By Cavalier Daily Staff | February 15, 2005

The Cavaliers track team competed in the Virginia Tech Challenge over the weekend as a tune-up for next week's ACC championships.

Virginia also brought home second-place finishes in the men's and women's distance medley relays, junior Kellen Blassingame in the 400 and sophomore Alex Tatu in the mile.

Virginia wins two of three-game series

By Margaret Sessa-Hawkins | February 14, 2005

It was the perfect day for a game of baseball in North Carolina, and the Cavaliers were playing a tie-breaking third game in a series against Wilmington with a pitching matchup between Wilmington's Thomas Benton against the Cavaliers' Jeff Kamrath. Since the Seahawks won Friday's game and Virginia took Saturday's, Sunday's matchup was especially significant.

Legacy continues

By Joey Mancini | February 14, 2005

I grew up in a family where three uncles attended the University of Virginia, and they and my parents (William and Mary graduates with the need to live vicariously through Virginia sports) always told me about the history of Cavalier basketball.

Virginia comeback falls short

By Adrian Vigil | February 11, 2005

It was a comeback fueled by two freshmen coming off the bench. Unfortunately, the comeback was too little, too late as the Virginia Cavaliers (16-8, 5-5) fell to the visiting Miami Hurricanes (12-11, 4-6) by the score of 66-60 last night. The freshman duo of Takisha Granberry and Denesha Kenion scored seven consecutive points that helped jumpstart the sluggish Cavaliers late in the second half.

Defense, team-play mark Virginia winning streak

By Kyle O'Connor | February 11, 2005

With March Madness inching closer by the day, Virginia coach Pete Gillen seems to have pulled out his recipe for a little late-season drama, one that includes a heavy dose of defense and a little home-court advantage. Coming off two nail-biting wins by a combined three points against ACC rivals NC State and Florida State, the Cavaliers are experiencing some self-assurance, a feeling that has been in short supply so far this season. "We've won a couple close ones, but you lose some, so I think when you win you get more confidence," Gillen said. He also highlighted the team's recent focus on defense after being consistently outscored over the course of the season. "We have to win with defense.

Making sense of muddled ACC

By J.D. Moss | February 10, 2005

What's happening around the ACC? This was supposed to be the toughest conference in the history of the league, one in which seven, yes, seven teams made the tournament. At one point, seven teams were ranked, the Virginia Cavaliers among them, but that number has dropped to just three: second-ranked UNC, sixth-ranked Wake Forest and seventh-ranked Duke. Conference coaches have been quick to point out that teams are just beating up on each other, whereas outside commentators look at the Big East and still see five ranked teams. Personally, I think it's hard to think anything but the former, as there were still seven ACC teams ranked the week before conference play started and five the week after conference play.

The Cain/Brown Factor

Starting at forward, a 6-foot-10 sophomore from Philadelphia, No. 32, Jason Cain. The mustachioed -- no, scratch that, the mustache-free Cain made his second-straight start last night, as Virginia coach Pete Gillen opted for beanpole over bulk in his starting lineup. Back up, you say?
