Pitching crumbles in home loss

By Eric Kolenich | March 27, 2008

The Virginia pitching staff had no answers for George Washington yesterday, as the Colonials went on an offensive rampage and defeated Virginia 17-5. The loss was Virginia's first at home in 2008 and the 17 runs given up were the most the Virginia pitching staff has allowed since 2004, when the Cavaliers (20-5, 5-4 ACC) lost 22-3 at Miami. "We got ours tonight," Virginia coach Brian O'Connor said.

(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.

Solid second half keys Cav victory

By Sean Bielawski | March 25, 2008

It's great to be back. After a two-year absence, the Virginia women's basketball team took the court in Norfolk Sunday night for its first NCAA Tournament game since 2005, using a dominant second half to defeat UC Santa Barbara 86-52. The game came more than two weeks after Virginia's semifinal loss to North Carolina in the ACC Tournament, and the Cavaliers were a bit sluggish at the start of the contest. "I think our timing was a little bit off," coach Debbie Ryan said.

Four-run explosion in seventh propels Georgetown to victory

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.
