I spent the entire week leading up to the race peppering my roommate with questions: could I go out Thursday night, how much do I run on Friday, what do I eat on Friday, when do I go to bed Friday night, what do I eat Saturday morning, what do I wear for the race and what do I do with this black thing that apparently goes in my shoe somehow?

This week, Virginia (24-5, 5-4 ACC) collected two wins, flooring George Mason 17-6 Tuesday before a tight victory against top-ranked Longwood, 4-3, Wednesday.

"[The Longwood game] showed the depth of our bullpen," Virginia coach O'Connor said.
The Virginia men's lacrosse team will put its seven-game win streak on the line this weekend as it hosts Maryland Saturday at Klöckner Stadium. The Cavaliers (7-1) held on to the nation's longest winning streak last Saturday with an emotional 7-5 victory in Baltimore over Johns Hopkins.

Let me start by saying that I'm ashamed. And because you probably weren't at Davenport Field Wednesday for the Cavaliers' contest against Longwood, odds are you have no idea why I'm so upset.
