Virginia turns over win to No. 7 Carolina

By Sean McLernon | January 31, 2003

Chapel Hill, N.C. -- No. 7 North Carolina is known for its defense, but it was Nikita Bell's early second-half offensive burst that put Virginia in a hole they were unable to climb out of. The six-foot forward scored six straight points to open second half play, helping ignite the struggling Tar Heel offense into shooting 50 percent from the field and nearly doubling its first half tally on the way to a 74-54 romp over the Cavaliers.

Turnovers, poor rebounding just won't cut it on road

By Jason Wise | January 31, 2003

Chapel Hill, N.C. -- The Tar Heels were the better team tonight. While North Carolina was calm, collected and businesslike, Virginia was sloppy, frantic and in shambles. It's not that the Cavaliers couldn't have won this game; it's not even that North Carolina was too deep, too strong or too athletic for Virginia to keep up.

Graham's valiant return finds perfection at the line

By Jason Wise | January 28, 2003

At five-foot-seven, Cherrise Graham certainly doesn't tower over her opponents on the court physically, but her numbers more than speak for her heart, talent and ability to overcome setbacks. One of the more telling and suspenseful statistics that Graham, a sophomore guard from Pennsylvania, boasts is the team record for consecutive free throws.

Second-half run sparks Cavalier win over Hoyas

By Sean McLernon | January 27, 2003

Georgetown Women's Basketball Coach Patrick Knapp's scream was loud enough for the entire U-Hall crowd to hear. With just over four minutes left in the game and the Cavaliers leading 59-49 thanks to a 21-10 run, the visibly frustrated Knapp called a timeout and yelled at his team to "get over here!" The Hoyas (11-5, 2-3 Big East) were unable to come back from the 10-point deficit and fell to the Cavaliers (8-10, 2-5 ACC), 69-57. Sophomore guard Cherrise Graham led the Cavaliers with 23 points, including 3-4 from behind the arc, and tied for the team high with six rebounds. The Cavaliers broke open this close contest in the second half when the pace of the game quickened. "We sped things up and used our athleticism a little better," Virgina Coach Debbie Ryan said.

Virginia finds a Mapp for success

By J.D. Moss | January 27, 2003

There's no place quite like home. Returning to the friendly confines of University Hall, Virginia (11-6, 2-3 ACC) used a balanced scoring attack to snap a three-game skid and upset 17th-ranked Wake Forest (12-2, 2-2 ACC) Thursday night, 85-75. The Cavaliers trailed for much of the first half, but junior guard Majestic Mapp came off the bench to give Virginia an emotional lift, as he logged his first significant minutes of the season. Virginia trailed by seven when Mapp entered the game with 6 minutes and 43 seconds left in the first half, but Mapp immediately hit a three-pointer and helped steady the Cavaliers. "We needed" Mapp, Virginia coach Pete Gillen said.
