Virginia's guards expected to lead team to tournament

Last year, in her 30th season as head coach for Virginia's women's basketball team, coach Debbie Ryan led the Cavaliers to their 25th postseason appearance under her guidance, making the quarterfinals of the Women's National Invitation Tournament; however, the bar will be set higher this year, and an NCAA Tournament berth is expected. Ryan will look to her outstanding backcourt of senior point guard Sharneé Zoll and sophomore sensation Monica Wright to lead the team back to the Big Dance for the first time since 2005. Zoll, a co-captain for the Cavaliers, earned All-ACC honors her sophomore season but suffered from injuries during her junior campaign.
