Women's tennis edged by Buckeyes

After the Virginia women's tennis team won two of the first three points against Ohio State, the Cavaliers lost the next three to the Buckeyes, falling 4-3. After Ohio State freshman Paloma Escobedo and senior Caitlin O'Keefe defeated Virginia's tandem of sophomore Jennifer Stevens and junior Hampton Williams to start the match, the Cavaliers (1-3) recovered to take the next two doubles matches to win the doubles point. In singles, the two teams went back and forth initially, as O'Keefe and Virginia junior Amanda Rales both won their matches in straight sets, giving the Cavaliers a 2-1 advantage.

The NFL circus

Less than a week from today, this year's football season will come to an end. Kids will cry, men will eject themselves from their recliners for the first time since Halloween, and beer vendors will enter their own version of Prohibition.
