Cavs falter late, lose to Pack

By Elizabeth Newell | February 16, 2004

The Virginia women's basketball team allowed a 12-point lead over N.C. State Sunday to cause Cavalier complacency, which, in turn, led to a 72-67 Wolfpack win at University Hall. Led by junior forwards Jocelyn Logan-Friend and LaTonya Blue, the Cavaliers went on a 16-2 run to go up by 12 points with 11 minutes to go in the second half.
