There aren't many teams that begin their season with the toughest game of the year, but that's exactly what the women's ice hockey club is doing this year.
The Virginia men's and women's cross country teams will be competing at the pre-nationals meet in Terre Haute, Ind., the same location of the NCAA Championships this weekend.
The Cavaliers (12-5, 5-3 ACC) return home this weekend after a roller-coaster four game road trip.
A blustery evening at Klöckner Stadium that saw winds reach as high as 30 mph, didn't thwart Virginia (9-4-2, 4-2-1 ACC) as they advanced past in-state rival Virginia Tech (5-7-2, 1-5-1 ACC) 2-1.
Virginia (2-4, 1-1 ACC) returns home Saturday to take on ACC rival Maryland (3-2, 0-1 ACC), in the first game of a three-game homestand. The Cavaliers hope the game will be a turning point in their season.
There is one thing that all Virginia football fans can agree on: This season has been exceptionally frustrating to watch.
Though I believe most would agree that a two-day fall break would be much more appreciated, you have got to hand it to the administration for scheduling reading weekend to coincide with one of the biggest sports weekends of the year (and you thought it was the midpoint of the semester). The incredible sports lineup and the rainy weather of this past weekend meant I got little reading done but rather, took in a full day of college football, playoff baseball and NHL hockey Saturday and an early appetizer of NFL football Sunaday.
Exactly one month from today, Virginia basketball officially enters the John Paul Jones Era. The Cavaliers will take the floor against preseason top 15 Arizona Nov.
Given last week's loss to East Carolina, the mere thought of the upcoming Virginia vs. Virginia Tech football game should make most Cavalier fans queasy.
The old saying goes, "To be the champ, you have to beat the champ." Well the No. 4 Cavaliers did more than beat the defending national champion No.
The 2006 Atlantic Coast Conference men's soccer season is shaping up like a typical year in college basketball: most of the top teams in the country are from the ACC, and each team needs to win its home games in order to stay atop the rankings.
Throughout the last 30 years, Virginia has fluctuated between defining itself as a "basketball school" and a "football school." In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Virginia was a "basketball school", marked by the iconic status of Ralph Sampson and the program's success before, during and after his tenure. By the late 1980s and early 1990s, however, Virginia was a "football school," led by a No.
Well, that's what happens when you make Saturday's picks Tuesday. A trying 1-4 week last week brought the season record back to earth.
After a tough stretch of games that included a loss to top-ranked Maryland, the Cavaliers have had a lot of time to rest before their game tonight against No.
GREENVILLE, N.C. -- Virginia's defense surrendered a season-high 432 total offensive yards Saturday evening, as the Cavaliers fell 31-21 to East Carolina (2-3, 1-1 Conference USA) at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. "We were expecting East Carolina's best game of the season, knowing that it would take our best game of the season to counter that, and it certainly looked as if we got East Carolina's best game but obviously we didn't get our best game," Virginia coach Al Groh said.
The Virginia volleyball team is riding high on a five-match win streak after stealing two ACC road wins over Boston College and Maryland last weekend.
Unfortunately for Virginia, Thursday night held no surprises for the women's soccer team or the large, extremely wet, crowed assembled at Klöckner stadium.
After a strong showing against Liberty Wednesday night, the Virginia men's soccer team will travel to Durham tonight to face No.
The Cavaliers notched their first road win of the season last week with a 37-0 romp over Duke in Durham.
I am not much of a soccer fan, but I actually found the World Cup earlier this year to be somewhat entertaining.
