Big Ten power comes East

By Zach Rowen | August 25, 2006

The Cavaliers begin regular season play tomorrow afternoon against Indiana at Turf Field. Despite a disappointing end to last season that included six straight losses and an early exit in the conference tournament, Virginia rides into this season looking to compete in the ACC and boast their first winning season since 2001. Even though the Cavaliers and the Hoosiers have never met before, new head coach Michele Madison has seen plenty of Indiana during her tenure as head coach at Michigan State University.

Promise high for Cavs despite lack of depth

By Megan McDonald | August 23, 2006

As its season opens, the Virginia women's soccer team finds itself plagued by injuries, short two of its best players and barely able to field an eleven-person squad. Enthusiasm, though, is not in short supply. "Maybe it's because all of these challenges we have in front of us already, but I can't remember a season I have been more excited for," coach Steve Swanson said. In the exhibition games against Notre Dame and Michigan, Virginia only had 12 field players.
