Erlana Larkins paces Heels women

Posted Dec 29, 2006

Erlana Larkins played like a woman without a care in the world, picking up a double-double by halftime. But after the No. 2 North Carolina women defeated Delaware State 87-40 on Thursday afternoon, Larkins broke down in tears. "I'll be glad to get back to school," said Larkins, who suffered the death of a close family friend this week. "I've got a few things going on right now and I just can't wait to be back with my teammates." (Raleigh News & Observer)
