Freshman Kate Harpring showed out in her first official home game, scoring 10 points on a perfect 4-for-4 shooting performance in the first quarter. The Tar Heels led 30-11 after 10 minutes and 54-15 at halftime, holding the Eagles to just four total points and one made shot in the second quarter. Nine different Tar Heels scored in the first half, with Harpring still leading the way at 14 points.
UNC ended the game shooting 40-f0r-72 (55.6%), making nearly as many shots as it did in the first two games of the season combined (44). Harpring, who finished with 16 points, was one of five different Tar Heels to reach double figures, alongside Nyla Brooks (17), Achol Akot (15), Sophie Burrows (13) and Blanca Thomas (12). Every Tar Heel but one to play in Wednesday’s game scored at least one point.
Wednesday’s win was also the first time UNC had scored at least 100 points since it scored 119 early in the 2024-25 season — also against North Carolina Central. Its final shooting percentage of 55.6 was its highest since Feb. 12, 2026 against SMU, a span of 13 games.
The game was UNC’s only official contest at home in the season’s first three weeks, as the Tar Heels will hit the road again this weekend when they visit Penn at the historic Palestra in Philadelphia Saturday, Nov. 14 at 4 p.m.
