By Clayton O'Toole | April 5, 2004

For a softball team whose season-long goal has been to make the regional tournament, the Cavaliers certainly are making things difficult for themselves.

New ticketing system just what Virginia needs

By Joe Lemire | March 31, 2004

As a three-year member of the 'Hoo Crew and as a rabid basketball fan who hasn't missed a non-winter break home game since first year, I would like to endorse the Athletic Department's proposed online basketball ticketing system.
