Throughout her life, Carla Williams has always been preparing for the next step — the bigger step. The former collegiate basketball star has sought to stand out — even when growing up in LaGrange, Ga. — playing football and basketball with the boys in her local recreational center.
In the weeks following the tragic events in Charlottesville on Aug. 11 and 12, one could pass by any TV screen and see images of torch-wielding white supremacists marching down the Lawn, the graphic video of a car ramming into counter-protesters — killing one — and violence breaking out in the streets.
ESPN confirmed its decision Tuesday night to remove college football announcer Robert Lee from Virginia football’s home opening game against William & Mary on Saturday, Sept. 2. The game was slated to stream on ESPN’s digital ACC Network.
When women’s soccer coach Steve Swanson was growing up, he was a multi-sport athlete. At his high school in Michigan, he played soccer, basketball and baseball. But Swanson enjoyed playing basketball especially.
After Coach Bronco Mendenhall’s dismal 2-10 first season at the helm of the Virginia football program, plenty of changes have come this spring. This Saturday, the Cavaliers are set to host their Spring Football Festival, which consists of a practice open to fans that marks the culmination of spring practice. However, looking ahead to the final practice, the team has experienced several changes to the program.
According to Scout.com’s Evan Daniels, former Virginia junior transfer forward Austin Nichols is declaring for the NBA Draft and intends to sign with an agent.
No. 5 seed Virginia couldn’t put together a solid offensive performance against No. 4 seeded Florida, and saw its season slip away in the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament with a 65-39 loss. The 39 points the Cavaliers (23-11, 11-7 ACC) scored were their lowest point total of the season. The Gators (26-8, 14-4 SEC) will move onto the Sweet Sixteen next and face No. 8 seed Wisconsin at Madison Square Garden.
The No. 5 seed Virginia men’s basketball team pushed past its first round opponent, No. 12 seed UNC-Wilmington, to kick off NCAA Tournament action. The Cavaliers (23-10, 11-7 ACC) put together a comeback after trailing by as many as 15 points to overcome the Seahawks (29-6, 15-3 CAA).
No. 23 Virginia put up an impressive defensive performance as it upset No. 5 North Carolina, 53-43, in a Big Monday matchup.
Despite an uplifting jersey retirement ceremony for former Cavalier Malcolm Brogdon, No. 18 Virginia couldn’t muster a victory Monday night over Miami, as their losing streak reached four games.
Malcolm Brogdon started as No. 22 and came to Virginia from Atlanta, Ga. in 2011 relatively unheralded, despite averaging 25.7 points in his high school senior season.
With just 3.1 seconds remaining in the second overtime period, Virginia Tech senior guard Seth Allen drove into the paint, making a layup to put the final touch on an 80-78 win over Virginia.
No. 12 Virginia kept No. 4 Louisville’s offense at bay in the second half to pick up a 71-55 victory in a Big Monday matchup. The Cavaliers (18-5, 8-3 ACC) overcame the Cardinals (19-5, 7-4 ACC) for the second time this season and moved to 5-1 against Louisville since the Cardinals joined the ACC.
As the clock wound down on what would be the Cavaliers’ second consecutive loss to Syracuse Saturday afternoon in the Carrier Dome, it was hard not to think about last year when Virginia’s Final Four hopes were extinguished.
No. 9 Virginia dismantled its in-state rival Virginia Tech, 71-48, in a Wednesday night showdown. The Cavaliers (17-4, 7-2 ACC) showed off their defensive prowess against the Hokies (16-6, 5-5 ACC) and added a solid victory to their tough ACC schedule.
One tip-in of the basketball as the final buzzer sounded was all it took to change the result of the game for No. 12 Virginia, who lost 61-59 to No. 1 Villanova at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pa. The highly awaited matchup between the Cavaliers (16-4, 6-2 ACC) and the reigning NCAA Champion Wildcats (20-2, 7-2 Big East) did not disappoint.
