Cavaliers shut out No. 2 North Carolina 2-0

By Robert Amanfu | October 5, 2005

Two second-half goals were all Virginia needed to overcome the stubborn resistance of then-No. 2 North Carolina and end the Cavaliers' alumni weekend on a high note. It's been 28 years since the Tar Heels earned a significant result at Klöckner Stadium, and, with the class of 1969 and 1989 in attendance, the Cavaliers ensured the streak stayed intact with a solid display, especially in defense. North Carolina has been the class of the ACC this season and showed why in the first half. The much vaunted strike duo of freshman Yannick Reyering and junior Adam Cristman were kept fairly quiet, with the Tar Heel defense doing a good job of running down space and disrupting Virginia's midfieldrhythm.

By Ernie Washington | September 29, 2005

By Chris Marsh | September 29, 2005

For the Virginia football team, playtime is now over. The team will get its first true test of the season this Saturday when it travels to College Park to take on the Maryland Terrapins. The Terrapins (2-2), while not members of the ACC elite, still represent a step up in competition.

U-21 U.S. team finishes seventh in junior world cup

By Matt Boucher | September 28, 2005

There is no denying the strength of ACC field hockey, but to find the best under-21 play in the world, you would have to travel about 5,000 miles south to Santiago, Chile. Unfortunately, you are also two weeks late. The BDO Hockey Junior World Cup recently finished with South Korea defending its title with a 1-0 win over Germany in the final. The real story, though, was the resurgence of the long-dormant American team, led by Virginia's Mia Link and Katherine Blair. The United States rallied to a seventh-place finish out of 16 teams, after finishing 14th in 2001.

Reserves provide energy infusion late in game

By Joe Calle | September 28, 2005

Sports bring family together in fall

By Mickey Cloud | September 28, 2005

As the youngest of three, born into a family that comes together most animatedly when discussing a TV show or sports, I can tell you that the beginning of fall is the time when we become especially alive. Since fall officially fell last Thursday, nary a day has gone by during which I haven't received a phone call, text message or e-mail from somebody in my family -- just to talk sports. Yea, we're weird, but don't fault us for that.

Williams emerges as go-to receiver for Cavs

By Bayless Parsley | September 27, 2005

In Al Groh's eyes, a player usually doesn't start to come into his own until his third year. Two years as a newcomer breed familiarity; two years of breeding familiarity builds the confidence that Groh needs to see out of a veteran player. As last semester's spring practice turned to training camp, and training camp turned to the season opener, the question of which Virginia receiver was going to be Marques Hagans' go-to guy was about as certain as the status of Ahmad Brooks' knee. Of the three main receivers being tracked on radar as the Western Michigan game approached, only senior Ottowa Anderson had tallied more than 60 career receptions -- and he had spent the entirety of 2004 selling La-Z-Boys in Norfolk. Fontel Mines showed promise as a big body receiver in the prior season, but had that big body taken out of commission early.

Giving the Little Giants the credit they deserve

By Bayless Parsley | September 26, 2005

Seeing as 95 percent of the headlines from the Syracuse game referenced Al Groh's infamous "Risky Business" quote, our football coach may now be under the illusion that he could pose as the next Hollywood hunk. I guess I'll have to be the one who bursts his bubble, because Tom Cruise, Sr.
