Coming off recent postseason success, the North Carolina women's basketball team enters a tough nonconference slate facing seven nonconference opponents including two Final Four squads.
Elina Aarnisalo, Nivar, and Brooks combined to make 14 baskets, while NCCU shot just 8 of 32 from the field, showing balanced scoring and poor shooting by the opponent.
Capitalizing on turnovers, the North Carolina women's basketball team converted 12 NCCU turnovers into 17 points and controlled the glass with a 48-20 rebounding advantage and a 12-0 fast-break edge.
The victory also extended North Carolina's streak to 8 straight season-opening wins, with Bill Belichick courtside in the first half, and Morgan Callahan limited to 6 points and 7 rebounds.
