 DALLAS (AP) - LaToya Pringle's mom was counting the blocked shots, knowing her daughter needed three to becoming the single-season leader in North Carolina history. She had four by halftime. And the Tar Heels pretty much had their spot in the regional finals by then, too.
North Carolina went on a 22-5 surge while George Washington's defensive dynamo Whitney Allen was on the bench in foul trouble midway through the first half, then rode that lead to a 70-56 victory Sunday night in the semifinals of the Dallas Regional.
The top-seeded Tar Heels (33-3) led by 14 at halftime, just like they did at game's end. Fifth-seeded George Washington (28-4) scored the opening basket of the second half, but never got any closer, trailing by as many as 22.
