(Holy) See It My Way

By Cavalier Daily Staff | March 26, 2008

Dear Pope Benedict XVI, How's it going? I'm guessing you're in a pretty good mood after your big day last weekend (with your boy Christ rising from the dead and everything) so I wanted to take the opportunity to ask you a favor. (On a side note, I'd also like a pair of those sweet red loafers, so if you could stick some size 12s in the mail that would be awesome). But back to my main point.

By Meredith Hulley | March 21, 2008

The Virginia softball team got off to an inauspicious start in the Cavalier Classic Thursday afternoon against Georgetown, as the Hoyas broke a 0-0 tie in the final inning with four runs to defeat the Cavaliers 4-0. Virginia (7-17) started off strong, in part because of an impressive pitching performance from junior starting pitcher Karla Wilburn, who threw six scoreless innings before giving up three runs in the top of the seventh.
