Champaign, IL - UVa's Debbie Ryan has the Cavalier women in the top 25. They're 5-and-2 coming off a loss to Gonzaga. Thursday night UVa took on Illinois -- plenty of orange and blue to go around in this one.

It was all Cavs. Monica Wright had seven steals in the first half alone. She finished with 23 points. Then good quick passing, Aisha Mohammed gets the finish. UVa also had it working from the outside. Wright finds Arianna Moorer for three. It was 40-to-14 at the break. UVa goes on to win it by 24 -- 63-39.
