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.

"After that timeout it just felt like they had the momentum and they hadn't even done anything to get it," senior guard Anna Prillaman said.
