Slow Start Dooms WBB At No. 8 Virginia Tech – University of North Carolina Athletics
North Carolina fell to 18-10 overall and 10-6 in Atlantic Coast Conference play with the loss, which ended a three-game winning streak. Virginia Tech improved to 23-4 (14-2) and locked up the No. 1 seed in this year’s ACC Tournament.
Elizabeth Kitley, one of four players celebrated in Senior Day ceremonies before the game, led all scorers with 34 points, including 12-14 shooting from the foul line. Georgia Amoore, another senior honoree, scored 19 points and handed out 11 assists.
Senior Deja Kelly led the Tar Heels with a season-high 29 points and hit nine of her 10 free throw attempts in playing all 40 minutes. Lexi Donarski was the only other Tar Heel in double figures with 10 points.
UNC scored first on a three by Donarski just under two minutes into the game. The Hokies scored the next 11 in a row then after a jumper by Kelly added 10 more for a 21-5 lead at the end of the first quarter. The five points marked a season low for UNC in a quarter and the Tar Heels’ 15.4 shooting (2-13) was also a season-low percentage for a quarter.
Carolina clawed back in the second quarter, outscoring the home team 22-12 to pull within six at halftime. The exclamation point on the Tar Heels’ run was a close-to-midcourt three from Kelly to beat the second-quarter buzzer and send UNC into halftime with momentum.

Less than a minute into the third quarter, Donarski hit her second three of the game to cut the margin to five at 35-30. That was the closest the Tar Heels ever got, but UNC was still within seven in the final seconds of the period before an Amoore three-pointer with four seconds on the clock gave Virginia Tech a 10-point lead heading into the fourth. That three bumped Amoore’s total to 14 in the period.
UNC never got within single digits again. After hitting better than 50 percent of its shots in each of the past two games, Carolina finished at 39 percent (23-59) on Sunday. Virginia Tech, on the other hand, shot 52.9 from the field, the best percentage by a Carolina opponent this season.
For the second game in a row, the Tar Heels turned the ball over just seven times, one shy of the team’s season low.
Next up for UNC is another road game, this one at Boston College on Thursday. After that the Tar Heels have just one game left, at home next Sunday against Duke for Senior Day.

Two dead after I-495 road rage incident leads to stabbing, Virginia State Police shooting – WTOP News
A road rage incident led to a shooting involving the Virginia State Police on Sunday on Interstate 495. Four individuals were also stabbed.
Two people are dead Sunday in Annandale, Virginia, after a road rage incident led to a shooting involving Virginia State Police on Interstate 495.
A release issued by the Virginia State Police said a trooper fatally shot a man after responding to a report of a road rage incident on the southbound lanes of I-495 just before 1:30 p.m. at exit 52, near the Little River Turnpike.
The man, transferred to a hospital with serious injuries, has been pronounced dead. VSP said the trooper shot in self-defense after the man confronted him with a knife.
The trooper did not suffer any injuries during the altercation.
Officials found four stabbing victims at the scene, but only identified a 39-year-old woman and a dog. Both the woman and the dog died.
Early findings suggest the stabbings took place after a crash on the Capital Beltway. The crash remains under investigation.
The VSP’s release comes after the main lanes of the Capital Beltway Outer Loop, before Little River Turnpike, were closed to traffic for several hours, only recently opening the express lanes. Main lanes between Arlington Boulevard and the Little River Turnpike remain closed.
