RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Amber White scored 23 points to help North Carolina State beat No. 13 North Carolina 88-72 on Monday night.
Bonae Holston added 13 points and 16 rebounds as the Wolfpack (12-15, 3-9 Atlantic Coast Conference) finally broke through for a big victory after a series of crushing home losses this season. It was N.C. State’s second straight win overall — and the second straight year the Wolfpack split the season series with its nearby rival after losing 19 of the previous 22 meetings.
It was a strong bounceback performance for White and Brittany Strachan, who combined to shoot 2 for 23 in last month’s 83-76 loss in Chapel Hill. White went 7 for 13 and had six assists, while Strachan had 13 points and hit three 3-pointers.
She’la White scored a career-high 20 points to lead the Tar Heels (22-5, 8-4), who have lost two straight.
