Women’s Basketball: Hoos Win First Round Game of ACC Tournament

The Cavalier women’s basketball team kicked off the ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament on Wednesday in a dominant fashion defeating the Boston College Eagles, 77-61.

Coach Tina Thompson has had her fair share of struggles in her first year at the helm of the Cavaliers thanks in large part to a plethora of injuries and a young roster and ending the regular season with an 11-18 overall record and 5-11 ACC record, but starting off her first ACC tournament with a victory is a great start.

Third year Jocelyn Willoughby lead the Cavaliers and is on her way to earning All-ACC honors after putting up 29 points on 8-15 shooting including going 12-12 at the charity stripe.
