holston can't get it to go. but she'll get a trip to the free-throw line as garcia picked up her second foul. >> bonae holston returning as the nc state player of the year last year. she did her job on the floor. but also in the classroom and i think if nc state can establish her, on that possession, wake laid off a little bit, they got the inside look. i think holston's the answer to put some points on the board for nc state. >> she's averaging 11.7. 6.5 on the boards. just about an assist a game. from the free-throw line, she's a 75% shooter. >> holston, another player who likes to set her game up in acc conference play. last year, she had five double-doubles in the season, all of them in conference play. >> that's not a bad time to get things rolling. the first free throw for the wolfpack in this game. it was good. >> wake forest has got to close the gap on rebounding. they are taken a hit there and nc state's getting second and third-chance opportunities. there's your girl, holston, didn't get a second free

holston had it on her fingertips. gets it back to wake forest. >> running the show, really makes wake forest have to guard her, opens up shots. >> speaking of knocking down shots, courteney morris from downtown, gets her fifth point of the ball game. >> you can see gartrell trying to get the post-up. she has brooke thomas inside. >> you can tell she wanted the ball. allow the double team to come over. kastanek tried to get it to fall, she couldn't. >> that was a great play by nc state. you can't ask for a better look for that by kastanek, wide open, holston had the look at the top of the key but a great pass. >> walker put that ball on the floor before she got it up to the hoop. and white comes down to the other end and gets the basket. we've got a one-point ball game as amber white goes to the hole for her eighth point of this contest. >> and with nikitta gartrell, assuming the point guard position for nc state here in the second half, that leads white open to score. and you can see her coming down here. makes the mo

good rebound, though, inside by bonae holston, her first points.r who was the acc sixth player of the year a year ago and has done a nice job stepping into a starting role. waters on the other end, she found out that the bank is open early tonight. >> and waters was hoping it's that kind of night for her. she fouled with ten minutes left to go in that tough game down at georgia tech. it made a difference in her team's energy. they play well when she plays well and vice versa. >> gartrell, a nice look inside. good passing by the wolfpack as lucy ellison the senior, gets on the scoreboard. >> courteney morris making her second straight start as we mentioned. earning the starting nod as the shot clock runs down. thomas has to do something quick. she kicks it to morris. that's too short. waters had her hand on it but couldn't hold on. this is good defense. and the easy points there. as waters steps in to take to advantage of the good hands by her point guard. >> brooke thomas. >> i don't think she minds that last one becoming a dead ball. she'll sweat
