With one game left in conference play, the Virginia women's basketball team's roller coaster season experienced another low at Cameron Indoor Stadium last night.
Virginia lost, 76-53, to Duke (24-3, 12-3 ACC) and remains in fifth place in the ACC.
In Blue Devil coach Gail Goestenkors' 200th career victory, Georgia Schweitzer led No. 7 Duke with 19 points and seven rebounds. Blue Devil point guard Sheana Mosch contributed 17 points.
The Cavaliers (17-12, 7-8) shot just 29.8 percent from the field and were out-rebounded, 38-30. Virginia was only 2-for-14 from behind the arc.
Cavalier forward Schuye LaRue was once again the lone bright star for Virginia. She scored 16 points and grabbed 18 rebounds, but also had nine turnovers.
The Cavaliers fell to Duke, 71-68, at University Hall on Jan. 22.
Virginia's final regular season game will be at home against Florida State Sunday at 7 p.m.
