HOW IT HAPPENED
Set 1 –BC got the upper hand to start, finding a slim 6-5 lead off of a three-point rally. UNC answered with four to take a 9-6 lead and force a timeout call from the Eagles. BC got two back but the Tar Heels added five of the next six to go up 14-9. The remainder of the set was evenly-matched, but a five-point run closed out the win for Carolina, 25-17.
Set 2 –The teams bounced to a 5-5 tie early on before trading points. A 7-1 rally for UNC brought the home team up 18-11, earning a lead which they would never give up. BC tallied five more points but UNC took the set on three straight points, 25-16.
Set 3 –Carolina had the clear advantage to begin, tallying eight of the opening 10 points. The Eagles bounced back, pushing within two points for a 9-7 score in favor of UNC. The Tar Heels added multiple three-point rallies and BC answered each time, but the initial lead was too much for the Eagles to diminish as UNC earned the sweep with a kill from Aristea Tontai, 25-20.
