Women's
Basketball Routs Miami
by Anne Sexton
While the men's team has been roughing it in ACC play, the Lady Heels started
conference action Monday afternoon against Miami with their own little welcome
wagons. Point guard Ivory Latta and No. 20 Camille Little held the nation's leading
scorer Tamara James completely scoreless in the 1st half.
Latta controlled the offensive attack with 13 straight points and helped pull
the Heels ahead of the Canes 45-20 at halftime.
The second half was no different.
UNC's total domination of the ball kept Miami at bay, and the Heels stormed away
with an 83-52 win.
Latta said it was a total team effort that helped her score big in this 1st ACC
victory.
"All that goes to my teammates. They were just spotting me...that's
what they was telling me to spot up and they was doing a great job...wonderful
teammates I tell ya."
With 23 points against N.C. State on Friday and 15 against Miami on Monday, center
Erlana Larkins was named ACC rookie of the week for the second time this season.
Larkins' skills will come in handy in Thursday's match-up against FSU, which
has last week's rookie of the week, Roneeka Hodges, on the roster.
