Cavaliers fall to Virginia Tech on late basket
By Ben Gibson | January 23, 2007By Ben Gibson Cavalier Daily Associate Editor The Virginia women's basketball team went 59:58 without trailing their state rival Virginia Tech. Unfortunately for Virginia, that was two seconds too short. Hokie guard Kirby Copeland drove to the basket in the waning seconds, missing a lay-up that a wide open Brittany Cook was able to corral and lay in with 1.4 seconds left, sealing the 60-58 heartbreaker. It was the Hokies' first and only lead of the game, and after sophomore Lyndra Littles attempted a miracle three after the buzzer sounded, the crowd of 4,132 could only watch in disbelief as the Cavaliers squandered a 14-point lead. "When the clock hit triple zeroes was the first time I thought we were going to lose the game," junior guard Sharnée Zoll said.
