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.

Cavs get serious before ACC faceoff against Terps

By Chris Marsh | September 29, 2005

For the Virginia football team, playtime is now over. The team will get its first true test of the season this Saturday when it travels to College Park to take on the Maryland Terrapins. The Terrapins (2-2), while not members of the ACC elite, still represent a step up in competition.

Returning stars spur victory

By Sam Dreiman | September 29, 2005

The Virginia field hockey team improved its record to 6-4 with a 3-1 win against the Longwood Lancers yesterday. The Cavaliers played an intense game with a new offensive strategy, which at times seemed unsuccessful but resulted in a win for Virginia nonetheless. Virginia's Katie Phillips, a senior from Texas, was the leading scorer with two goals.

U-21 U.S. team finishes seventh in junior world cup

By Matt Boucher | September 28, 2005

There is no denying the strength of ACC field hockey, but to find the best under-21 play in the world, you would have to travel about 5,000 miles south to Santiago, Chile. Unfortunately, you are also two weeks late. The BDO Hockey Junior World Cup recently finished with South Korea defending its title with a 1-0 win over Germany in the final. The real story, though, was the resurgence of the long-dormant American team, led by Virginia's Mia Link and Katherine Blair. The United States rallied to a seventh-place finish out of 16 teams, after finishing 14th in 2001.

Reserves provide energy infusion late in game

By Joe Calle | September 28, 2005

As the men's soccer season reaches its midpoint, heavy legs and decreasing stamina become a major concern for the Cavaliers. Fortunately, the team has been sparked by outstanding play from junior reserve midfielders Ian Holder and Will Hall.

Sports bring family together in fall

By Mickey Cloud | September 28, 2005

As the youngest of three, born into a family that comes together most animatedly when discussing a TV show or sports, I can tell you that the beginning of fall is the time when we become especially alive. Since fall officially fell last Thursday, nary a day has gone by during which I haven't received a phone call, text message or e-mail from somebody in my family -- just to talk sports. Yea, we're weird, but don't fault us for that.
