Feb 17, 2007 - 4:13 AM RALEIGH, North Carolina (Ticker) -- Coach Kay Yow had several reasons to come away smiling.Kiesha Brown scored 16 points and Marquetta Dickens added 15 and nine rebounds as North Carolina State posted a 72-65 triumph over No. 2 North Carolina in an Atlantic Coast Conference matchup.
