By Meredith Hulley | March 17, 2008

Florida State came to Charlottesville riding a seven-game win streak.

In the first game, Florida State (21-9, 4-2 ACC) jumped all over junior pitcher Karla Wilburn on its way to a 9-1 victory.

Yellow Jackets sting Cavs in second half

By Paul Montana | March 14, 2008

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- When senior Sean Singletary scores 20 points and his support staff knocks down 39.1 percent of its 3-point field goals, Virginia is a tough team to keep up with. Georgia Tech's 13-24 shooting from the 3-point line and the 18 points apiece from seniors Anthony Morrow and Jeremis Smith, however, was enough for the Yellow Jackets to trump the Cavaliers' offensive output.

Virginia men claim conference crown

By Megan McDonald | March 12, 2008

It was supposed to be a rebuilding year. Having lost several of its best swimmers from the 2007-08 roster, the Virginia men's swim and dive team was not supposed to win the ACC Championship and it certainly was not supposed to do so by a margin of 273 points. Nevertheless, during Spring Break the Cavalier men dominated the competition, captured the 2008 conference crown and -- for the first time since 2004 -- the Virginia swimming and diving program swept the ACCs, bringing home both the men's and women's titles. "I was nervous going into this meet, especially after last year where I thought we were going to win for sure and we got kind of blown out," senior PJ Sullivan said.
