By Jessica Garrison | February 2, 2001

RALEIGH, N.C.-After a heart-stopping double-overtime victory against Wake Forest Sunday with freshman Anna Prillaman taking charge at the point guard position, you would think the Cavaliers had all the consistency they needed to repeat their Jan.

Women's hoops struggles in frustrating loss to Wolfpack

By Paul Crane | February 2, 2001

RALEIGH, N.C.-"I thought we played the worst half of basketball we've played all year in the first half," Virginia women's basketball coach Debbie Ryan said.
