Zolman Triggers Tennessee

Shanna Zolman, Tennessee’s leading scorer, bounced back from a poor shooting performance to score 23 points in the Lady Vols’ 83-67 victory over Old Dominion on Monday at Knoxville, Tenn.

Zolman, a senior guard from Syracuse, Ind., who averages 16.5 points and shoots 48.4% from the field, had scored only five points on one-for-seven shooting Saturday night in Tennessee’s 62-51 victory over Notre Dame at South Bend, Ind.

Against Old Dominion, she made six of 10 shots, including three of five three-point attempts.

“They were like glue on me at Notre Dame,” Zolman said. “That’s how people are going to guard me from here on out. That is something I have to be a lot more aware of and keep a more conscious effort to just keep moving continuously.”

The Lady Vols (13-0) stayed on the move against Old Dominion (2-7), getting their 10th consecutive victory over the Monarchs. T.J. Jordan’s 17 points led Old Dominion.

No. 2 Duke 100, Wake Forest 54 -- Monique Currie had 16 points before sitting out the final 11 1/2 minutes as the Blue Devils (12-0) beat the Demon Deacons (7-5) in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both schools at Durham, N.C. The Blue Devils had won their previous five home games by an average margin of 57 points, including a 110-24 rout of Ball State.

Wake Forest leading scorer Cotelia Bond-Young was limited to nine points, about half her average.

No. 6 Maryland 82, Manhattan 49 -- Jade Perry had 17 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Terrapins (13-1) over the Jaspers (4-7) at College Park, Md. Maryland won despite shooting a season-low 36.2%.

North Carolina State 65, No. 25 Virginia Tech 44 -- Tiffany Stansbury scored all 14 of her points in the second half to lead the Wolfpack to victory in the ACC opener for both teams at Raleigh, N.C.

The Wolfpack (10-3) began a 24-4 run late in the first half and extended it to the second half to take an 18-point lead. Dawn Chriss scored 14 points for the Hokies (12-1), who fell to 0-6 all-time against North Carolina State since beginning varsity play in the 1976-77 season.
