Being a sports fan is never easy. As a Virginia Cavaliers football fan and Dallas Cowboys fan, the performance of these two teams was scarier than anything else I witnessed this Halloween weekend.Virginia had a chance to strengthen its hold on the Coastal Division and definitely let a win slip through its grasp Saturday.

?You probably can count on two fingers the amount of fumbles that Cedric [Peerman] has had.?Virginia coach Al Groh?s words for Peerman described the first occasion Peerman had fumbled the ball away to the opposition, or at all, in his Virginia career.

After Virginia?s come-from-behind win against then-No. 18 Georgia Tech last Saturday, the Cavaliers have become the epitome of the phrase ?from worst to first.? After an abysmal start to the season, the Cavaliers (5-3, 3-1 ACC) now hold the top spot in the ACC Coastal Division.
As the rest of the University prepares for Halloween festivities tonight, the Virginia men?s soccer team has other things on its mind.

As junior midfielder Jonathan Villanueva slipped behind the American defense unnoticed and threaded the ball past the diving goalkeeper and into the top left corner of the net to give Virginia a decisive 4-1 lead, the Cavalier faithful breathed a sigh of relief.The Virginia men?s soccer team (9-5-1, 5-2 ACC) finally found its footing last night following a three-game winless streak, prevailing 4-2 against the Eagles (7-6-2) at home, and perhaps gaining some confidence as they head into their final two home-conference matchups of the regular season.?We?ve had a three-game stretch where we haven?t gotten the results,? Virginia coach George Gelnovatch said.
