A month ago it looked like this year's East Coast surprise might be Virginia. Now it looks like Florida State: the 'Noles upset the Cavaliers last night in a match that went right down to the wire-- three FSU starters fouled out, and UVA cut a 13-point gap right down to one, but the visitors hung on.

"We didn't let the crowd, the fouls, and everything that was going against us... get to us," said FSU's Jacinta Monroe. Lyttles and Wright together scored most of UVA's points: no FSU player matched their numbers, but all five Seminole starters hit double digits.

FSU's very respectable schedule has wins over Texas A&M, LSU and Georgia Tech (but earlier losses to Valparaiso and Washington): they're undefeated in the ACC so far-- but Thursday the 'Noles play Duke.
