The No. 18 North Carolina women's basketball team secured a convincing 93-74 win over Charleston Southern on Sunday. Nyla Brooks made a significant impact off the bench, scoring 19 points and contributing to the Tar Heels' dominant performance. North Carolina took a 25-point lead at halftime and maintained control despite Charleston Southern's hot three-point shooting. The Tar Heels' strong rebounding and field goal percentages were key factors in their victory, finishing with a 46-21 advantage on the boards and shooting 49% from the field. Charleston Southern's Tyonna Bailey led the Buccaneers with 31 points, but the team struggled to generate stops down the stretch. In the fourth quarter, North Carolina answered Charleston Southern's surge with an 11-3 run, led by Elina Aarnisalo's six points. The Tar Heels closed the game by scoring 15 of the final 23 points, including two late three-pointers from Brooks. Aarnisalo finished with 16 points, while Indya Nivar added 14 points and six assists. North Carolina will look to continue their momentum in their next game against Boston College on December 29. Charleston Southern will face Georgia in Athens on the same day.
