Barbers always welcome at U.Va.

By Ernie Washington | October 4, 2006

By Ernie Washington Cavalier Daily Associate Editor Nine years after receiving their diplomas, twins Tiki and Ronde Barber returned to Charlottesville for arguably their greatest achievement: A $1 million donation to the University of Virginia. But with all their work off the field, it can be easy to forget that both brothers still excel on the gridiron. After being honored as co-male athletes of the year out of Cave Spring High School in Roanoke County, Va., the Barbers decided to attend The University of Virginia even though their parents attended Virginia Tech.

Working out and picking winners

By Matt Boucher | October 4, 2006

From Charlottesville to Tokyo to Hollywood, all your big money stays and plays with me! Perfect again last week, but I'm not interested in gloating; gambling gods are a fickle bunch. Meanwhile, Virginia gets an absolute slap in the face from Vegas, coming in at a 6.5-point underdog to East Carolina Saturday. Sure we still have a lot of questions, and we're historically a lousy road team, but 6.5 points?

Orange shirts versus Redskins

By Jeremy Root | October 3, 2006

I was lucky enough to be able to spend my last Sunday afternoon in a box suite at FedEx Field where I watched my boys, the Washington Redskins, pull off a thrilling 36-30 overtime victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. As I reminisce about that glorious Sunday afternoon that put the Redskins at 2-2, and right in the thick of things in the NFC East, a few thoughts come to mind about the striking differences between watching a game at Scott Stadium versus FedEx Field. No.

Medical redshirts reduce numbers for Cavaliers

By Megan McDonald | October 3, 2006

While Virginia coach Steve Swanson says he cannot recall an injury-free season during his career, this season the womens' soccer team seems particularly plagued by them. Soccer, which never fails to pit players against one another in midair head-to-head combat, has a reputation for producing season-ending injuries.

Virginia spears woeful Blue Devils

By Barney Breen-Portnoy | October 2, 2006

By Barney Breen-Portnoy Cavalier Daily Senior Associate Editor DURHAM -- Thanks to a dominant defensive effort, Virginia halted its two-game losing skid Saturday with a 37-0 victory over Duke at Wallace Wade Stadium. "We're happy for the players that they have something to really be pleased with themselves about," Virginia coach Al Groh said.

At least we aren't Duke

By Barney Breen-Portnoy | October 2, 2006

Virginia, at least briefly, halted the downward trajectory of its season Saturday by beating down a wretched Duke squad 37-0, in a game that was about as tedious to watch as anything on C-SPAN. You haven't seen a terrible football team play until you've attended a Duke game, and you haven't seen a pathetic football atmosphere until you've spent a Saturday afternoon at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham.

By Ben Gibson Cavalier Daily Associate Editor Freshman midfielder Jonathan Villanueva could not have picked a better time to score his first goal of the year. In the 76th minute, sophomore forward Yannick Reyering found Villanueva with a long ball from midfield.

Virginia to play tonight against Miami

By Megan McDonald | September 29, 2006

Following last night's draw in Tallahassee, Fla., the Virginia women's soccer team heads even farther south Sunday to take on the Miami Hurricanes. Virginia embarked on the season's first conference road trip with a 2-0-0 ACC record, marking the fourth consecutive year the Cavaliers have defeated their first two conference opponents. "It was great to get these [wins] under our belt at home before we head[ed] out on the road to Florida," sophomore Jen Redmond said. In their two previous away games, the Cavaliers fell in overtime to the Tennessee Lady Volunteers, 1-0, and tied the West Virginia Mountaineers, 1-1. The Hurricanes are 6-3-0 on the season but just 0-2-0 in the ACC following a pair of losses at the hands of N.C.

Cavs to host No. 2 Clemson Saturday

By Eric Strow | September 29, 2006

After a narrow defeat at the hands of ACC foe North Carolina last Saturday, the Virginia men's soccer team would have liked to bounce back with a decisive win against the American Eagles.
