Virginia records two shutouts

By Elizabeth Newell | September 6, 2004

The Virginia men's soccer team wanted to prove what a difference a year can make -- and they did just that. By shutting out their two opponents, Marshall and Long Island, in this weekend's Virginia Soccer Classic, the Cavaliers proved that their sophomore goalie, Ryan Burke, and their veteran defensive line have only gotten stronger with time. By scoring five goals in two games, the Cavaliers proved that a year's experience puts balls in the net.

Virginia plans to run over Temple in season opener

By Jeremy Root | September 3, 2004

When the No. 16 Cavaliers travel to Philadelphia tomorrow to face the Temple Owls in the season opener, Virginia's offensive game plan will be a simple one: run the football. Boasting an experienced offensive line that returns six starters from a year ago and a gifted trio of running backs, it comes as no surprise that Temple will see a lot of Wali Lundy, Alvin Pearman and Michael Johnson. "We going to pound the rock, of course," Pearman said.

Washington key to Temple offense against Cavs

By Joe Lemire | September 2, 2004

Warren Moon's days at the helm of the old Houston Oilers' run-and-shoot offense may be over, but he may have a new collegiate counterpart in Temple's Walter Washington. The junior from Daytona Beach, Fla., emerged as the Owls' starting quarterback and most dangerous offensive weapon in the second half of last season, finishing the year as both the team's highest-rated passer (111.4) and its leading rusher (579). In Temple's final three games -- all against nationally-ranked opponents -- Washington ran for 151 yards against Virginia Tech, threw for 278 yards against Pittsburgh and rushed for 117 yards and four touchdowns against West Virginia. He quickly became one of the Big East's most productive players -- something that certainly hasn't escaped the notice of the Virginia coaching staff. "They've got what all teams want to have: a really good quarterback," coach Al Groh said of Temple.

University catching Orange Fever with start of college football

By J.D. Moss | September 2, 2004

I really didn't want to write about football. I tried to come up with something else, and there are certainly some noteworthy events around the sports world: USA Basketball's loss in the joke of a sport called Olympic basketball, Barry Bonds' quest for 700 homers in the midst of perhaps the greatest single season in baseball history, the NFL preseason (noteworthy, yes, but miserable to watch). The bottom line, however, is that football is all anyone can and wants to talk about in Charlottesville.

Virginia couldn't have asked for a better going away present. Propelled by senior Lindsay Gusick's two goals, the Cavaliers downed Liberty 5-0 Wednesday night as they prepared for a road trip to top-25 rival West Virginia this weekend.
