Virginia reels in highly ranked freshmen class

By Megan McDonald | August 25, 2007

For the incoming Class of 2011, tonight will be the first of many chances to play under the lights and in front of fans at Klöckner Stadium as the Cavaliers take on South Florida. "South Florida is a really strong team, and I think everyone's just geared up and ready to get out there," co-captain and senior defender Matt Williams said. Indeed, two years ago South Florida proved itself a worthy opponent.The Cavaliers and the Bulls met in the second round of the 2005 NCAA Tournament and were knotted at 4 after 110 minutes; Virginia squeezed through to the third round in penalty kicks. Tonight's contest is Virginia's last preseason match-up before facing Columbia in the season opener.

M Lax: Cavaliers discover new challenges in 2007

By Megan McDonald | April 27, 2007

There is little question that winning the 2007 ACC title will be considerably more difficult for this Virginia men's lacrosse team than for its 2006 counterpart. Indeed, the 2006 national championship team was undefeated and heavily laden with experienced seniors; had to contend with only two other ACC teams after the Blue Devils canceled their season; and, with a first-round bye, secured ACC-Championship status in just one afternoon with a victory against Maryland. "I don't know if this title would mean more than last year's, but it will definitely be more challenging," junior Ben Rubeor said.
