WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- The Wake Forest women's basketball team looks to snap a seven-game losing streak this Thursday, Feb. 17th, when the Demon Deacons take on North Carolina at 7:00 p.m. in Chapel Hill. WFU enters the game at 6-17 overall and 2-10 in the ACC after a 69-38 thumping by No. 14 Duke on Monday night. The Deacs' last win came over the Tar Heels, however, back on Jan. 16th in Winston-Salem. The Tar Heels enter the game at 13-11 overall and 5-8 in the league after an 85-62 win over Georgia Tech on Sunday.
Last Time Out
Duke outscored Wake Forest 42-18 in the second half en route to a 69-38 victory on Monday night at LJVM Coliseum. The Demon Deacons started off strong and held a 14-12 edge after a Janae Whiteside jumper at the 9:15 mark of the first period. A Krista Gingrich 3-pointer put the Blue Devils ahead, however, and keyed a 13-2 run which gave Duke a comfortable lead for good. The Deacs hit just 28 percent of their shots in the game, while Duke shot 41 percent, including 53 percent in the second period. Duke held a slight 42-40 rebounding edge, and Wake went to the free throw line just five times while the Blue Devils were 17 of 23 from the stripe. The Deacs were held without a double-figure scorer for the first time all season, as Whiteside netted a team-high nine points. Junior forward Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick led WFU with six rebounds.
Scouting Wake Forest
Through 23 games, WFU is averaging a league-low 56.7 points per outing, shooting just 37.9 percent from the floor. Senior guard Alisha Mosley is the only Deacon averaging in double figures (10.7 ppg), while junior forward Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick contributes 8.7 points and a team-high 7.2 rebounds per game. Despite having several returning three-point shooters on the roster, Wake has struggled all year from behind the arc, shooting just 25.2 percent. Defensively, the Deacs have held opponents to 65.8 points per game on 38.7 percent shooting. Wake has been outrebounded by a 5.3 margin, including double-digit deficits in seven of the last 13 games, and WFU's opponents have gone to the free throw line an average of 8.3 more times per game.
Scouting North Carolina
After a promising 9-2 start and a top 20 national ranking, North Carolina (13-11, 5-8) dropped seven of its next eight games - including a 69-56 decision to WFU - while junior guard Nikki Teasley took a personal leave of absence from the team. Since her return to the lineup, Teasley has averaged 15.2 points and 5.8 assists per game off the bench and the Tar Heels have won three of their last five contests. Last Sunday, UNC shot 57 percent from the floor to defeat Georgia Tech 85-62 for the program's 500th all-time victory. On the season, the Tar Heels are averaging 71.6 points per game on 38.9 percent shooting. UNC leads the ACC in three-pointers per game (6.0) and hits 32.4 percent from the arc. Junior LaQuanda Barksdale leads the ACC in both scoring (17.2 ppg) and rebounding (8.9 rpg) while Teasley (14.4 ppg) and junior guard Juana Brown (10.4 ppg) also average in double figures. Barksdale, Teasley and Brown all eclipsed the 1,000-point career mark this season.
Series History
North Carolina holds a 44-9 advantage in the all-time series with Wake Forest, and the Tar Heels had won 18 straight contests before Wake's win in Winston-Salem earlier this season. Back on Jan. 16th, Alisha Mosley scored 24 points to lead the Deacs to a 69-56 upset of then-No. 15 UNC. Prior to that, Wake had not beaten Carolina since the 1990-91 campaign. The series began in 1973-74, with UNC winning the first 25 meetings through the 1986-87 season. Wake then took eight of the next nine games from 87-88 through 90-91.

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 Wake's first win over UNC in nine years, snapping an 18-game Tar Heel winning streak that dated back to 1991. It also marked WFU's first win over an AP-ranked team since a 75-64 victory over No. 18 NC State on Feb. 25, 1996, and was the program's 14th-ever win over an AP-ranked team. The 56 points was the fewest UNC has scored against WFU since a 61-53 decision in 1988.
Too Many Freebies
Wake Forest's 12 ACC opponents have gone to the free throw line nearly twice as much as the Deacs - an average of 12 more times per game, resulting in 8.3 more points per outing. The win over North Carolina on Jan. 16th marked the only ACC contest in which Wake went to the stripe more times than its opponent (the Deacs were 19 of 27 while UNC was 4 of 8.) The other 11 ACC foes have gone to the line an average of 27.4 times per game to Wake's 12.5. Maryland went to the stripe a whopping 47 times on Jan. 19th, scoring nearly half its points at the free throw line (33). Through all 23 games, Deacon opponents have earned 8.3 more foul shots per game than WFU.
The problem is not so much in the quantity of fouls by Wake Forest - the Deacs average only four more fouls per ACC game than their opponents - but rather in the quality. A large number of the fouls committed by WFU are shooting fouls, rather than fouls on the floor.

Rebounding Woes
Rebounding has also been a serious concern this season for the Deacs, who have been outboarded by 15 of 23 opponents. On the year, Wake owns a rebound margin of -5.3, worst in the ACC. WFU has been outrebounded by double-digit margins in eight games, including seven of the last 13 outings. In ACC games, the Deacs own a -7.0 rebound margin and have given up 16.8 offensive boards per game.
Dee-Fense
Despite struggling to put points on the board, the Deacs have benefitted from a solid defense this year. Wake has held opponents to 65.8 points per game and a 38.7 shooting percentage, keeping seven opponents under 60 points and allowing only nine teams to shoot 40 percent or better from the floor. No team has shot 50 percent or better on the Deacs this year, and Duke and NC State have been the only two teams this year to score 80 points vs. WFU.
Mosley Moves Into Starting Lineup
Senior guard Alisha Mosley, who led the Deacs in scoring from off the bench in the first 15 games, stepped up her game after moving into the starting lineup. Playing the three position in Wake's three-guard lineup, she averaged 16.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game in her first five starts, shooting 47 percent from the floor, 35 percent from the arc and 83 percent from the line. In the last three games, however, she's netted just six points in each outing. On the season, Mosley leads the team in scoring (10.7 ppg) and has hit double figures on 13 occassions.
Foul Trouble Limits Robinson's Offensive Output
Sophomore center LaChina Robinson, a 1998 ACC All-Freshman pick, got off to a strong start on the year but has been limited offensively by foul trouble in recent games. Robinson averaged 9.0 points per game in the non-conference schedule, scoring in double figures in 7 of 11 games, but has averaged just 6.5 points with two double-digit games against 12 ACC foes. In three of the last five outings (Virginia, NC State and Duke), early foul trouble has limited her to less than five points and under 15 minutes of playing time.
Dardy Out for Season
Junior forward Olivia Dardy will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on her left knee for recurrent patella subluxation (a shifting of the kneecap) on Feb. 10th. The team's top returning scorer and rebounder (9.6 ppg, 6.8 rpg in 98-99), Dardy averaged 3.9 points and 3.1 rebounds in 10 games this year. Injuries have plagued her this season, though, as she missed five games due to a stress fracture in her foot earlier in the year.
Where Did Those Threes Go?
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 struggled from beyond the arc all year. Despite all of its outside shooting weapons, Wake has hit just 25 percent of its threes, averaging just 3.6 treys per game.
Wake's key returning three-point shooters are junior guard Janae Whiteside (25.3% this year), who hit 50 percent of her threes and averaged 5.4 treys per game in the last seven games of 98-99, sophomore guard Val Klopfer (24.0%), who shot 38 percent from the arc last season, and senior guard Alisha Mosley (30.1%), who ranks among WFU's top all-time three-point shooters (see below). 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 rookie center Johanna Bjorklund.
Increased Blockage
With a taller inside lineup this season, the Deacs have seen an improvement in their shot-blocking ability this year. Last season, the Deacs averaged 2.1 blocks per game, mostly due to then-rookie center LaChina Robinson (0.8 bpg). This year, Robinson (0.7 bpg) and freshmen Johanna Bjorklund (0.5 bpg) and Tiffani Listenbee (0.5 bpg) have combined to give the Deacs an effective "swat" team inside, as all three rank among the ACC's top 10 shot-blockers in conference games. On the season, Wake is averaging 2.8 blocks per game overall and 3.2 blocks per ACC outing.
Kirkpatrick A Force Down Low
Junior forward Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick has emerged as a force down low for the Deacs this year in her first year as a starter. Kirkpatrick leads the Deacs and ranks eighth in the ACC in rebounding (7.2 rpg) and is second on the team in scoring (8.7 ppg). She has 11 double-figure scoring outings and five double-figure rebound games, including four double-doubles, and she's been the team's leading rebounder in 15 games.

Trio Climbs Three-Point Charts
The Deacs currently have three players on the roster who rank among the school's top 10 all-time three-point shooters: senior Alisha Mosley, junior Janae Whiteside and sophomore Val Klopfer. Mosley also ranks among the top 10 in career free throw percentage (8th, 73.0%) and assists (10th, 209). A look at where each ranks on the three-point charts:

Solid From The Stripe
Senior guard Alisha Mosley has been outstanding from the free throw line this season, ranking third in the ACC with an 80.5 free throw percentage (62 of 77). Three other Deacs also average over 80 percent from the line, although they doesn't go often enough to rank among the ACC leaders - junior guard Janae Whiteside (22 of 26, .846), sophomore guard Val Klopfer (12 of 15, .800) and freshman center Johanna Bjorklund (8 of 10, .800). Overall, the Deacs have been solid from the free throw line this season (when they've gotten there), hitting 67.9 percent. However, the Deacs are shooting just 64 percent in ACC games after knocking down 71 percent in the non-conference schedule.
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. She's been relatively quiet in her other 20 games, however, averaging just under two 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 post players 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 center/forward LaTisha Pearson.
A Look at the Rookies
All four of the Deacs' rookies have seen significant action this year. Swing player Heather Miller (3.5 ppg, 1.4 rpg) has seen 8.1 minutes of action and had two double-figure scoring outings. Forward Tiffani Listenbee (1.7 ppg, 1.8 rpg, 0.5 bpg) has played 9.3 minutes per game and netted six points and six boards vs. NC State. Center Johanna Bjorklund (2.3 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 0.5 bpg) has averaged 10.6 minutes and ranks sixth in the ACC with 0.8 blocks per game in conference outings. Redshirt freshman forward/center LaTisha Pearson (0.1 ppg, 1.1 rpg) has appeared in 15 games for an average of 5.0 minutes, she played a season-high 20 minutes vs. NC State.
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 10 of the 12 active players average over eight minutes per game apiece.
Biedrycki Transfers
Sophomore center Elizabeth Biedrycki elected to leave the WFU women's basketball program in December, transferring to Division II Wingate University at the end of the fall semester. As a freshman last year, she played under 10 minutes per game in 27 contests, averaging 1.7 points and 0.9 rebounds. She played 2.8 minutes per game in five games this year, tallying six points and seven rebounds.
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 head coach Charlene Curtis at Radford, then served as an assistant on Curtis' staffs at Radford, Temple and WFU (1997-99). She left the Deacons in August of '99 for a teaching and coaching position at an elementary school in New Jersey.
ACC Leaders
Through Feb 15th, senior guard Alisha Mosley ranked third in the ACC in free throw percentage (.805), while sophomore center LaChina Robinson is seventh in blocks (0.7 bpg) and junior forward Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick is eighth in rebounds (7.2 rpg). In ACC games only, Mosley is 14th in scoring (11.7 ppg) and fifth in free throw percentage (.756), while freshman center Johanna Bjorklund (0.8 bpg) is sixth, freshman forward Tiffani Listenbee (0.7 bpg) is seventh and Robinson (0.6) is ninth in blocks.

Iron Women
Senior guard Alisha Mosley has played in every single game of her collegiate career at Wake Forest, a streak which now totals 106 games over the last four years. Other "iron women" who have yet to miss a game include junior forwards Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick and Kristen Shaffer (78 straight). Sophomore center LaChina Robinson is the only Deac who has started every game of her collegiate career (50 straight).
Iron Women, Part II
Junior forward Kristen Shaffer, sophomore guard Val Klopfer and freshman forward Heather Miller all achieved "Gold Club" status in the Wake Forest weight room this year. To earn such a distinction, athletes must meet high standards in several strength and conditioning exercises.
Signees
Wake Forest signed two players during the November early signing period who will don the Old Gold & Black as freshmen next year: Bianca Brown (5-8, Guard, Montclair, NJ/Montclair HS): Brown averaged 18 points, 7 rebounds, and 7.3 steals per game in her junior season, shooting 52 percent from the floor, 39 percent from three-point range, and 77 percent from the free throw line. She tallied 881 points in her first three years of high school play, earning first-team all-conference honors in both her sophomore and junior seasons.
Eafton Hill (6-1, Forward, Boone, NC/Watuga HS): Hill averaged 20.3 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 steals per game in her junior season. As a sophomore, she averaged 15 points and 11 rebounds per outing and recorded 109 blocked shots to earn team MVP honors. She was a Northwestern 4A All-Conference pick in 1996-97 and was named to the Northwestern 4A Conference All-Tournament Team in 1998.
Noteable Deac
A former Deacon 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 still ranks as the school's all-time leading three-point shooter, was selected as No. 17 from Vermont as the only athlete from the state to play in the WNBA. Levesque is now an assistant coach at the University of Vermont.
