  • Junior guard Jocelyn Willoughby (East Orange, N.J.) has led the team in rebounding or shared the team lead in rebounding in five of the last six games

Willoughby took a season-low four shots against Louisville after putting up double-digit attempts in each of the last fifteen games
  • Senior forward Mone Jones (Durham, N.C.) has shot 50 percent or better from the field in three of the last five games, including going 3-of-6 against Louisville
  • Junior forward Lisa Jablonowski (Ernster, Luxembourg) had a career-high four steals against Louisville. Jablonowski has grabbed two or more steals in the last six games
  • The Cavaliers erased a 19-point deficit to come back and defeat Virginia Tech, 62-58, on Jan. 10. Only two teams this season have erased larger deficits to come back and win a game: Iowa was down 24 points against West Virginia on Nov. 23 and Tennessee trailed Stetson by 20 on Dec. 5
  • Virginia’s comeback against Virginia Tech was the second time this season the Cavaliers erased a 15-point deficit to win, having trailed by that many against South Florida. UVA is the only team in the country this season to have twice come back to win when trailing by 15 or more points
  • Aiyeotan has 140 blocked shots in her career. She passed Jocelyn Logan Friend (2002-05) to move into third place in the UVA record book. Heather Burge (1990-93) is in second with 152
