CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Freshman Ivory Latta scored 16 points, and No. 16 North Carolina made 10 of it first 13 shots in a 94-40 victory Saturday night over winless Wofford at Carmichael Auditorium.

Junior Jennifer Nelms, a track All-America at UNC who joined the basketball team in the fall, had career bests of 14 points and seven rebounds in her first start for the Tar Heels (7-1).

Junior guard Brie Bradshaw led Wofford (0-7) with 14 points.
