Cavs set sights on regional playoffs

By Clayton O'Toole | February 12, 2004

Virginia softball begins the 2004 season Friday with unfinished business to take care of. Following a 10-2 defeat to Florida State in the finals of the ACC Championships last season, the Cavaliers enter their 2004 campaign determined to claim the conference title that has eluded them since 1994. After missing the regional tournament for the last three seasons, Virginia must win the ACC championship or receive an at-large bid to make the tournament field this year.

Paul and Pete, two coaching peas in a pod

By Paul Crane | February 10, 2004

On the surface, Pete Gillen and I do not have much in common. I am not from Brooklyn, do not have red hair and have not been a member of a gold medal-winning team (Gillen was an assistant coach on Dream Team II). I certainly do not have a 10-year contract.
