Virginia's weekend results fall in line with expectations

By Kyle O'Connor | November 7, 2005

The Virginia volleyball team did just about as expected on a road trip up the East Coast this weekend. 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.

Tall Terps eke out early season win, Cavs aim for revenge

By Kyle O'Connor | November 4, 2005

Yesterday, the shovels came out of the closet. Though it has not snowed in Charlottesville yet, these giant pads on sticks are used to teach volleyball players to hit around a block, something the Cavaliers will have to do plenty of Friday night when they travel to College Park to face the best team in the ACC. The Maryland Terrapins aren't just tall -- they are monstrous.

By Margaret Sessa-Hawkins | November 3, 2005

CARY, N.C. -- It was just 14 minutes into yesterday's game against Wake Forest when Virginia's Jen Redmond, on a pass from Sarah Huffman to Shannon Foley, kicked the ball along the left hand side of the net to give Virginia a 1-0 lead in the ACC quarterfinals.

Get excited: it's the "1st of tha month"

By Mickey Cloud | November 2, 2005

It's that special time of the month. As Bone Thugs 'N Harmony reminds us, "Wake up, wake up, wake up, it's the first of the month, so get up, get up, get up, cash those checks and come on." We're entering the 11th month of 2005, and a new month means new opportunities to be great, new chances for our sports teams do the impossible. And while one of the most underrated hip-hop groups of the 1990s may not harmonize to you at the beginning of each month, they certainly help me catch my breath, take a look around and see what's ahead in the foreseeable future.
