Kirkwood's serving makes for Cavalier ace plays

By Kyle O'Connor | October 28, 2005

Blink and you've missed it. In the time it takes to read this sentence, sophomore outside hitter Sarah Kirkwood has tossed the volleyball towards the rafters of Memorial Gym, leapt to meet it and fired a serve over the net with enough spin to make Roger Clemens jealous.

Rogers returns to defense

By Anders Sleight | October 26, 2005

Vince Lombardi once said, "Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships." Thanks to the defense of the Virginia men's soccer team, the Cavaliers have limited their opponents to just 12 goals through 15 games, including 10 shutouts. Freshman defender Robby Rogers, a highly recruited player, was expected to contribute and start immediately upon his arrival at Virginia this fall.

While most University students were busy boosting their resumes at jobs or internships this summer, others were busy playing games.
