Men's soccer ties Boston College, guarantees winning record

The Virginia men’s soccer team earned a crucial point in the standings Friday, playing No. 22 Boston College to a scoreless draw in Newton, Massachusetts. The tie guarantees the Cavaliers (8-6-2, 2-4-1 ACC) a .500 or better record for the 32nd consecutive season and in doing so fulfills a major benchmark for the NCAA Tournament selection process. Both teams had dangerous scoring opportunities in the first period.

Clear eyes, full hearts

Like many college students, I often lack time to keep up with TV shows as they air. As a result I have an ever-growing list of shows — “Breaking Bad”, “Mad Men” and “Game of Thrones,” to name a few — building up in my Netflix queue. When I find myself with some TV time, I almost invariably do what my friends jokingly call “The Sean Special”: revisit a show I’ve already seen and blitz through the entire series in about a week. My latest television binge has been to rewatch “Friday Night Lights,” perhaps my second-favorite show of all time.
