Virginia splits doubleheader with Dukes

By Meredith Hulley | March 13, 2008

The Virginia softball team split a midweek doubleheader against James Madison University yesterday, losing the first game 4-0 before taking the second game 2-1. Virginia (7-13, 2-1 ACC) began the afternoon with a shutout loss to the Dukes in which JMU junior pitcher Jenny Clohan allowed only six hits and one walk over seven innings while striking out two. Clohan "threw a great game," Virginia coach Eileen Schmidt said.

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.

"We had a rough weekend against N.C.

Hope springs eternal?

By Eric Kolenich | March 11, 2008

"Sometimes, at the height of our revelries, when our joy is at its zenith, when all is most right with the world, the most unthinkable disasters descend upon us." While what happened to the Virginia football team the last two months might not be as bad as how Ralphie Parker describes the senseless devouring of his Christmas turkey by the Bumpus' dogs in "A Christmas Story," it's safe to say things were looking up for Virginia in early January. Sure it started on a sour note -- the Alex Trlica field goal that gave Texas Tech the Gator Bowl victory.

By Paul Montana | March 11, 2008

At 14-14 overall and 4-11 in the conference going into Sunday's game against Maryland, even a convincing win in the Cavaliers' final home game could not make things right.

The end of the Singletera

By Paul Montana | March 11, 2008

It has been a rough season for Virginia. High hopes of another trip to go dancing were slowly demolished in the cruelest of fashions as the Cavs consistently lost to conference foes by the smallest of margins.

Rewarding mediocrity

By Zach Rowen | February 28, 2008

Last week Michael Salmonowicz wrote a letter to the editor begging an answer to the question why The Cavalier Daily's sports section ignores excellence and rewards mediocrity. Salmonowicz referred to the seemingly insufficient coverage of the women's basketball team in comparison to its male counterpart, which seems to be a valid question-- as of Monday night, Debbie Ryan's squad stood at 20-8 (8-4 ACC) while the men had tallied a mark of 13-12 (3-9 ACC). Each week in the winter season, the Sports section devotes its Gameday page to a men's basketball game.

Team looks to finish season on high note

By David Moltz | February 28, 2008

Spring Break will be anything but restful for the Virginia men's basketball team -- the Cavaliers will play four ACC teams in nine days to finish the regular season. The Cavaliers (13-12, 3-9 ACC) enter the month of March with their first multi-game winning streak in conference play, two games, after a convincing 78-60 home win against N.C.
