Cavaliers dethrone Monarchs at home

By Bayless Parsley | April 16, 2003

After a 16-0 home winning streak came to an end with two weekend losses to Miami, the Virginia baseball team has kindled another winning streak at Davenport Field with their 8-3 dismantling of Old Dominion Tuesday night. Despite worries that the 17 runs scored in the seven-inning spectacle against the 'Canes Sunday would deplete the Cavaliers of their allotted run total for the week, Virginia (22-12, 6-5 ACC) knocked in four in the third inning and three in the fourth to secure the win. Virginia pitcher Josh Myers (0-0) stole the show in his first career start, shaking off early-game jitters to throw 4.2 innings in a five-hit, one-run performance.

Report says McPherson may have bet on games

By Joe Lemire and Melissa Silverman | April 11, 2003

The Florida State football program is facing new allegations of impropriety following the recent release of a law enforcement report, which suggests that athletic department officials failed to take disciplinary action after being informed of a player's gambling habits. The investigation, which focused on events surrounding former Seminole quarterback Adrian McPherson, was conducted cooperatively by the Florida State police, Tallahassee police and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The 500-plus page report, obtained by The Cavalier Daily, was entitled "Operation Coin Toss," and contains information suggesting that prominent FSU athletic administrators, includingBob Minnix, associate athletic director for compliance, andAndy Urbanic, athletic director for football operations, had information last spring that former Seminole quarterback McPherson might have bet on college sports and possibly even his own Florida State football team. McPherson was arrested on November 27, 2002, and charged with felony countsof grand theft and forgery.
