CHAPEL HILL — Six North Carolina players scored in double figures as the No. 14 Tar Heels used a balanced attack in downing High Point University 103-71 on Saturday afternoon.
Xylina McDaniel led the Tar Heels with 16 points and eight rebounds, while Allisha Gray and Danielle Butts recorded 14 points each. High Point allowed North Carolina 39 attempts from the penalty stripe, making 28 of them.
North Carolina opened with a 47-28 lead at halftime and stretched that to a 32 point victory margin after holding High Point (5-6, 1-1 Big South) scoreless in the final three minutes of the game.
The Tar Heels (11-2) have scored 100-plus points in three of their last four games and will take a 12-day holiday break before playing James Madison on January 2.
