NC State’s 10-0 start ties the second best ever start to a season
December 8, 2018
WASHINGTON – The 10th-ranked NC State women's basketball team (10-0) continued its perfect start to the 2018-19 season Saturday afternoon with a 76-65 win at Georgetown inside McDonough Arena.
NC State trailed by seven points (32-25) early in the second quarter but used a 16-2 run over the next 6:38 to take a 41-34 halftime lead. Georgetown scored six straight points to start the third quarter and pulled within one point (41-40) before the Wolfpack ripped off an 11-0 run to take a commanding 52-40 advantage with 4:15 remaining in the third stanza. Georgetown only pulled within single digits on one occasion throughout the rest of the afternoon, and NC State led by as many as 17 points twice in the fourth quarter before securing the 11-point victory.
Freshman center Elissa Cunane led all Wolfpack players with 23 points to match a career scoring high. She was joined in double figures by Kiara Leslie (18 points), Grace Hunter (13), and Aislinn Konig (12). Hunter pulled down 11 rebounds to record her fourth double-double of the season and was just two assists away from achieving just the third triple-double in program history. Senior DD Rogers pulled down a game and career high 20 rebounds in the win. This rebounding total ties for the fifth best single-game mark in program history.
Georgetown's Dionna White led all players with 25 points. She was joined in double figures by 18 from Dorothy Adomako and 16 from Mikayla Venson. Only four of the nine Hoyas to take the court scored points on Saturday.
Postgame Notes
-By herself, Rogers had only eight fewer rebounds than Georgetown's entire team.
-The Wolfpack out-rebounded the Hoyas 49-28.
-NC State's bench outscored Georgetown's bench 27-0.
-Hunter's eight assists were a career high.
-Saturday's win was NC State's 33rd true road victory since the beginning of the 2013-14 season.
-Konig went 4-12 from distance and has now made at least one three-pointer in 43 consecutive games.
NC State takes a break from competition for finals week and returns to action at home on Saturday, Dec. 15 when Maine comes to town. Tip-off from Kay Yow Court inside James T. Valvano Arena at Reynolds Coliseum is scheduled for 6 pm. The game will serve as NC State's annual Holiday Sweater Game, during which Wolfpack fans are encouraged to wear their favorite holiday attire.
