Nivar secures 2nd triple-double in program history and No. 12 UNC women top South Dakota State 83-48

Indya Nivar recorded 13 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 steals, marking only the second triple-double in UNC program history during their 83-48 win in the Cancun Challenge opener.

  • Recently in Cancun, North Carolina beat South Dakota State to start the Cancun Challenge as Indya Nivar recorded a second program triple-double.
  • After an early 9-0 burst, North Carolina women's basketball team led 41-23 at halftime as South Dakota State Jackrabbits made only 2 of 19 three-point attempts on Thursday.
  • Elina Aarnisalo and freshman Nyla Brooks each scored in double figures, with Brooks coming off a career-high 18 and ACC freshman honors, while reserve Nyla Harris provided bench scoring in nine minutes.
  • As a result, North Carolina will continue Cancun Challenge play against Kansas State on Friday and Columbia on Saturday.
  • Despite preseason expectations, South Dakota State Jackrabbits struggled from deep, though Brooklyn Meyer, South Dakota State player, scored in double figures.
