The North Carolina women’s basketball team easily handled Alabama A&M by a score of 80-35 behind strong performances from two backcourt standouts: sophomore guard Stephanie Watts and redshirt sophomore guard Paris Kea.
The Tar Heels (2-0) caught fire against the Lady Bulldogs (0-3) early, scoring 11 points in the first two minutes — with six coming from Watts or Kea. The scoring eventually slowed a bit, as the Tar Heels made only one of their last 10 field goals to end the quarter.
Shooting struggles continued for UNC in the second quarter, but the defensive effort remained strong, forcing 21 of Alabama A&M's eventual 35 turnovers in the first half.
