Young was a standout Cavalier during her playing days. She holds 13 school records, including most games played (261), at-bats (881), hits (285), total bases (408), runs (149), doubles (51) and triples (24).

Young started every game of her career, including 69 games last season. She led the Cavaliers to a 52-17 record last year. Young also played every inning of every game in her career. She finished with a 152-111 record with the Cavaliers.
Young's numerous 2001 honors include being named to the All-Southeast Region first team, the All-ACC team and the Eastern College Athletic Conference all-stars.
Young also was named to the ACC All-tournament team for the fourth time in her career in 2001. She was just the second player in ACC history to accomplish such a feat.
The Cavaliers open the fall portion of their 2001-2002 season this weekend as they host the U.Va. Fall Tournament. Virginia, Hampton, James Madison and Longwood congregate at The Park in Charlottesville this weekend.
