Davidson took an early 3-2 lead in the first game of the North Carolina volleyball team's match Tuesday in Carmichael Auditorium.
It was the last advantage the Wildcats would see.
The Tar Heels came out all smiles as they pounded the Wildcats, taking the match 30-21, 30-17, 30-16.
"I thought that we weren't very well disciplined early," said Coach Joe Sagula. "We came into this match with the goal of learning something about ourselves, and we were pretty sloppy."
UNC (13-11) traded points with the Wildcats (9-18) in the first game, and Davidson came to within one point at 18-17.
But after a quick timeout, the Tar Heels outscored the Wildcats 12-4 to close the first game.
The Tar Heels then knocked the wind out of Davidson early in the second game, winning 10 straight points, half of which were kills by Dani Nyenhuis.
The team did more of the same in the third game to close out the match.
"The third game was better," Sagula said. "We did enjoy the game, and I thought we made some better plays. Our blockers did better for the first two games and our middles were very slow to close the block on the left."
