Virginia hosts Tigers, Jackets this weekend

By Sean Bielawski | November 2, 2007

After a four-match road trip, the Virginia women's volleyball team returns home for a crucial two-game series against ACC frontrunner Clemson tonight and third place Georgia Tech Sunday afternoon. The Cavaliers (14-9, 9-5 ACC) went 2-2 during their four games away from Memorial Gymnasium, registering 3-1 victories over Wake Forest and Miami while taking two tough five-game defeats at the hands of Florida State and ACC powerhouse Duke. The 24th-ranked Tigers (20-2, 13-0 ACC), on the other hand, come to Charlottesville on a 17-match winning streak, including a 3-0 victory over Virginia in September.

Cavaliers close home schedule, honor seniors with Mercer shutout

By Megan McDonald | October 31, 2007

The No. 14 Virginia men's soccer team's senior class improved its overall record to 57-18-7 last night with a 4-0 win against Mercer. The shut-out victory, on the heels of last Friday's unsettling 2-1 overtime loss to Duke, is exactly how the Cavaliers had hoped to finish up their five-game homestand before closing out the regular season on the road. "Any time you get a win you are happy, but the energy level and the execution and the togetherness tonight reminded me of the beginning of this season," Virginia coach George Gelnovatch said.

Senior Cavs aim to get on track against Mercer

By Megan McDonald | October 30, 2007

For nearly a third of the Virginia men's soccer team, tonight's match against Mercer could be their last appearance at home in the Cavalier uniform. Eight seniors will be honored tonight before Virginia's last regular season home game, including goalkeeper Kyle Rudzinski, defensemen Zola Short and Matt Williams, midfielders Chris Tierney, Jeremy Barlow, Will Hall and Dane Murphy and forward Matt Ayotte. Although technically listed as a junior, Yannick Reyering will also be recognized this evening, as this is his final year of NCAA eligibility. For these veteran members, however, defeating Mercer (6-10-0) is about much more than securing a victory on senior night: It is a step toward getting Virginia (9-4-2, 1-3-2 ACC) out of what players and coaches alike have described as a "funk." "The senior night stuff is all great, and it is nice to be honored in that way," Tierney said.

Tiki Barber returns to alma mater Friday for book signing

By Eric Kolenich | October 29, 2007

Hundreds of fans braved the rain Friday for a glimpse of a celebrity and Virginia football hero. The line wrapped down the stairs from the second floor of the University Bookstore, out the door and to the parking garage, full of fans waiting to meet the legendary Tiki Barber. Barber made the trip to his alma mater to autograph copies of his new book "Tiki: My Life in the Game and Beyond." For Barber, the visit comes almost one year after his 2006 appearance, when Barber and his brother Ronde Barber donated $1 million dollars to the Capital Campaign. "I always love to come back to this area of the country and visit close to my hometown in Roanoke, a place where I grew up and became a man and learned about being socially responsible," Barber said.
