When I started writing this column, I had every intention of bashing the National Hockey League. The league has been coordinating with Reebok to create new uniforms for its teams.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Some observations from last night's 71-58 Virginia win over N.C. State.:
At 6 a.m., when most University students are sound asleep or perhaps just getting home from the library, the men's club rowing team is already at the Rivanna Reservoir for an early morning practice.

The start of this season marked women's tennis coach Mark Guilbeau's and assistant coach Troy Porco's second year of coaching at Virginia.
By Ben Gibson Cavalier Daily Associate Editor The Virginia women's basketball team went 59:58 without trailing their state rival Virginia Tech. Unfortunately for Virginia, that was two seconds too short. Hokie guard Kirby Copeland drove to the basket in the waning seconds, missing a lay-up that a wide open Brittany Cook was able to corral and lay in with 1.4 seconds left, sealing the 60-58 heartbreaker. It was the Hokies' first and only lead of the game, and after sophomore Lyndra Littles attempted a miracle three after the buzzer sounded, the crowd of 4,132 could only watch in disbelief as the Cavaliers squandered a 14-point lead. "When the clock hit triple zeroes was the first time I thought we were going to lose the game," junior guard Sharnée Zoll said.
Wrestling is one of the few sports in which there are no substitutions. If you're one of the lucky 10 in the starting lineup, you're on the mat -- if you're not in the lineup, well, it's a whole different story. For the 10 starters, their weeks are composed of watching everything they eat to ensure they make weight on game day.

The difference this season is that the women will be competing with a very young team composed largely of freshman players as well as one transfer.
On a snowy afternoon in Charlottesville, the Virginia men's basketball team continued its stellar play at John Paul Jones Arena.
Oftentimes, one huge play can be the difference between victory and defeat -- that was the case for the Virginia wrestling team in their 20-15 victory against UNC-Greensboro Saturday. With Virginia trailing 9-7 going into the sixth match, their outcome looked bleak with senior Damian Johnson trailing 4-1.
When the Tor-Leitao spun into town two years ago, he came with really only one promise: "We will play defense." Virginia fans ate it up.
Freshman guard Monica Wright and sophomore forward Lyndra Littles may be two of the best players on the Virginia women's basketball team, but they do little good sitting on the bench next to Virginia coach Debbie Ryan. That is exactly what happened Friday night when foul trouble and offensive fireworks by Maryland led to an early deficit the Cavaliers could never overcome in an emotional 95-68 loss. "I felt like we could score anytime we wanted against them," Ryan said.
