Anya Poole embraces new reserve role, but two-year starter admits it was hard at first

It isn’t often that a two-year starting center enters her senior season and suddenly has to adjust to coming off of the bench. That became Anya Poole’s plight after North Carolina brought in junior transfer Maria Gakdeng from Boston College in the offseason. Gakdeng, a 6-foot-3 center, has started every game this season for the No. 23 Tar Heels. (Tar Heel Tribune)
