The No. 6 North Carolina women’s basketball team, 9-1 on the season, makes its annual trip down to Myrtle Beach to take on a pair of foes at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.

First up, the Tar Heels will square off with the Maine Black Bear Bears, sporting a 7-3 record, Friday night at 7 p.m.

UNC will be hungry to wipe off the bitter taste of a 70-55 home defeat earlier this week to No. 16 Oregon State.

Sophomore guard Allisha Gray is averaging 20 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists over the last four games. She’s led the team in scoring six times and has scored in double figures in all but one contest this season.

Following Friday’s tilt, the Tar Heels will get a day of rest before facing a more local opponent , the 5-3 Elon Phoenix, Sunday at 3 p.m..

Both games will be broadcast on 97.9 FM, WCHL.
