Veteran women’s lacrosse begins season with high expectations

By Chanhong Luu | February 11, 2015

After reaching the semifinals of the NCAA Tournament last season, Virginia women’s lacrosse faces expectations to earn the program’s first national championship since 2004. Last season’s semifinal result, a loss to conference foe Syracuse, was the best finish for the Cavaliers since the 2007 season when they lost in the title game against Northwestern.

Junior righty Josh Sborz saved Friday's season-opening 3-1 win. He escaped a bases-loaded jam in the eighth inning before shutting down the Pirates in the ninth.

What recruiting?

By Matthew Comey | February 10, 2015

National signing day came and went last Wednesday without much hype at all for the Virginia football team. According to top recruiting experts, the Cavaliers signed somewhere between the 44th and 55th best class in the nation, which doesn’t seem too bad considering Virginia has finished last place in the ACC Coastal for three straight seasons. For me, however, the news is the most damning piece of evidence yet against the case for Virginia coach Mike London, who will enter his sixth season with the team this fall.

Men’s tennis rams VCU

By Jacob Hochberger | February 9, 2015

The Virginia men’s tennis team will spend significant time on the road in the next six weeks. One of the most important aspects of a long road trip is starting off strong and gaining momentum, as these are some of the most taxing times for a team. At Thalhimer Tennis Center in Richmond Saturday, Virginia did just that.

It’s not over until the fat lady sings

By Chanhong Luu | February 9, 2015

Duke suffered its first home loss in 41 games to Miami, 90-74, Jan. 13. After the game, I tweeted “OVERRATED *clap clap clap clap clap* OVERRATED *clap clap clap clap clap* OVERRATED *clap clap clap clap clap* #Duke” adding insult to injury to the No.4 Blue Devils.

Brogdon played 38 minutes and led Virginia with 15 points. He made two free throws with 10 seconds to play, icing the game.
