No. 15 Virginia used an impressive debut performance from its freshmen and a solid second half from Wooden Award candidate Monica Wright, rolling past High Point 78-48 in the season opener at John Paul Jones Arena on Friday night.

While she can’t hear everything that her teammates can, Britny Edwards, a rookie on the Virginia women’s basketball team, is of the opinion that she is not different.
