Cavs aim for .500 mark, host in-state foes

By Mickey Cloud | April 12, 2005

With a little under three weeks left in softball season, the Cavaliers are looking to make a late push to improve their postseason credentials. While a 16-21 record might seem to indicate the Cavaliers have not done much to help themselves, Virginia is 5-3 in the ACC and believes a strong finish can put the squad in position to make a run through the ACC Tournament, and possibly, into the Regional Tournament.

While not dead, Cavs are suffering

By Barney Breen-Portnoy | April 11, 2005

It is not time yet to write a eulogy for this year's Virginia baseball squad. There are however, plenty of reasons to be anxious about the trajectory this season is taking. The Cavaliers have already lost eight conference games -- two more than they did during the entire 2004 campaign.

Cavs take two of three games from Maryland

By Mickey Cloud | April 11, 2005

It was Theodore Roosevelt who said, "Speak softly and carry a big stick." It was Virginia senior catcher Jenn Wynn and sophomore pitcher Coty Tolar who followed that mantra yesterday at the Park as the Cavaliers (16-21, 5-3 ACC) blanked the Maryland Terrapins (19-12, 3-3 ACC) 2-0 to finish 2-1 in a three-game series with their ACC neighbor and rival.

Tar Heels unable to reverse losing trend against Cavaliers

By Kyle O'Connor | April 11, 2005

Despite the fact that Virginia men's lacrosse has beaten North Carolina 41 times dating back to 1938, Saturday's 15-9 drubbing of the Tar Heels will always hold a special place in the history books. The win, which boosted the Cavaliers' record to 8-1 overall, also was coach Dom Starsia's 138th victory at the University, making him the most successful men's lacrosse coach in school history. Starsia moved into first place after passing Jim "Ace" Adams, head coach from 1978-1992. "I think guys knew [the record was coming up] in the back of their heads, but no one brought it up all week," junior Matt Poskay said.

Cavs, 'Pack bring playoff atmosphere

By Chris Insolera | April 8, 2005

Monday may have been Opening Day for Major League players, but for the Virginia Cavaliers, the baseball season already is in full swing. After nearly two months of games, Virginia currently stands at 20-9 on the season, which at first glance may seem like an admirable record for such a young team.

UNC attempts role of season-spoiler

By Walker Freer | April 8, 2005

When the No. 3 Virginia men's lacrosse team takes on North Carolina Saturday, it'll get a glimpse of where it stood as a team at this stage last year. When the two teams met last season in Chapel Hill, North Carolina had a 5-3 record and NCAA aspirations.

Rematch with Duke remains final hurdle

By Shrayes Ramesh | April 8, 2005

Last April, the Cavaliers saw the traditional script of Virginia versus No. 5 Duke. For the first two years of coach Brian Boland's tenure, Virginia won more matches than the previous year before ultimately running into a wall against the Blue Devils in April.

Not your average lacrosse player

By Bayless Parsley | April 8, 2005

"Wait, who are you going to go interview again?" my roommate asked yesterday afternoon as we were chilling on our balcony. "Oh, I don't know, only someone who was in PLAYBOY last year!" I shot back. Sensing his initial shock, I decided to lay it on even more. "Not only that, but I've also heard reports that this person is the president of the Fashion Club at U.Va.

As youth lacrosse grows, so do pros

By Walker Freer | April 7, 2005

In the evolution of lacrosse, the final progression is the development of professional leagues. Baseball, basketball, football and hockey each only have one premier league in the United States, but lacrosse doesn't just have one league -- it has two.

Three-and-a-half weeks in: Back to square one

By J.D. Moss | April 7, 2005

I woke up Monday morning in horror. The Washington Post reported that Virginia offered its coaching job to Dave Odom and he would accept shortly. Thankfully, The Post's source was erroneous (see, it happens to the best of us), and Odom reiterated Monday night that, though he and Virginia athletic director Craig Littlepage had talked as friends about the Virginia job, he was not a candidate for it. That is not a knock on the 63-year-old former Virginia assistant but rather a statement that he is not the right person for the job.

Cavs fight Flames with firepower

By Margaret Sessa-Hawkins | April 6, 2005

At a school where the biggest news was Jerry Falwell's steadily improving condition and a nearby sign said "Go Tar Heels," it would be fairly easy to overlook a baseball game going on in a small field tucked away just behind the entrance to Liberty College in Lynchburg, Va.
