Watts, first-years break out in 115-51 exhibition win over Elizabeth City State

The North Carolina women’s basketball team has eight first-years who have only played two games together, but this squad is already making strides.

While the Tar Heels took time to establish a rhythm against Carson-Newman, UNC looked like an entirely different team against Elizabeth City State, cruising to a 115-51 victory.

The difference was clear when sophomore guard Stephanie Watts coasted down the court with a smile on her face. But it’s easy to smile after scoring 23 points in the first half.

“We all just really do have fun out there; it’s a big thing on our team,” Watts said.
