Zoll, Cavaliers keep ball under control in paradise

By Matt Boucher | December 1, 2005

Despite falling to Minnesota in the final minute of the championship game of the Paradise Jam Saturday, the women's basketball season has soared out of the gate. The team competed in the annual tournament in the Virgin Islands during Thanksgiving Break, compiling a 1-1 record while there. Virginia's current record stands at 3-1, as the team downed George Washington to open the season and Wright State in its home opener before heading to the Caribbean.

Injuries -- the real football scapegoat

By Sean McLernon | December 1, 2005

Tony Bennett left his heart in San Francisco. Maybe some lucky Virginia football fan making the trek out there for the Emerald Bowl will be able to find it and replace it with the one the Cavaliers broke this season. The Cavaliers finished second in the ACC in the 2002 football season with a 6-2 record.

By Barney Breen-Portnoy | December 1, 2005

While Virginia's 72-57 victory over Northwestern Wednesday night should not send Virginia fans running to buy tickets for the Final Four, it was just the type of victory that a rebuilding program such as Virginia needs in order to maintain momentum on the long road to excellence.

Mediocre November play hampers Virginia

By Bayless Parsley | November 30, 2005

The month of November is when a college football team looks within and reveals its true colors. Thanksgiving time marks the end of a long season for the fans and an even longer one for the players and coaches -- what seemingly starts in August really begins in January if you pay attention to the action behind the scenes.
