It's always nice to win a series against a quality opponent. However, as Virginia baseball coach Brian O'Connor knows, Sunday's win against Wake Forest might prove to be even more crucial down the line.

Since the National Football League opened its free agency period March 11, there have been plenty of winners and losers. Daniel Snyder has been doing his best George Steinbrenner impression and has brought in the likes of Antwaan Randle El, Brandon Lloyd, Andre Carter and Adam Archuleta for the Washington Redskins. On the contrary, teams like the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts have suffered heavy losses, with the Patriots losing Willie McGinest, David Givens, Adam Viniateri and, potentially, Tom Ashworth, while the Colts lost star running back Edgerrin James. Perhaps the biggest story of the free agent period, though, has been the quarterback carousel.

Lost in the Madness of March, lost in the four straight days of continuously bad CBS coverage and -- even worse -- Applebee's commercials, lost in the fact that despite the calendar is entering late March and it's still cold, was the re-emergence of America's pastime -- baseball. The only thing is, America can't claim baseball for itself anymore.
With all the time, effort and money spent on NCAA recruitment in the 21st century, it is easy to overlook the commitment and success of non-scholarship players. But as any player or coach will tell you, they bring an invaluable component to the team. Freshman Amanda Rales is the perfect example. With eight of 13 players on the Virginia women's tennis team on scholarship, succeeding without a scholarship makes the tale of success even more amazing. In three years of high school tennis in Bethesda, Md., Rales was a three-time team MVP and three-time Washington Post all-metro selection. Now in Charlottesville, Rales is more than happy with her status and is ready to make a big splash in the women's tennis program. "I'm honored and privileged to be part of the team," Rales said. In the fall, she posted an impressive and team-leading 12-5 singles record.
