Lady Vols Rally Past UNC

Posted by vol.freak
April 2nd, 2007

As Candace Parker walked off the court on Sunday night, she looked to the large contingent of Tennessee fans in the arena and held up one finger. Not one finger, as in we are number one. Parker was referring to the one more win that the Lady Vols need to win the National Championship.

The Lady Vols were able to overcome a 12 point second half deficit to defeat #1 seed North Carlolina 56-50 and advance to the championship game to face #4 seed Rutgers on Tuesday night. It took a 20-2 run by Tennessee in the final 8:08 to finish the deal.

Candace Parker and Nicky Anosike each had 14 points on the night. Carolina All-American Ivory Latta finished with 13 points for the Tarheels but she was unable to knock down big shots down the stretch.

It will be the 12th appearance in the championship game for the Lady Vols but their first since 1998.

    Great comeback by the Lady Vols! I hate to admit that I fell asleep at halftime. I was elated to find out this morning that they had pulled it out!
