Tar Heels' season comes to disheartening end after Maria Gakdeng’s injury, long scoring droughts

Posted Mar 28, 2025
Scoring droughts that had been too common all season and the inability to hit the defensive boards down the stretch meant a sudden end to the UNC Women's Basketball season and a frustrating, painful finish to senior center Maria Gakdeng’s college career. After UNC led by 11 points early, No. 2-seed Duke took control and eased to a 47–38 victory. (Tar Heel Tribune)
