Defensive end tandem turns up the heat in practice

By Bayless Parsley | November 9, 2005

Young Cavaliers shine in victory over Temple

By Walker Freer | November 7, 2005

Virginia fans got a glimpse of the future Saturday. And it's a future that won't include four-year mainstays Marques Hagans, Wali Lundy, Connor Hughes or D'Brickashaw Ferguson. Nope, the future of Virginia football is going to look a lot different -- at least on the offensive side of the ball.

On their first stop, in College Park to face a strong Maryland team, the Cavaliers (16-9) fell 3-1 to the Terrapins -- and, as predicted, blocking and kills made the difference. "Blocking is going to be a huge issue against Maryland," outside hitter Emily Perilli said before the team headed north. Sure enough, although three of Virginia's starters racked up double figures in kills, the Terps' 26 block assists combined with a .323 hitting percentage were enough to stop the Cavaliers short.
