Three times last year, the Virginia Cavaliers women’s basketball team dressed only seven players. One game they only dressed six players. Coach Agugua-Hamilton is going to make sure that never happens again. A week after landing former New York Gatorade Player of the Year, Paris Clark from Arizona, Coach Mox has brought in 6’ 7” Taylor Lauterbach from Kansas State.
Height was a problem for the ‘Hoos last year as none of Virginia’s trio of bigs — Camryn Taylor, Sam Brunelle and London Clarkson — stood over 6’ 2”. In a league that featured Virginia Tech’s 6’5” Liz Kitley, NC State’s 6’5” River Baldwin, Miami’s 6’ 6” Kyla Oldacre, George Tech’s 6’5” Nerea Hermosa, and Boston College’s 6’3” (she’s really 6’4”) Maria Gakdeng, Virginia was consistently hammered on the boards.
