Alyssa Ustby's historic triple-double

Trivia question: How many UNC women's basketball players have recorded a triple-double?

The answer is one, and her name is Alyssa Ustby.

On January 4, Ustby made program history by putting together a triple-double performance. She became the third Tar Heel ever to accomplish the feat, showing just how difficult this type of milestone is to reach.

Ustby finished the contest with 16 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists in the UNC women's basketball program's victory over Syracuse.

What makes it even more impressive is that it only took her three quarters to accomplish!
