Virginia travels north to take on Ohio, Ashland in back-to-back meets

By Paul Montana | February 2, 2007

Virginia (5-6, 1-1 ACC) hit its stride Sunday during its convincing 25-9 win over Virginia Tech.

The importance of these meets is not lost on the Cavaliers, as they head into the homestretch of the season.

Red Sox Nation: Don't ask me why

By Kevin Zdancewicz | February 1, 2007

I am a Red Sox fan. (Yankees fans, feel free to continue reading. I won't make any slights after this one: In 2004, your team blew a 3-0 series ALCS lead on Boston, who has won a World Series title more recently than New York.) Whenever I tell people I am a Red Sox fan, they immediately ask why.

Caponi aims for All-American

By Ernie Washington | January 31, 2007

Intensity, hard work and desire are three qualities sophomore Rocco Caponi brings to the mat. However, leadership may be the most valuable asset he provides for the Virginia wrestling team.

Sophomore Littles rises to occasion to lead Cavaliers

By Ben Gibson | January 31, 2007

Sophomore Lyndra Littles knew this off-season that Virginia's success would depend on her ability to improve her game after a promising freshman season. While most college students were enjoying summer break, Littles was in the gym working on conditioning and improving her shaky free throw numbers. Her role on the team would become even bigger when Virginia's top recruit, junior college transfer Aisha Mohammed, was declared out for the season after tearing her ACL weeks prior to the season opener against Rhode Island. "We have to help each other out," Littles said. Littles had to rise to the challenge, and she did so in a big way. The results are undeniable.

Yahner adjusting to new team

Talking the talk and walking the walk

By Jeremy Root | January 30, 2007

I can't get the thought out of my head. Gilbert Arenas tearing it up against the Blue Devils as a helpless Mike Krzyzewski pleads/whines to officials for more fouls to be called. While this dream has zippy chance of being fulfilled, Arenas' selection as a starter for the Eastern Conference All-Star team last week solidified what is becoming quite the special season for the budding superstar and my Washington Wizards. Ever since this past summer, when Arenas was left off the Team USA roster, the 6-foot-4, 210-pound point guard has been on a tear and has directed much of his motivation towards the coaches of the U.S.

Virginia loses fourth straight game

By Ben Gibson | January 29, 2007

The Virginia women's basketball team entered this week with aspirations of cementing their place in the ACC. Unfortunately, after four straight losses, that place may be in the cellar. The Seminoles added to the Cavalier misery Sunday afternoon as Florida State handed Virginia a demoralizing 63-47 loss to move the Cavaliers to 12-9, 2-5 in the ACC. The game followed a familiar script: For the third straight game, Virginia led at the half -- this time despite an awful shooting performance during the first 20 minutes.

The Virginia women's basketball team will escape the cold weather this weekend in Charlottesville as they travel south to take on a red hot Florida State Seminole team Sunday afternoon.
