On Sunday, N.C. State hit the hardwood for the first time without Kay Yow on the bench following Tuesday’s announcement that she would not return for the remainder of the season. The Wolfpack took the game down to the wire in regulation, fighting to earn an extra session, but a strong offensive effort by the Heels in overtime took out the Pack 75-66.The Wolfpack overcame a ten-point deficit in the first half and headed to the locker room down by six.State took Carolina by storm late in the second half, forcing the extra session at 59 points. But the depth from the UNC bench proved to be too much for the Pack as State  didn’t score in overtime until one minute remained.”We sent it to overtime, we had a chance to win it in regulation,” Glance said. “Just prior to the last shot, a couple of plays, a couple of missed box outs down the stretch.”Glance was optimistic about her team’s future and their performance. She said they wanted to put themselves in a position to win in Chapel Hill, and they did just that against the No. 2 team in the nation.”I’m really proud of the team,” Glance said. “I think they represented Coach Yow today in such a class way and with such a competitive spirit.”Exceeding many expectations in its ACC opener, the Pack set the bar high for the remainder of the season. Glance was pleased with their overall efforts on the court and are ready to dive into conference play.”If we produce in some of the categories like we did today – if we can do that consistently, then we’ll have our best shot in the ACC,” Glance said. “Even though we lost the game, it was a great way to start the ACC season.The team faced Carolina with the same level of grit and intensity of any other conference game, passing the “test” with flying colors.Freshman forward Bonae Holston led the team in scoring, racking up 19 points and attributed some of her efforts to the energy she had built up in preparing for the game.”I was just so ready to play and I just did the things I knew I could do and played hard,” Holston said. “With me being a freshman, you see the rivalries on television and you get really excited to play.”Senior guard Shayla Fields noted Holston will continue to play a major factor for team”She stepped up big for us today, she got big rebounds and scored good buckets on the open jump shot – I’m just proud of her performance in her first ACC game,” Fields said. “I wasn’t surprised at all because she does it every day in practice, so I was just waiting for her to step up and do it in a game.”Fields never left the court through 45 minutes of play, earning 10 points and 8 rebounds. In the second half, she got into foul trouble and remained on the tail end of the 1-3-1 zone defense that Glance ordered.”I got really passive with having four fouls, and I think my teammates helped a lot by getting out of the corners for me,” Fields said.Fields and her teammates agree that each game will remain an emotional, passionate fight in honor of Yow and that Yow would allow nothing short of that, regardless of who is coaching from the bench.”We know she’s watching or listening, so it makes us want to go out and fight,” Fields said. “We want her to watch a good game, we want her to watch us performing to the best of our abilities.”
