Survive and advance. That’s the mantra teams live by in postseason play and that’s exactly what the Ohio State women did against North Carolina in a second-round matchup in the NCAA Tournament on Monday.
The Buckeyes led for most of the game, but the Tar Heels were able to finally close the gap and take their first lead with a little over two minutes to play. The ending was a white-knuckler that Jacy Sheldon and Ohio State wrestled away from UNC with a 71-69 score.
