La Crosse’s Donarski, No. 20 Tar Heels, look to beat third-consecutive ranked opponent
La Crosse native Lexi Donarski and the No. 20 North Carolina women’s basketball team look Thursday to beat their third consecutive ranked team and win their sixth in a row.
At 5 p.m., the Tar Heels (11-4) tip-off at No. 21 Florida State (12-4), after beating 25th-ranked Syracuse and No. 16 Notre Dame over the past week.
Donarksi played all 40 minutes in the win over the Irish, scoring 13.
After losing to No. 1 South Carolina, Donarski — over the past six games — is averaging 14.1 points, shooting 42.1% from beyond the arc, hitting 3.4 3-pointers a game.
She had a season-high 23, hitting 6 of 15 3-pointers in a win over Clemson on New Year’s Eve — both the second-best marks of her career.
The only loss in those six games came against No. 17 UConn.
