The North Carolina women’s basketball team has climbed up five spots in the latest Associated Presses Top 25 poll.
UNC ranks 17th in this week’s AP Poll, a significant jump after a week of notable wins. North Carolina is riding a three-game win streak, knocking off ranked teams Notre Dame and NC State in that span.
The biggest key to success for UNC during the streak has been their depth, with a different player having a breakout performance each night. Paulina Paris dropped her season high 16-points in the win over Notre Dame and Kennedy Todd-Williams’s 15-points led the Tar Heels past NC State.

North Carolina’s path continues with another significant challenge affecting the following week’s rankings. They host ACC first-place leader No. 13 Duke on Tuesday, January 19th.
A win would give UNC a major boost in the rankings, and with some easier opponents on the horizon, their win streak could reach double digits before another notable challenge.
