Seniors end tumultuous regular season with a bang

By Jessica Garrison | February 26, 2001

This season has been quite a ride for the seniors on Debbie Ryan's team, but they ended the regular season roller coaster ride with a win last night. Ryan's starting lineup consisted of five seniors: Katie Tracy, Chalois Lias, Elena Kravchenko, Svetlana Volnaya and Dean'na Mitchelson, an unusual lineup that held its own against a strong Florida State opening. Tracy, a two-sport athlete, played at the Cavaliers' problem spot - point guard - and brought maturity to a position otherwise filled by freshmen Anna Prillaman and Chelsea Whitaker.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... Adam Hall? So he might not be Superman, but the Virginia men's basketball junior guard is as close as you can humanly get.

Hooville: the good, the bad and the smelly

By Jed Williams | February 20, 2001

In years gone by, Roger Mason's three-point dagger to seal a precious, if unspectacular, road triumph at Florida State likely would have spawned one of the following bow-tied, beer-swilling Cavalier responses: "Hooray for us ... So, does Chi Phi have something tonight?" Or, "Yay, we won ... Did Clemons extend its hours of operation to accommodate students who wished to partake of a little Saturday afternoon basketball over cell biology?" Or perhaps, "Is Roger Mason that cute red-headed Hullabahoo you were giving the eye at our semi-formal last weekend?" Now Virginia zealots sing a different tune - one with a melody that was distinctly audible the second Mason's bomb detonated in the bottom of the net: "Let's go tenting." Tenting?

LaRue carries poor-shooting Cavs to victory

By Johnny Schwab | February 20, 2001

It was perfectly fitting for the Virginia women's basketball team that sophomore center Schuye LaRue had one of her best games of the season and carried the Cavaliers on the same night that she scored the 1,000th point of her career. LaRue scored a career-high 33 points on 15-for-21 shooting and grabbed 18 rebounds as Virginia escaped with a victory against Hampton last night at University Hall. "Schuye had a great game, and if it weren't for her in the first half, I don't know where we would have been," Virginia coach Debbie Ryan said. LaRue, who now has 1,005 career points, became the 18th Cavalier to surpass the 1,000-point barrier.

Cavaliers torpedo Lady Pirate attack

By Joe Abrams | February 20, 2001

You could call last night's game exciting. You could call it nerve-wracking. The Virginia women's basketball team would call it too close for comfort. The Cavaliers (17-11, 7-7 ACC) eked out a 75-72 victory against a surprisingly tough Hampton squad last night at University Hall.
