In a battle of the two remaining unbeaten teams in women’s college basketball, North Carolina raced back from a 13-point halftime deficit and defeated Duke, 74-70, Sunday night in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Six days after thumping then-undefeated and No. 1 Tennessee, the Blue Devils (20-1) looked to be on UNC 74 pace to do the DUKE 70 same to the Tar Heels (20-0). But Duke could not stop North Carolina for the fourth consecutive time the rivals have met. North Carolina scored on 14 ofits final 16 possessions, erasing what was still a 12point Duke lead with just over nine minutes to play. The Tar Heels outscored the Blue Devils 28-12 over that decisive period. “Our backs were against the wall and we had to produce,” North Carolina head coach Sylvia Hatchell said. “We’d been holding out until we had to turn it on, and we turned it on at the end.” Two made free throws by Erlana Larkins with three minutes to play gave UNC its first lead of the game—one it would not relinquish—at 66-64. Reserve guard Alex Miller followed on the next possession by beating Duke guard Abby Waner off the dribble and finishing with a layup to push North Carolina’s lead to four. After a turnover by each team, senior Monique Currie drilled a step-back threepointer to close the margin to just one with a minute and a half to go. But that was as SEE W. BBALL ON SW PAGE 5

Undergraduates who trade in their old University-supplied iPods for newer models can rest assured knowing their retired iPods will be used to support other students’ technological needs. “They go into a loaner pool,” said David Menzies, manager of news and information for the Office of Information Technology. “For example, when a student sends in their iPod to Apple for repair, we give them >aners to use.” In 2004, the Uni,rsity provided ee fourth-generam audio iPods to ie Class of 2008 as irt of the Duke

University decided to continue distributing iPods on a course-specific basis, allowing more students to benefit from the use of the technology. OIT plans to give 1,100 iPods to students enrolled in the 42 classes requiring iPods this semester. Of those devices, roughly 60 percent are fourth-generation photo iPods, and 40 percent are fifth-generation video iPods. Both models are among the latest in iPod innovations. By 5 p.m. last Friday, OIT had provided 750 students with new iPods—approximately 40 of which were the result of a trade-in for an upgraded model. “I believe the trade-ins help expand the initiative and are a good use of an available resource,” said Vernon Thornton, manager of OlT’s help desk.
