Women's BB: The Ladies try to one up the Gents....

VT 11-11(1-8) loses to Syracuse 17-6(6-4) 73-48....

The only relative bright spot was Uju Ugoka returning from injury to record her 12th double double of the season, scoring 15 points while grabbing 12 boards. The only other Hokie in double figures was Vanessa Panoussis with 12 points. Surprisingly Syracuse only had one player in double figures but Brittney Sykes threw down 31 points in only 28 minutes of play. This game unfortunately was essentially over halfway through the first half, as the Hokies were down by double digits from the 10 minute mark throughout the rest of the game. Syracuse led by 21 at the half and by as many as 35 at one point in this game. They had ten players play at least ten minutes each in this game, so the Lady Hokies struggled even against the back ups in this game. Not a good showing especially against a middling team in the conference this year.
