Cav midfield moving past suspension of key player

By Ben Gibson | October 19, 2006

While the Virginia men's soccer team pulled off a stunning 1-0 victory three weeks ago against the previously unbeaten Clemson Tigers, they also suffered a loss.

While Gelnovatch kept quiet about the cause of Barlow's suspension, one thing was clear: The Virginia midfielders would have to step up. Last season, Barlow led the team in assists and was third in points.
