Dukes stop women's lacrosse in NCAAs

It almost seemed as if this senior class deserved better. The Virginia women's lacrosse team (11-6) ended what they had hoped to be a slam-bang season with a dull thud May 10 when they lost to a James Madison squad, 11-8, they had trounced, 15-6, during the regular season. No one felt that thud more than Virginia's five senior members - Jill Hansen, Mills Hook, Jamie Haas, Lacey Aumiller and Libby Hoyle - who played their last game as Cavaliers in the loss to the Dukes. "I don't think anyone was ready to end the season," coach Julie Myers said.

Nothing can divide a town, or University Grounds for that matter, more than a quarterback controversy - a dilemma Virginia faces entering the 2001 season.

His Airness lacks front-office prowess,

The murmur in Charles Barkley's 314-pound gut whispers that Michael Jordan is 95 percent certain a comeback is in the cards (and he's not referring to the blackjack deck that cut a swathe through Jordan's pocketbook and image during the 1993 playoffs). Washington Wizards majority owner Abe Pollin won't pin it down to a specific figure, but he gets that same uneasy rumbling deep down in his digestive track. Even "His Airness" himself, who ballooned to 240 pounds after retiring, modified a previous statement in which he insisted he was 99.9 percent sure he would not suit up for the 2001-2002 season.
