Heels Host Mount Olive Exhibition Monday
November 8, 2015 | Women's Basketball
GoHeelsTV will provide coverage of the exhibition between the Tar Heels and Trojans.
Monday's exhibition might very well be the only one of its kind in college basketball this season, or ever for that matter. Spouses will be pitted against each other when Carolina's Billy Lee, the special assistant to head coach Sylvia Hatchell, will face his wife Wendy Lee, the Mount Olive head women's basketball coach.
Carolina opened up the 2015-16 campaign with a 59-48 victory over Wingate in an exhibition game last Wednesday night.
Destinee Walker's three-pointer with less than three minutes left in regulation gave Carolina some breathing room against a feisty Bulldog team coached by former Tar Heel assistant Ann Hancock.
Walker would make a steal and go in for two more points on the ensuing play to put UNC up 54-48 with 2:17 left. The Tar Heels finished the game on an 11-0 run.
Hillary Summers scored 15 points to lead Carolina, while Walker added 13 points in her collegiate debut. Jamie Cherry tossed in 10 points.
UNC opens the regular season on Friday, Nov. 13 against Gardner-Webb at 4 p.m. GoHeelsTV will again provide full coverage of the game.
