The Sooners started the second half with three straight baskets, two by Caufield, to open up a 51-37 lead.
The Tar Heels moved within 53-46 on a jumper by Coretta Brown with 14:50 to play, but got no closer.
LaQuanda Barksdale led North Carolina (10-7) with 18 points and 14 rebounds for her 30th career double-double. She was held to a single basket in the second half's first 10:27.
