UNC women clean up in ﬁnal game

North Carolina’s 88-66 win against North Carolina Central went so well that even assistant coach Andrew Calder was seen smiling.

Calder, the usually irascible sidekick to head coach Sylvia Hatchell, would probably not admit it, but he was caught enjoying a laugh with a referee with about 40 seconds left in the game.

With UNC in the midst of playing their most well-rounded game in weeks, it is hard to hold it against him.

What is delayed is not denied.

It’s a simple phrase, but one that resonates deeply with both Jessica Breland and Sylvia Hatchell.

Tar Heels take rubber match versus Maine

As the North Carolina bats went this weekend against the Maine Black Bears, so went the No. 11 Tar Heels.

In two out of the three games, the Tar Heels (6-1) scored eight or more runs, and in those two, they won.

UNC handles UNC-G on strength of its arms

North Carolina jumped on UNC-Greensboro early and never let up, taking a 12-2 win on Tuesday — but it still was not good enough for head coach Mike Fox.

Despite 12 runs on 16 hits, Fox wanted more.

All weekend North Carolina relied on timely hits in its sweep of George Washington, and all weekend Mike Cavasinni delivered.

The fifth-year senior went 4-for-13 on the weekend. While getting four hits in a three-game weekend series is not blazing, he got hits when it mattered. Cavasinni singled three times with two outs in or after the seventh inning.

UVa.'s Wright pours in 33 against Tar Heels

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Awaiting a pass from Ariana Moorer in the first overtime, Virginia’s Monica Wright looked ready to put the finishing touches on a sterling performance against North Carolina.

UNC track seeks conference title

Track and field is a sport of repetition.

Athletes run the same distances, throw the same weights and engage in the same rituals week after week.

But make no mistake, the North Carolina track and field team is not comfortable settling for a repeat performance of their 2009 season.

DURHAM — One frustration-filled possession doubled as the story of the game.

After North Carolina seemed to have finally grabbed some momentum, No. 8 Duke grabbed three offensive rebounds and nailed a 3-pointer to squelch the last hopes the No. 18 Tar Heels had of getting back into the game.

UVa. sophomore Landesberg schools Tar Heels

Will Graves tried. John Henson tried. Leslie McDonald tried. And finally, Marcus Ginyard tried.

None of them could shut down Virginia’s Sylven Landesberg.

The sophomore led Uva. in scoring for the 13th game this season, notching 29 points for the Cavaliers — eclipsing his previous season high of 23 set in games against N.C. State and Longwood.

Rolle helps women secure win against State

RALEIGH — Chay Shegog was little more than a bystander in Monday’s game against N.C. State.

After picking up her fourth foul shortly after halftime with UNC down seven, she sat with a towel draped over her shoulders — even taking part in a “Tar … Heels” chant after a timeout.

It seemed that North Carolina would be forced to go the rest of the way without any interior presence.
