Over the weekend, redshirt sophomore Taylor Leath led her North Carolina team to its second victory over a nationally ranked Big Ten team.

In the match against Wisconsin, the Port Matilda, Pennsylvania, native put away a career-high 23 kills and 19 digs to help UNC take the win in five sets. Her third double-double also marked the most kills by a UNC player since 2011.

The next night, the Tar Heels took on Minnesota. Although they couldn't pull off another big upset, they pushed the No. 3 Gophers to four sets. Leath contributed 13 kills to the effort and hit .370.
