Cavalier women gear up for ACC title run

By Jonny Schwab | November 14, 2002

With yesterday's release of the prestigious HOOPS supplement giving the spotlight to ACC men's basketball, I feel the need to do a mini-HOOPS column of my own -- for the women. Over much of last winter, I was fortunate enough to cover Virginia women's basketball for The Cavalier Daily. I had the privilege of tracking a team that not only rose above the eighth-seeded ACC expectations, but also unexpectedly earned an NCAA tournament berth.

By Chris Kelly | November 8, 2002

The No. 11 Virginia men's soccer team is looking to end the season in strong fashion tonight as they battle against the Owls of Temple in Klöckner Stadium at 7. Virginia will honor seven of its seniors tonight as they play their final regular season game at home. A win tonight will give the Cavaliers an overall record of 13-5 and cap off a perfect home record of 12 victories. Temple (6-12-1, 3-7-1 A-10) just recently tied Xavier last Sunday and will be looking to step up their play against Virginia by ending their perfection at Klöckner.

Men's hoops takes the floor Sunday

By Jeremy Williams | November 8, 2002

So it begins. After a wait of what might have seemed like years for the Virginia men's basketball team, it is finally time to shove off last year's late-season collapse and begin anew, as they are set to begin their exhibition season Sunday against Big Apple Basketball. Many spectators will recognize this year's team, since there is a good chance that at least three players who were ineligible for last year's team will be on the court when the season begins Sunday at 3 p.m. After four weeks of banging against teammates in practice, the Cavaliers are ready to put the hurt on opponents for the first time since March, when they ended the season with three straight losses. "It will be good to get back on the floor," coach Pete Gillen said.
