Team faces challenges against Georgetown, William & Mary

By Emily Bareford | April 22, 2008

The No. 16 Virginia baseball team will come into its matchups against Georgetown tonight and William & Mary tomorrow with renewed confidence following an 11th-inning win against Wake Forest Sunday. Virginia (31-11, 13-8 ACC) won two of three against the Demon Deacons, this weekend, overcoming a tough 14-3 loss Saturday night to win 3-2 Sunday in 11 innings, restoring lost confidence. "After you lose a game like you did [Saturday] night, there's some confidence issues," Virginia coach Brian O'Connor said.

Summer sports headlines

By Eric Strow | April 22, 2008

This is my last column of the year, so I wanted to start by thanking you for reading along. I hope I have provided some semblance of sports insight or humor (or both) to get you through your Tuesdays. Anyway, for this week, I figured I would talk about sports-related issues to get you through the summer.

Get it up

Big Green can't stop Virginia attack at Klöckner

By Megan McDonald | April 21, 2008

With a season-high four goals, senior attackman Ben Rubeor led the Cavaliers to a 11-7 win against Dartmouth -- quite fitting on a day reserved for celebrating the Cavaliers' senior players. It was junior attacker Danny Glading, however, who took it upon himself to get things going offensively for Virginia (11-2, 1-2 ACC). In the final four minutes of the first period, Glading's two goals and one assist helped propel the Cavaliers from a two-goal deficit to a two-goal lead. Virginia continued to extend its lead in the second quarter; with a hat-trick and one assist, Rubeor played a role in every goal Virginia scored that period.

When freshman centerfielder Jarrett Parker cracked the first pitch of his at-bat in the bottom of the 11th to deep left-center and sophomore pinch-runner Corey Hunt tagged up on third before darting home to score the game-winning run, the Virginia dugout emptied and piled on top of Parker.

It is interesting how the athletes making the most noise this season are the ones not even playing a sport.

By Meredith Hulley | April 18, 2008

With its home schedule complete, the Virginia softball team will head to College Park this weekend for a three-game series against Maryland. Virginia (13-31, 4-11 ACC) will come into the game more rested than usual, as it did not play a midweek doubleheader this week, as it has for most of the season.

Sports lingo 101

By Zach Rowen | April 17, 2008

Welcome to class. Today's topic is the history of sports phrases and traditions. It'll be a grab bag of sorts -- an eclectic mix of rituals and terms that have stuck with us throughout years of down-to-the-wire championship games, record-setting moments and slow-motion replays.

Get on up, it's bobsled time

By Kevin Zdancewicz | April 17, 2008

This is my fourth and final semester writing a column for The Cavalier Daily Sports section, and each of the previous three semesters have included a look at a motion picture from the genre that I have dubbed the "Family Sports Movie" (FSM for short). In honor of the Olympics later this year (even though they are the Summer Games), I am going to round out the series with a look at the 1993 bobsled FSM "Cool Runnings." (Note: As always, if you haven't seen "Cool Runnings" and plan to at some point in the future (what are you waiting for?), you might want to stop reading now as I plan to discuss the plot in detail and ruin the ending, as you will soon find out.
