted Jan 11, 2015
Despite being hobbled by a painful case plantar fasciitis that was compounded by a rolled ankle on the same foot midway through the second half, Paige managed to slice through the Cardinals’ defense and make a difficult scoop off the glass for the decisive points in a 72-71 UNC victory. The win was a significant one for the Tar Heels. (Wilmington Star News)
