Winston-Salem, N.C.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- The Wake Forest women's basketball team completes the first half of the conference round-robin schedule as the Demon Deacons host No. 25 Virginia this Thursday, Jan. 27th, for a 7:00 pm contest in LJVM Coliseum. WFU enters the game at 6-12 overall and 2-5 in the ACC after a hard-fought loss to Clemson on Monday, while the Cavaliers are 14-5 overall and 6-1 in the ACC after falling to Kent in a non-conference contest on Monday.
Last Time Out
Chrissy Floyd scored 15 points to lead Clemson to a 66-55 victory over Wake Forest at Littlejohn Coliseum on Monday night. The Deacons gave the Tigers a run for their money, jumping out to a 12-5 lead and keeping the game tight until the final minutes. Clemson held a slight 27-26 lead at halftime, but used a late 18-6 run to go up by 11. Wake cut it back to 61-55 with 30 seconds remaining, but the Tigers hit 5 of 6 free throws in the waning seconds to seal the victory. The Deacs held their own on the boards with the Tigers, 35-35, and hit eight three-pointers in the game. But Wake committed 18 fouls to Clemson's 7, sending the Tigers to the line 27 times while WFU went just four times. Clemson also committed just eight turnovers in the contest while the Deacs had 19 miscues. Junior guard Janae Whiteside led the Deacs with a season-high 18 points, including four three-pointers in the second half. Senior guard Alisha Mosley recorded the first double-double of her career, netting 14 points and a career-high 10 rebounds. Sophomore center LaChina Robinson also grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds for the Deacs.
Scouting Wake Forest
Through 18 games, WFU is averaging 58.9 points per outing, shooting 39.1 percent from the floor. Senior guard Alisha Mosley is the only Deacon averaging in double figures (10.9 ppg), while junior forward Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick contributes 9.5 points and a team-high 7.1 rebounds per game. Despite returning several key three-point shooters this year, the Deacs have struggled from long range, shooting just 26 percent from behind the arc. Defensively, the Deacs have been solid, holding opponents to 64.7 points per game on 37.8 percent shooting. Wake has been outrebounded by a 4.2 margin, however, including double-digit rebound deficits in four of the last eight games.
Scouting No. 25 Virginia
No. 25 Virginia made its first appearance in the Top 25 this week following a 10-game win streak which included victories over two top 10 teams (No. 9 North Carolina and No. 6 NC State). The Cavaliers had that streak snapped on Monday, however, suffering an 85-74 loss at Kent. Thus, UVa enters Thursday's game at 14-5 overall and tied for first in the ACC at 6-1. Through 19 games, the Cavs are averaging 76.6 points per game and a 46.1 field goal percentage, both tops in the ACC. Defensively they've held opponents to 68.3 points per game on just 38.8 percent shooting. Virginia has been outrebounded by its opponets by a -2.1 margin this season. UVa has succeeded despite losing four starters from last year's 20-9 team - three seniors and junior guard Erin Stovall, who took a personal leave of absence after eight games this year. The Wahoos are led by freshman forward Schuye LaRue, who ranks among the ACC's top 10 in both scoring (15.3 ppg) and rebounding (6.8 rpg). Junior forward Svetlana Volnaya (14.3 ppg) and sophomore guard Telisha Quarles (11.4 ppg) also average in double figures, while senior guard Renee Robinson leads the ACC in assists (5.3 apg).
Series History
Virginia holds a commanding 44-1 lead in the all-time series with Wake Forest, and the Cavaliers have won the last 42 straight meetings. Wake's lone win against UVa came in the schools' third meeting, a 60-59 decision in Charlottesville in the 1977-78 season. Last year, Virginia swept WFU in the regular season, winning 65-45 in Charlottesville and 81-50 in Winston-Salem, then barely escaped with a 71-67 win in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals as the Deacs turned in one of their best performances in recent history.

A Significant Win
The Deacs' 69-56 win over No. 15 North Carolina on Jan. 16th was significant in a number of ways. It marked WFU's first win over UNC in nine years, snapping an 18-game Tar Heel winning streak that dated back to 1991. It also marked Wake's first win over a ranked team since a 75-64 victory over No. 18 NC State on Feb. 25, 1996, and was the program's 14th all-time win over a ranked team. The 56 points was the fewest UNC has scored against WFU since a 61-53 decision in the 1988 ACC Tournament.
Rebounding Woes
Rebounding has been a concern this season for the Deacs, who have been outboarded by 11 of 18 opponents this season. On the year, Wake owns a rebound margin of -4.2, the worst in the ACC. WFU has been outrebounded by double digits in five games, including four of the last eight outings. In five ACC games, the Deacs own a -5.4 rebound margin and give up a whopping 15.6 offensive boards per game.
Too Many Freebies
Wake Forest's seven ACC opponents have gone to the free throw line 11 times more per game than the Deacs, resulting in 9.0 points per outing. In addition, the Deacs only have shot only 61 percent from the line in ACC games, while opponents have made 69 percent of their attempts. The win over UNC marked the only ACC contest that Wake went to the stripe more than its opponent - the Deacs were 19 of 27 (70.4%), while UNC was 4 of 8 (50.0%). Maryland scored nearly half of its points at the free throw line vs. Wake (33 of 47), and Clemson went to the line 27 times while the Deacs had a season-low four foul shots.
Mosley Moves Into Starting Lineup
Senior guard Alisha Mosley earned her first start of the year vs. North Carolina after leading the Deacs in scoring from off the bench in the first 15 games. Playing the three position in Wake's new three-guard lineup, she tallied a career-high 24-points to lift the Deacs to victory over UNC, then added 12 in the loss to Maryland and posted her first career double-double (14 pts, 10 rebs) vs. Clemson. In her three starts, Mosley is averaging 16.6 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 44 percent from the floor, 36 percent from three-point range and 80 percent from the line. On the season, Mosley is averaging a team-high 10.9 points per game, having hit double figures on 11 occassions.
Robinson Increases Offensive Output
Sophomore center LaChina Robinson has emerged as more of an offensive threat for the Deacs this season after establishing herself as a defensive force in the paint last year. Robinson earned ACC All-Freshman honors in 1998-99, averaging 5.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks per game. In 18 games this year, she has netted 8.7 points per game and scored in double figures eight times, including a 17-point performance in the win over Florida State. Robinson is shooting 55 percent from the floor and ranks sixth in the ACC in blocks (0.8 bpg).
Dardy To Miss Rest of Season
Junior forward Olivia Dardy will miss the remainder of the 1999-2000 season to undergo surgery on her left knee, which suffers from a recurrent patella subluxation, or a shifting of the kneecap. Dardy, the team's leading returning scorer and rebounder (9.6 ppg, 6.8 rpg in 98-99), has averaged 4.3 points and 3.4 rebounds in nine games off the bench this year. Injuries have plagued her this year, as she missed five games early in the season due to a stress fracture in her foot. Dardy had a similar problem in her right knee which was corrected through surgery in high school.
Mosley Climbs Career Charts
Senior guard Alisha Mosley ranks among the top five players all-time at WFU in three-pointers made and attempted. She also owns a place among the top 10 in career free throw percentage (8th at 72.5%) and assists (10th with 201). A look at her place on the three-point charts:
3-Pt Field Goals Made
| 1. | Nicole Levesque (1990-94) | 193 |
| 2. | Heidi Coleman (1994-99) | 191 |
| 3. | Sabrina Slone (1989-93) | 113 |
| 4. | Gretchen Hollifield (1992-96) | 104 |
| Alisha Mosley (1996-pres) | 104 |
3-Pt Field Goals Attempted
| 1. | Nicole Levesque (1990-94) | 550 |
| 2. | Heidi Coleman (1994-99) | 527 |
| 3. | Alisha Mosley (1996-pres) | 354 |
Wake Forest ranked No. 1 in the ACC and No. 19 in the nation last year in three-point shooting, averaging 6.1 threes per game and shattering the school records for threes made (172) and attempted (502) in a season. All but one of Wake's long-range gunners returned this year, yet the Deacs have yet to catch fire from outside. Despite all of its outside shooting weapons, Wake has hit just 26.1 percent of its threes this year (68 of 261), averaging 3.8 treys per game.
Wake's key three-point shooters are junior guard Janae Whiteside (28.4%), who connected on 50 percent of her threes and averaged 5.4 treys per game in the last seven games of 98-99, sophomore guard Val Klopfer (24.6%), who hit 38 percent of her threes last season, and senior guard Alisha Mosley (30.4%), who ranks among the top five all-time three-point shooters at WFU (see above). Other Deacs with three-point range include sophomore guard Adell Harris, junior forwards Kristen Shaffer, Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick and Olivia Dardy, freshman forward Heather Miller, and even rookie center Johanna Bjorklund.
Whiteside Heats Up From Long-Range
The Deacs have begun to show signs of life from behind the arc recently, however, hitting 36 percent of their threes (34 of 95) and averaging 5.7 threes per outing in the last six games. A large part improvement has to do with the return of junior guard Janae Whiteside's shooting rhythm. After going 6 of 37 in the first 12 games (16.2%), Whiteside has hit 13 of 27 threes (48.1%) in five of the last six outings (discounting the Maryland game, when she was ill and went 0 for 3 from the arc).
Dee-Fense
Despite struggling to put points on the board, the Deacons have benefitted from a strong defense this year. Wake has held opponents to just 64.7 points per game and a 37.8 shooting percentage, keeping six opponents under 60 points. As a matter of fact, 60 seems to be the magic number for WFU: when holding an opponent to 59 points or less they are 6-0, when opponents score 60 or more points, they are 0-12. No. 11 Duke was the only team to score 80 points on the Deacs.
Kirkpatrick A Force Down Low
Junior forward Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick, a team co-captain, has emerged as a force down low for the Deacs this year. In her first year as a starter, Kirkpatrick currently leads the Deacs (and ranks seventh in the ACC) in rebounding (7.1 rpg) and is second on the team in scoring (9.5 ppg). She has 10 double-figure scoring outings and four double-figure rebound games, including three double-doubles. Kirkpatrick has been the team's leading rebounder in 11 games.

(* denotes team highs)
Solid From The Stripe
Senior guard Alisha Mosley has been outstanding from the free throw line this season, ranking among the top five in the ACC with a 79.7 free throw percentage (55 of 69). Three other Deacs average over 80 percent from the line, although they doesn't go often enough to rank among the ACC leaders - junior guard Janae Whiteside (20 of 24, .833), sophomore guard Val Klopfer (12 of 15, .800) and freshman center Johanna Bjorklund (8 of 10, .800).
With the exception of two games, Wake has been quite good from the free throw line this season. Discounting NC State (where they shot a miserable 37.5 percent from the line) and Liberty (57.1%), the Deacs have hit 71 percent of their foul shots. Including those two games, WFU owns a .674 free throw percentage. However, in ACC games, the Deacs are shooting 61 percent compared to 69 percent by opponents.
Biedrycki Transfers
Sophomore center Elizabeth Biedrycki recently elected to leave the Demon Deacon women's basketball program, transferring to Division II Wingate University at the end of the fall '99 semester. As a freshman last year, she played just under 10 minutes per game in 27 contests, averaging 1.7 points and 0.9 rebounds per outing. She saw just 2.8 minutes per game in five games this year, contributing six points and seven rebounds.
Miller Time
Freshman forward Heather Miller has had two big scoring bursts this season, exploding for 17 points vs. No. 13 LSU and racking up a career-high 21 points vs. Georgia Tech. In her other 16 games, however, she's averaged just 1.4 points per game. A USA Today High School All-American, Miller scored 2,395 points in her high school career.
Reaching New Heights
This season, WFU has six players on the roster who stand 6-0 or taller, including three who top the 6-4 mark: 6-4 sophomore center LaChina Robinson, 6-5 freshman center Johanna Bjorklund - the tallest player ever to don a WFU uniform - and 6-4 redshirt freshman LaTisha Pearson.
A Look at the Rookies
All three of the Deacs' rookies have seen significant action on the court this year. Swing player Heather Miller has contributed 3.5 points and 1.6 rebounds per game in 8.8 minutes of action, including two double-figure outings. Forward Tiffani Listenbee has played 9.3 minutes per game, averaging 1.6 points and 1.6 rebounds. She netted five points on two occasions, vs. Fairfield and Richmond. Center Johanna Bjorklund has averaged 9.6 minutes off the bench, averaging 2.2 points and 1.8 rebounds. She posted eight points twice, vs. High Point and Duke. Redshirt freshman forward/center LaTisha Pearson has appeared in 10 games for and average of 3.3 minutes, she saw a season-high nine minutes vs. Maryland and recorded two points and five rebounds.
Oh Captain, My Captain
Redshirt junior forward Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick and junior guard Janae Whiteside were selected as the Deacons' team captains for the 1999-2000 season by a preseason vote of their teammates and coaches.
Going Deep
In each of her three years at WFU, coach Charlene Curtis has gone deep into her bench in nearly every game. In fact, the 11 returning players this year had seen time in 98 percent of their career games, with the five upperclassmen missing only one game between them. Curtis has continued to go deep into her bench this year, as 11 of 13 players average over 8.8 minutes per game apiece.
In Remembrance
The Deacs wear black armbands on their uniforms this season in remembrance of former assistant coach Stacy Cox, who died in a car accident on Nov. 8th. Cox, 35, played under current Wake Forest head coach Charlene Curtis at Radford, then served as an assistant coach on Curtis' staffs at Radford, Temple and WFU (1997-99). She left the Deacs this past August to accept a teaching and coaching position at an elementary school in New Jersey.
ACC Leaders
Through games of Jan 25th, senior guard Alisha Mosley ranks fifth in the ACC in free throw percentage (.797), while sophomore center LaChina Robinson is sixth in blocks (0.8 bpg) and junior forward Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick is seventh in rebounds (7.1 rpg). In ACC games only, Mosley is 10th in scoring (12.7 ppg) and sixth in assists (3.7 apg), Robinson is fifth in blocks (0.7 bpg), junior guard Janae Whiteside is sixth in three-point field goal percentage (.406) and threes per game (1.9), and freshman center Johanna Bjorklund is ninth in blocks (0.6 bpg).
Noteable Deacon
A former Wake Forest women's basketball player appeared in Sports Illustrated's recent issue on the 50 greatest sports figures of the century from each of the 50 states. Nicole Levesque, who played for the Deacs from 1990-94 and ranks as the school's all-time leading three-point shooter, was selected as the No. 17 from Vermont as the only athlete from the state to play in the WNBA. Levesque, now an assistant coach at the University of Vermont, is also the only former Deac to play in the WNBA.
Iron Women
Senior guard Alisha Mosley has played in every single game of her collegiate career at Wake Forest, a streak which now totals 101 games over the last four years. Other Deacon "iron women" who have yet to miss a game include junior forwards Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick and Kristen Shaffer (73 straight games). Sophomore center LaChina Robinson is the only Deacon on the roster who has started every game of her collegiate career (46 straight games).
Iron Women, Part II
Junior forward Kristen Shaffer, sophomore guard Val Klopfer and freshman forward Heather Miller have all achieved "Gold Club" status in the Wake Forest weight room this year. To earn such a distinction, athletes must meet certain high standards in several strength and conditioning exercises.
Tip-Ins
The 4,031 fans that witnessed Wake's 69-56 upset of No. 15 North Carolina marked the largest home women's basketball crowd in school history ... four different opponents this year have corralled over 20 offensive rebounds against the Deacs ... no team has shot over 50 percent from the floor against WFU this year, and only six have topped 40 percent ... this year marked the third straight season that a Deacon freshman has posted a 20+ point performance vs. Georgia Tech - Heather Miller scored 21 vs. Tech on Jan. 6th, while LaChina Robinson netted 22 last year and Olivia Dardy collected 28 in 1997-98 ... the 11 free throws Alisha Mosley made vs. UNC were the most by a Demon Deacon since Nicole Levesque sunk 14 (of 14) against Georgia Tech on Feb. 26th, 1994.
HEAD COACH CHARLENE CURTIS
Head coach Charlene Curtis is in her third season at Wake Forest, bringing a wealth of experience, a commitment to excellence and a drive to bring the program to new heights. Curtis came to WFU from UConn, where she was an assistant for two seasons and helped the Huskies to a 67-5 record, two Big East titles and a Final Four appearance. Curtis was also head coach at Temple (1991-95), where she compiled a 41-97 record and coached four Atlantic 10 All-Rookie players, and Radford (1985-90), where she was Big South Coach of the Year twice and had a 121-53 record. She also served as an assistant at Georgetown (1984), Virginia (1982-83) and with USA Basketball, and was a floor coach for the Olympic Trials. A 1976 Radford graduate, Curtis was the school's first 1,000-point scorer and was inducted as a charter member of RU's Hall of Fame in 1995. She earned her master's degree from UVa in 1982. Curtis is 18-54 at Wake Forest (.250) and 180-204 overall (.469).
