ATLANTA (AP) -- Number-3 North Carolina coasted to a 75-to-61
victory Sunday afternoon over Georgia Tech, thanks to the shooting
of Rashanda McCants, who had 19 points, and Erlana Larkins, who had
18.
The Tar Heels remained undefeated in Atlantic Coast Conference
play, improving to a 9-and-0 A-C-C record, and 22-and-2 overall.
They extended their winning streak against the Yellow Jackets to
12 games, dating back to 2002. And after losing at Number-1
Connecticut last month, they have won five in a row.
North Carolina was sloppy with the ball at times, committing 27
turnovers. But with just five regular-season games remaining, the
Tar Heels played well enough to keep building momentum as they set
their sights on March.
Georgia Tech lost for the third time in five games and for the
fifth time in five tries against ranked opponents this season. Thir
record is 5-and-5 in the A-C-C, and 18-and-6 overall.
