Cavs fall to Heels in first round of ACC tourney

By Becky Piedel | March 16, 2004

GREENSBORO, N.C. --Field goal percentage -- not the opposing team-- proved to be the greatest antagonist to the Virginia women's basketball team in the ACC Tournament, as the Cavaliers shot a dismal 21.7 percent from the field in their 64-45 season-ending loss to North Carolina last week in Greensboro, N.C. Virginia (13-16) displayed its poorest shooting performance of the season against the Tar Heels, converting on only 4-30 attempts in the first half for 13.3 percent. "We got really good shots, especially in the first half," Virginia coach Debbie Ryan said.
