The victory brought Carolina's record to 17-4 on the season. Earlier this year, Carolina dropped a 49-48 decision to State on the Chicks home court. Carolina shot poorly from the field throughout the game. The Chicks head coach Pam Backhaus said, "We played a super defensive game. We managed to make several steals which enabled us to start our fast break. The fast break is what won the game for us."
