Dynastic Cav men swim for seventh straight ACC title

By James Wagner | February 23, 2005

When the Virginia swimming and diving team's six straight ACC title streak began in 1999, the margin of victory over second-place Florida State was a measly 6.5 points. Last year, the margin of victory over second-place Florida State reached its peak at an astounding 311.5 points. "Over the last couple of years we have pulled away from everybody else," senior Michael Raab said. Based on the performance of the last six years, there is no reason to believe that this year's ACC Championships will not be the same for the Virginia swimming and diving team.

Forbes ignites Virginia

By Mike Speight | February 18, 2005

After last Wednesday's game against North Carolina, it was the same story just a different month for Virginia coach Pete Gillen and the Cavaliers as their new offense was dramatically shut down by a highly talented Tarheel squad. However, Virginia fans have reason to remain hopeful as the Cavs have shown some signs of life, evidenced by the play of sophomore guard Gary Forbes, who scored in double figures for the second consecutive game.
