The Virginia field hockey team will face a challenge against No. 1 Maryland at College Park, Md., at 1 p.m.
You knew him in high school. He was the guy who had good grades, a big smile and played every sport under the sun and played them all with confidence.
The Virginia field hockey team not only beat VCU, 2-0, yesterday in Richmond but dominated so completely that the Rams failed to register a single shot on goal. Virginia senior Jessica Coleman scored both goals to improve her season total to 10.
Displaying the increased maturity that has helped it rise to the top of college soccer, the No. 2 Virginia men's soccer team defeated a tenacious William & Mary side, 1-0, last night at Klockner Stadium. Despite being overmatched from the opening kickoff, the Tribe held the Cavaliers (6-0-1) scoreless during the first half.
The Virginia women's soccer team wasted little time extinguishing the Flames last night. The Cavaliers (4-1-1) got out to a quick, early lead that they never relinquished as they disposed of Liberty, 7-0.
Riding the strength of back-to-back shutouts, the No. 2 Virginia men's soccer team prepares to host William & Mary tonight at 7:30 p.m.
I took a very special trip this past weekend. I finally made my pil- grimage to Camden Yards, the home of Cal Ripken Jr.
Virginia vs. Maryland game time set for noon The Virginia football game against Maryland in College Park, Md., on Oct.
If you were to walk into the Frank McCue Center, which houses the Virginia football office, there is a good chance you will see one of the best players the football team has to offer. Whether studying a tape, asking his coaches a question or working on the game plan for the upcoming game, 6-foot-1, 235-pound junior linebacker Angelo Crowell spends most of his free time working on one facet of his game or another. For most college students, time not spent in classes or doing homework is a time to socialize or catch up on sleep, but not for Crowell.
When the Virginia women's soccer team stepped onto the field at Klockner Stadium for its first home game this season against Mississippi, something slightly odd seemed to be going on.
Florida State dropped 12 spots in the Associated Press college football top 25 poll this week after Saturday's stunning 41-9 loss to North Carolina.
Whether they have seen Jenny Harmon as a player or as a volunteer coach, in the weight room or in the classroom, those around her observe two qualities shining through all of her work: her intense competitiveness and her selfless desire to aid whomever needs assistance. Developing the maturity to meld these two potentially opposing characteristics together has made Harmon, a fourth-year junior co-captain on the Virginia women's volleyball team, into much more than a great athlete.
Two days after the Virginia football team upset Clemson, Cavalier coach Al Groh said that it is important for the team to stop thinking about the win and concentrate on the upcoming game against Duke. Groh stressed the fact that Duke (0-3, 0-1 ACC) is a tough team to face, even though the Blue Devils have yet to win a game.
Saturday, in the span of roughly 10 hours, a league commonly teased as "Florida State and the other eight" turned into FS-eeww and a band of unheralded and undaunted upstarts. Traditionally, schools like Maryland, Wake Forest and North Carolina boast about as much football luster nationally as Geraldo Rivera does journalistic credibility. If Saturday's startling, if not downright jaw-dropping, results are any indication, though, the aforementioned and their conference counterparts won't be blips for long ... more like fixtures on every fan's double Doppler. To think Clemson would fall, 26-24, at home to a Virginia team that needed every hair on its chinny-chin-chin to top I-AA Richmond is surprising enough.
Despite the absence of leading scorer Alecko Eskandarian from the lineup Saturday night, the Virginia men's soccer team showed no signs of distress as it soundly defeated ACC rival North Carolina, 2-0, at Klockner Stadium.
On the heels of its victory at N.C. State last week, the No. 11 Virginia women's soccer team tied No.
Amid patriotism and Tiger paws, the Virginia football team returned to the field after last week's cancellations and escaped with a last-second 26-24 upset at Clemson on Saturday night. With no timeouts left and 1 minute, 43 seconds left to play, the Cavaliers (2-1, 1-0 ACC) marched down the field from their own 44-yard line and scored the winning touchdown when sophomore quarterback Bryson Spinner found wide receiver Billy McMullen in the corner of the end zone with one second left in the game. "We practiced that play all week," Spinner said.
As a referee threw the 11th penalty flag of the night following Billy McMullen's last-second touchdown catch, every Virginia fan probably held his or her breath.
No. 12 Virginia field hockey fell to 2000 NCAA Champion Old Dominion, 3-2, yesterday at University Hall Turf Field after ODU managed to force 16 penalty corners to the Cavaliers' four. Senior co-captain Jessie Coleman and junior Katie Slocum both put the ball in the cage for Virginia (4-2), but it was not enough to top No.
