After a great season in which the Cavaliers won a second-straight ACC championship and reached the NCAA quarterfinals, the Virginia women’s golf team faces a difficult challenge for this upcoming year: the Cavaliers will have to replace their two top performers from last season, as All-American golfers Lauren Coughlin and Elizabeth Szokol have graduated.
Whenever football season rolls around, a majority of Virginia students seem to neglect the successes of other Cavaliers sports teams. This year, one particularly successful team is being overshadowed by the beginning of the Mendenhall era — women’s soccer.
The Virginia men’s soccer team returned home to Charlottesville this week after a two-game road trip, where they played in-state rival James Madison and ACC powerhouse No. 21 Wake Forest.

High expectations breed high pressure, but there was something calming in coach Steve Swanson’s voice as he looked forward on the coming season. His tone and manner neither exuded arrogance nor placed pressure on his team.
