Last Sunday against East Carolina, No. 1 Virginia baseball’s batting order included the reigning ACC Player of the Week, last year’s conference batting champion, two players honored as Baseball America Preseason All-Americans and the 2013 ACC Freshman of the Year. Despite this, the player who gave the Pirates’ staff the most trouble in the Cavaliers’ 6-2 victory may well have been Matt Thaiss, the freshman designated hitter who ended the day 3 for 4 with a pair of doubles, two runs scored and an RBI.

When Virginia baseball coach Brian O’Connor pitched for Creighton in the early 90s, his mound duties included both starting and relieving.

The Virginia women’s basketball team fell to Syracuse Sunday afternoon with a final score of 84-75.

With 30 seconds left in the second half Thursday night at John Paul Jones Arena, Virginia senior guard Kelsey Wolfe held the ball near midcourt, her team up by 12 points and the pro-Cavalier crowd on its feet. The visiting Maryland Terrapins, the No. 6 team in the country, had conceded defeat in its final regular-season trip to Charlottesville as a member of the ACC. The basketball yet to be played would only make official Virginia’s most impressive victory of the year, an 86-72 win.

The Virginia women’s basketball team has yet to definitively answer the question. Virginia coach Joanne Boyle, however, is not concerned with the Cavaliers’ revolving-door at the position. As Virginia showed during an 85-68 win against No. 17 Florida State Sunday in which the team tallied 22 assists to 10 turnovers, the lack of a consistent presence at point guard is far from debilitating.
