GREENSBORO, N.C. - The NC Wesleyan College Women's Basketball team played a terrific game defensively en route to upsetting Division 1 UNC-Greensboro 52-37 on the road Monday night.

The Bishops were so impressive that they outrebounded the Spartans 64-42 and won 21-16 on the offensive glass led by 16 rebounds from forward Javana Jones.
