Virginia remains undefeated in ACC, has strong meet

Coming into Saturday's meet against Georgia Tech, the Cavaliers expected a meet where older swimmers would be allowed to garner practice in tertiary events and which would give the younger swimmers a chance to compete. This is exactly what the team gained when the men's and women's swimming and diving teams posted solid wins to remain undefeated in the ACC.

Cavs take first round of ACC tournament

The Virginia Cavaliers had not forgotten anything about their short stay at last year's ACC men's soccer tournament, not the four goals they had allowed to Clemson in the quarterfinals nor the deficient overall form that had ended a two-year reign atop the nation's most competitive league. So when they arrived at Maryland SoccerPlex yesterday for the 2006 event, the Cavaliers were intent on making amends for last fall's messy performance and regaining their place among the conference elite. The result-- a 2-0 victory over those same Tigers -- was cleaner than their play, but enough to send the third-seeded Cavaliers into tomorrow night's semifinal against second-seeded Wake Forest.

ACC Tourney begins for No. 3 Virginia

The No. 3 Virginia men's soccer team rolls into Germantown, Md. today to try to take home their third ACC championship in four years. Last year, the Cavaliers had an early exit as they were bumped out by the Clemson Tigers in a 4-1 rout, their worst loss of the season. Virginia hopes history does not repeat itself as it takes on the Clemson again in the first round of the ACC Tournament. This year's effort will not be any easier, as the ACC has once again proven to be the toughest conference in the country.
