Post-break surge gives Cavaliers the win

By Joey Mancini | March 16, 2005

Entering last night's contest, the Virginia men's lacrosse team had faced Mount St. Mary's just once before, a 19-8 Cavalier drubbing two years ago in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Despite a shaky offensive performance in the first half of last night's game, Virginia was able to jumpstart in the final 30 minutes to earn its second career victory against the Mount, 11-4.

10 reasons this column is not about Pete Gillen

By Bart Isley | March 16, 2005

I should feel compelled to write about Pete Gillen this week. As a friend of mine put it, "You've got to be hoping Gillen gets fired because that's like, four free columns." I should be chomping at the bit to jump on the bandwagon and rip Pete Gillen on his way out of University Hall -- Or, if I felt so inclined, bemoan the firing of a man who cared about this community as much as any other coach could and yet was the scapegoat for a program problems that transcended its head coach.

Gillen, Cavs bow out

By Becky Piedel | March 15, 2005

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- When J.J. Redick has an off day, it usually spells trouble for the depth-deficient Duke Blue Devils. But when Redick's picture-perfect threes took a sour leap from the bottom of the net to the back of the rim Friday night, Lee Melchionni didn't get a whiff of danger, he smelled an opportunity. The junior forward led Duke with 16 points as the eventual champion Blue Devils routed Virginia, 76-64, in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals at the MCI Center in Washington. Redick's line featured 4-17 shooting, including 3-12 from three, but Virginia's backcourt still pounced on the conference's leading scorer, oftentimes leaving Melchionni open on the perimeter. "J.J.

Virginia elevates level of play as March begins

By Adrian Vigil | March 15, 2005

GREENSBORO, N.C. Talk about a heartbreaker. The Cavaliers' 78-72 loss to the University of North Carolina in the semifinal round of the ACC tournament was just that, especially because they gave up a 17-point second-half lead in a game they controlled. Virginia dominated every aspect of the game but could not close out against the eventual tournament champions.
