Virginia hosts Florida State tonight at Memorial Gymnasium

By Sean Bielawski | September 20, 2007

Coming off an impressive performance at home against in-state rival Virginia Tech, the Virginia volleyball team resumes conference play tonight against Florida State at Memorial Gymnasium. Though the Cavaliers (6-4, 1-0 ACC) hope to maintain the momentum they gained in a 3-0 victory against Tech in front of a season-high crowd Friday, Florida State (4-5, 1-0 ACC) comes to Charlottesville in a similar position after defeating rival Miami 3-0 in Tallahassee last week. The matchup features two preseason top-five ACC squads, with Virginia voted third and Florida State fifth before the season began.

Intramural sports under new leaders

By Sean Bielawski | September 19, 2007

During the past week and a half, many of you have probably trekked to The Park or the Aquatic & Fitness Center, where you more than likely ripped a single through a hole in the infield, caught a touchdown pass, intercepted a frisbee or drained a jump shot.

Made of solid Gould

By Kyle O'Connor | September 19, 2007

The man who has led the Virginia football team in scoring for the past two years stands just over six feet tall; weighs in at a (comparatively) delicate 204 pounds; and answers to the nickname "Beep." Think that will intimidate Georgia Tech Saturday?

Cavs' Peerman plows over defenders with determination

By Aaron Perryman | September 18, 2007

Junior running back Cedric Peerman, whom Virginia coach Al Groh called "Big P" during a press conference this season, must ignite fear in opposing defenders' eyes with his imposing size. Five-foot-10 and 208 pounds?, Peerman can be a load to bring down because of his stocky build.

Tar Heels fall victim to Gould's kick

By Aaron Perryman | September 17, 2007

Chapel Hill, N.C.-- In a wild game that featured a dramatic two-point conversion attempt to tie the game in the final minutes, a wacky field goal and a malfunctioning clock, it was clear that anything was possible -- even a road victory -- when Virginia traveled to North Carolina to take on the Tar Heels Saturday. That's just what the Cavaliers (2-1, 2-0 ACC) did, as junior running back Cedric Peerman picked up the final first down in the final minute on a third and three, clinching an improbable 22-20 ACC road win over North Carolina (1-2, 0-1 ACC). This win snapped Virginia's four-game ACC road losing streak.
