The Virginia women's basketball team won its ninth straight game Monday evening, upsetting sixth-ranked N.C. State, 80-73, in Raleigh.
Telisha Quarles led the Cavs with 21 points, a new career high. The Cavaliers have not lost a game since Dec. 10, when Old Dominion defeated the Cavs, 86-65. The current run included another upset of then-No. 9 North Carolina Jan. 6.
Following that win, Cav Coach Debbie Ryan announced that Erin Stovall will not return to the team this season. Stovall left the team in December for personal reasons.
"Right now, it's in the team's best interest," Ryan said in an official press release. "I had to make a tough decision. I did not close the door completely, we will revisit this in the spring if she wants to."
