Making sense of muddled ACC

By J.D. Moss | February 10, 2005

What's happening around the ACC? This was supposed to be the toughest conference in the history of the league, one in which seven, yes, seven teams made the tournament. At one point, seven teams were ranked, the Virginia Cavaliers among them, but that number has dropped to just three: second-ranked UNC, sixth-ranked Wake Forest and seventh-ranked Duke. Conference coaches have been quick to point out that teams are just beating up on each other, whereas outside commentators look at the Big East and still see five ranked teams. Personally, I think it's hard to think anything but the former, as there were still seven ACC teams ranked the week before conference play started and five the week after conference play.

General-ly speaking, Cavs own exhibition

By Walker Freer | February 9, 2005

In its second scrimmage of the season, the Virginia men's lacrosse team dispatched Washington & Lee 17-1 at the Turf Field last night. Under the lights following an unseasonably warm day, the Cavaliers dominated throughout the contest, with freshman attackman Ben Rubeor leading all Virginia scorers with five goals in the first half.
