Virginia's ACC struggles continue
 
  RECAP | BOX SCORE

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) -- Nikki Teasley had 17 points and North Carolina added to Virginia's Atlantic Coast Conference tournament woes with a 67-63 victory over the Cavaliers (No. 17 ESPN/USA Today, No. 16 AP) in Sunday's semifinals.

Nikki Teasley
UNC's Nikki Teasley was in good spirits all day -- and that was bad news for UVA.
Teasley, picking up the slack on a day when top scorer and rebounder LaQuanda Barksdale got into early foul trouble, added eight rebounds and seven assists as the Tar Heels (18-11) won their sixth consecutive game.

Barksdale, who scored 15 of her 17 points in the second half, put the Tar Heels ahead to stay on a short jumper in the lane with 52 seconds left.

North Carolina, the No. 5 seed, advanced to the ACC title game for the sixth time in seven years. The Tar Heels will be shooting for their fifth championship in that span and their sixth overall.

Top-seeded Virginia (23-8) fell to 2-7 in the ACC tournament against North Carolina, including losses in their last four meetings.

Freshman Schuye LaRue had 20 points, but it wasn't enough to put the Cavaliers in the title game for the first time since 1994.

Svetlana Volnaya added 15 points for Virginia and Renee Robinson had 17, including a 3-pointer that made it 63-all with 73 seconds left.

After Barksdale's decisive jumper in the lane, she sealed it with a pair of foul shots with 16 seconds left.
