Sometimes high expectations can be daunting. Beginning the season ranked tenth in the nation, the Virginia men's tennis team was expected to achieve a certain level of performance.
Sometimes one game can change an entire season. The Virginia softball team hopes that last Friday's 4-1 victory over Hawaii to close out the Hawaiian Airlines Spring Fling Tournament will mark a turnaround point in a so far challenging year. The last three weeks have been difficult for the softball team.
During his years as a defensive standout for the Virginia men's soccer team, Kenny Arena's teammates nicknamed him "Donkey" for his unique but effective style of play.
In a fitting end to their regular season careers, the seniors on the women's soccer team did what they have all year Led by forward Lindsay Gusick's first- half goal, the Cavalier seniors helped No.
It was a tale of two halves for the offense of the women's soccer team in its 3-0 victory over Virginia Tech last night. The fourth-ranked Cavaliers (12-2-1, 4-2-1 ACC) dominated the Hokies (8-7-0, 3-5-0) statistically in the first half but had little to show for it.
With 15 seconds left in their match against the Virginia field hockey team, the Longwood Lancers made a frantic last attempt to score.As time ran out, Longwood hit the ball out of bounds, preserving an 8-0 shutout for Cavaliers. The win marked the end of a three-game losing streak for the field hockey team.The Cavaliers feasted on the Lancers, who entered the game with a 3-9 record and two consecutive losses.The 8-0 score marked Virginia's largest margin of victory this season, and tied the season mark for most points in a game.
Last season the Virginia volleyball team got off to a spectacular start. The Cavaliers had a perfect 16-0 record heading into conference play.
