The hosts only led once on Sunday afternoon, taking an early 8-7 lead on a three-pointer by Tyra Moe with 6:47 remaining in the first quarter. NC State responded immediately, using an 11-0 run over the next 3:35 to take an 18-8 advantage, a lead that the team would not relinquish for the rest of the game.
