Atlanta, 65-42

Chapel Hill did a great job playing aggressive man defense and ran the court well to score easy buckets, according to head coach Linda Alston. All 10 players saw action and continue to improve defensively, she said, adding that offensively, the team is struggling from the line and putting in the easy shots.
The Lady Red Devils shot only 11 of 21 from the line and realize they must improve to win the close games, Alston said.
Shantell Davis led the team in scoring with 15, eight of those coming in the second quarter. Nena Millsap was close behind with 13 points (4 of 4 from the line). She was followed by Candice Collier (12), Alyssa Giddens (nine), Cassi Clower (eight), Katie Flinn (four), and Audrey Ward and Dayna Stanley (two each).
