After NCAA snub, Cavs play on

By Sean McLernon | March 17, 2004

In Elton Brown's mind, there was still hope. Even after Virginia fell to No. 5 Duke in the quarterfinals in the ACC tournament to drop its overall mark to 17-12 and its record against ACC teams to 7-11, the junior forward felt that the squad still had the necessary credentials to receive serious consideration from the NCAA tournament selection committee. "This team showed a lot of character at the end of the year," Brown said.

Cavs fall to Heels in first round of ACC tourney

By Becky Piedel | March 16, 2004

GREENSBORO, N.C. --Field goal percentage -- not the opposing team-- proved to be the greatest antagonist to the Virginia women's basketball team in the ACC Tournament, as the Cavaliers shot a dismal 21.7 percent from the field in their 64-45 season-ending loss to North Carolina last week in Greensboro, N.C. Virginia (13-16) displayed its poorest shooting performance of the season against the Tar Heels, converting on only 4-30 attempts in the first half for 13.3 percent. "We got really good shots, especially in the first half," Virginia coach Debbie Ryan said.

Cavs need win at Maryland in finale

By Mickey Cloud | March 4, 2004

And just when you thought it was safe to count the Virginia Cavaliers out of the postseason picture, they go and pull one on you. They have won three games in a row and four of their last five. The Cavaliers are riding high off of an improbable winning streak that has included three victories over Top 25 teams, three game-winning three pointers by senior Todd Billet, an inspired, dramatic win on Senior Night over a hot No.

By Jessica Garrison | March 4, 2004

When Youth Dies for Loyalties Sake The Hallowed Memory of Love Abides. This inscription reads as startling on the pages of a newspaper as it does in the dim light of our University Chapel. The chapel might be the last place that you would expect to find a vital piece of our nation's sports history, but a little sleuthing will reveal just that.

Six titles leave swimmers jubilant, but not satisfied

By Joe Lemire | March 3, 2004

The call-and-answer chant of "'Hoos house? Our house!" was deafening. The poolside chorus of triumphant Virginia swimmers roared through chants of "U-V-A." The Good Ol' Song was never sung so jubilantly. The Virginia men's swimming and diving team was not a very welcome host this past weekend.
