Virginia victory puts Orange Bowl to rest

By Eric Kolenich | November 12, 2007

MIAMI -- After a season of heart-stopping victories, Virginia made it look easy Saturday night with a shut-out victory that spoiled the farewell party at the Orange Bowl. After 468 games over 71 seasons, the Orange Bowl went out on one of its worst -- the worst home loss since 1944 when Miami fell to Texas A&M 70-14. The Cavaliers (9-2, 6-1 ACC) scored early and often and never gave Miami (5-5, 2-4 ACC) a single chance to compete.

Virginia's guards expected to lead team to tournament

By Sean Bielawski | November 6, 2007

Last year, in her 30th season as head coach for Virginia's women's basketball team, coach Debbie Ryan led the Cavaliers to their 25th postseason appearance under her guidance, making the quarterfinals of the Women's National Invitation Tournament; however, the bar will be set higher this year, and an NCAA Tournament berth is expected. Ryan will look to her outstanding backcourt of senior point guard Sharneé Zoll and sophomore sensation Monica Wright to lead the team back to the Big Dance for the first time since 2005.
