Softball shakes off rough start
By Ashley Stanley | March 2, 2000While many Virginia students are looking forward to getting out of Charlottesville for Spring Break, the Cavalier softball team is looking forward to coming back to town. As they return home from a slew of rigorous road games to make their home debut in the Cavalier Classic this weekend, the Cavs believe they can still capture the Conference title after reaching the ACC Tournament Finals last year. Though the numbers might not reflect it - after 13 games the squad has a 2-11 record - this year's team is packed with a group of high-powered veterans and six hard-hitting newcomers capable of turning things around. "We're a little disappointed [that] we've started out slow, even though we know we've played some really tough games," Virginia Coach Cheryl Sprangel said.
