Orangewomen use 5-2 spurt to edge past No. 7 Virginia

When the No. 7 Virginia women's lacrosse team faced No. 10 Syracuse at home Saturday, it was the Orangewomen who came out firing, scoring two goals in the first four minutes of the game. Although the Cavaliers (1-1) bounced back and played a tight game, Virginia lacked the offensive urgency that Syracuse displayed and fell to the Orangewomen, 12-10. "Offensively we stood around and watched one person make it happen," Virginia coach Julie Myers said.

It seemed only appropriate that senior captain Dan Street ended the second game of a doubleheader in much the same fashion he had started the first game seven hours earlier Sunday. Street opened scoring in the first game, an 18-3 blowout, with a two-run home run in the first inning and ended the second game pitching the last four innings to secure a 5-1 victory.

Cavs win close game over Tribe

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - Between the freezing cold in Williamsburg and the awesome heat being thrown by William & Mary ace pitcher Whitt Farr, the Cavaliers had plenty to overcome on their way to a 5-3 victory last night. Virginia went scoreless for the first two innings, and the Tribe, who have been averaging over seven runs a game, also struggled, driving in one run in each of the first two innings. Virginia designated hitter Robert Word recognized the effect the weather had on both teams. "It was really hard to get into it and stay focused out there today," Word said.
