CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The Virginia women’s basketball team returns home to University Hall to host Old Dominion on Friday, Dec. 10 at 7 p.m.
The Cavaliers, under the guidance of head coach Debbie Ryan, stand 5-3 after Sunday’s 76-55 win over Northwestern to claim second place at the Mildred & Roger L. White Invitational. Senior Brandi Teamer leads the Cavaliers with 15.5 points per game while shooting 54 percent from the field. Senior LaTonya Blue follows with 10.4 ppg and 6.0 rpg., while senior Jocelyn Logan-Friend adds 9.4 ppg and a team-best 8.4 rebounds per game.
