Zoll may break record against Tigers

As senior point guard Sharneé Zoll approaches an ACC record for career assists, the Virginia women's basketball team returns home tonight for a conference matchup with Clemson at 7. The Cavaliers (19-7, 7-3 ACC) enter the contest standing fourth place in the league after their 62-53 triumph at Virginia Tech Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, the Tigers (10-15, 3-7 ACC) come to Charlottesville on a two-game losing skid after dropping games at North Carolina and against Duke at home, which Clemson lost by an average of 30.5 points. However, the game itself somewhat takes a backseat to Zoll, the team's captain.
