Virginia loses fourth straight game

By Ben Gibson | January 29, 2007

The Virginia women's basketball team entered this week with aspirations of cementing their place in the ACC. Unfortunately, after four straight losses, that place may be in the cellar. The Seminoles added to the Cavalier misery Sunday afternoon as Florida State handed Virginia a demoralizing 63-47 loss to move the Cavaliers to 12-9, 2-5 in the ACC. The game followed a familiar script: For the third straight game, Virginia led at the half -- this time despite an awful shooting performance during the first 20 minutes.

Cavaliers fall to Virginia Tech on late basket

By Ben Gibson | January 23, 2007

By Ben Gibson Cavalier Daily Associate Editor The Virginia women's basketball team went 59:58 without trailing their state rival Virginia Tech. Unfortunately for Virginia, that was two seconds too short. Hokie guard Kirby Copeland drove to the basket in the waning seconds, missing a lay-up that a wide open Brittany Cook was able to corral and lay in with 1.4 seconds left, sealing the 60-58 heartbreaker. It was the Hokies' first and only lead of the game, and after sophomore Lyndra Littles attempted a miracle three after the buzzer sounded, the crowd of 4,132 could only watch in disbelief as the Cavaliers squandered a 14-point lead. "When the clock hit triple zeroes was the first time I thought we were going to lose the game," junior guard Sharnée Zoll said.
