With clipped wings, Eagles soar past Cavs

By Walker Freer | October 10, 2005

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- A day after the Boston Red Sox were swept out of the playoffs by the Chicago White Sox, Boston College brought solace to an ailing city Saturday, beating Virginia 28-17 and extending the Cavaliers' losing streak to two games. In the two schools' first meeting as ACC opponents, Virginia (3-2, 1-2 ACC) and Boston College (5-1, 2-1) wasted no time forming bad blood. A late chop-block executed by Virginia offensive tackle Brad Butler on defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka early in the third quarter led to two players, including Kiwanuka -- who two series later retaliated by punching Butler in the face -- getting ejected from the game.

Cavalier squad features two stars from Lone Star State

By Matt Boucher | October 7, 2005

Oil. Steak. Football. Field Hockey? Texas is not known around the country for its top-notch field hockey, but in certain pockets, the Lone Star State has produced some of the game's elite players. Virginia sports two of these players, senior Katie Phillips and junior Erin Hayes.

Cavaliers seek revenge from No. 2 Duke

By Kyle O'Connor | October 7, 2005

Things just seemed a little backwards for the Virginia volleyball team this week. The Cavaliers easily sent a mediocre Virginia Tech team packing 3-0 Tuesday in what would normally be considered a routine ACC contest.

Cavs attempt perfection

Improving to 4-0 in the ACC after Sunday's win against Miami, the Virginia women's soccer team will face North Carolina with the best record it has ever held in the conference at this point in the season.

Riddle me this: Virginia winless against UNC

By Sean McLernon | October 6, 2005

Here's a riddle for you: If the Virginia women's soccer team played North Carolina last season in the ACC tournament title game and the Cavaliers were crowned champions at the conclusion of the match, how is it possible that Virginia has never beaten UNC? My first guess involved UNC coach Anson Dorrance selling his soul to the devil and in exchange receiving assurance that there would never be any record of North Carolina's women's soccer team ever losing a game.

Dodging beer cans, taking résumés in College Park

By Mickey Cloud | October 6, 2005

Last weekend, as I sat in the Virginia section of College Park's Byrd Stadium, one of the country's oddest football stadiums, there was only one thought going through my mind: Wow. Not because the Cavaliers were "shell-shocked" as the sports page called Saturday's 45-33 loss to the Turtles of Maryland.

Terps shell-shock Virginia 45-33

By Barney Breen-Portnoy | October 5, 2005

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Virginia came into College Park looking to legitimize its top-20 ranking. The Cavaliers, however, looked nothing like an elite team in Saturday's 45-33 loss to Maryland and consequently now face increased scrutiny and uncertainty heading into a difficult portion of their schedule. Powered by the arm of Sam Hollenbach and the legs of both Lance Ball and Keon Lattimore, Maryland's offense shredded Virginia's defense to pieces.

Cavaliers shut out No. 2 North Carolina 2-0

By Robert Amanfu | October 5, 2005

Two second-half goals were all Virginia needed to overcome the stubborn resistance of then-No. 2 North Carolina and end the Cavaliers' alumni weekend on a high note. It's been 28 years since the Tar Heels earned a significant result at Klöckner Stadium, and, with the class of 1969 and 1989 in attendance, the Cavaliers ensured the streak stayed intact with a solid display, especially in defense. North Carolina has been the class of the ACC this season and showed why in the first half. The much vaunted strike duo of freshman Yannick Reyering and junior Adam Cristman were kept fairly quiet, with the Tar Heel defense doing a good job of running down space and disrupting Virginia's midfieldrhythm.

ACC schedule provides chance for payback

By Ernie Washington | September 29, 2005

Injuries are never good for a team at any point during the season. They are especially detrimental when they occur right before the heart of the conference season. This is the problem the women's volleyball team faces right now.
