CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The North Carolina women's basketball team bounced back from its first loss of the season in a big way, beating Virginia Tech 71-46 to hand the Hokies their first Atlantic Coast Conference loss of the season.
No. 19 UNC improved to 14-1 overall and 4-1 in ACC play. Virginia Tech fell to 11-4 (3-1).
Four Tar Heels scored in double figures, led by junior Eva Hodgson, who came off the bench for a season-high 19 points including 4-5 three-point shooting. Sophomore guard Deja Kelly scored 15 points, which was not unusual for her, and added a team-high 10 rebounds, which certainly was.
