Alyssa Utsby makes UNC Women’s basketball history
Alyssa Ustby is having a big week. And on Thursday, she put her name into the North Carolina Tar Heels’ women’s basketball history books.
Ustby finished with 16 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists to record the first triple-double in program history as the Tar Heel beat No. 25 Syracuse in Carmichael Arena. The performance comes after she earned some national honors for her play last week.
Not only did she make UNC history but she also became the first player in women’s college basketball history to record 15+ points, 15+ rebounds and 10+ assists against a ranked opponent. WOW!
She does it all 🤩

The Tar Heels really needed a big win on Thursday night, hosting a ranked ACC opponent and Utsby helped deliver the double-digit win.
This is not only something she can build on but the program as well as they go full steam into ACC play.
