With leadership and legs, Spinner brings a new dimension to Virginia football

By Sam Le | November 20, 2000

Saturday, with his team desperately needing a win to stay in bowl contention, Bryson Spinner jogged into Scott Stadium and, in his second career start, played the best game of his short career and promptly righted what's been wrong with Virginia this season. I must confess I've been hard on the Cavaliers this year, but I've had reason to be.

Cav women's soccer loses in third round

By Lindsay Means | November 20, 2000

CHAPEL HILL, N.C.-If the Virginia women's soccer team had to have its season end sometime, Saturday night's 2-1 loss to North Carolina in the third round of the NCAA Tournament wasn't a bad way to go. Even with the odds stacked against them, the Cavs (11-8-1) proved they would not be pushovers.

By Jessica Garrison | November 17, 2000

Wednesday was a big day for Cavalier women's athletics, most notably sophomore swimmer Cara Lane, who won the 800-meter freestyle at the 2000 FINA World Cup in College Park, Md. Former Virginia swimmer Ed Moses, who gave up his NCAA eligibility but will return as a student in the spring, won the 50 and 200 breaststrokes in his first competition since winning a pair of Olympic medals in Sydney.

By Katie Jacob | November 17, 2000

When you think of women's college soccer, two words should come to mind: North Carolina. When Virginia thinks of what stands in the way of its run for a national championship, the same two words come to mind. Tomorrow night at 7 p.m.

Rivers leads 'Pack renewal as rookie

By Ben Beach | November 16, 2000

As he heads into Saturday's game at Virginia, N.C. State quarterback Philip Rivers is the current ACC Rookie of the Week. For some freshmen, that award could be the pinnacle of their first season, but for Rivers, this is the seventh time in nine chances that he has won that honor.

Cavs hope Brown is no ordinary recruit

By David Semler | November 15, 2000

What's in a name? Pete Gillen and the Virginia men's basketball team hope a lot. Newly signed high school power forward Elton Brown has a similar name - and the Cavs hope an equally effective game - as former Duke star Elton Brand. Brown, a senior at Warwick High in Newport News, Va., compares favorably to Brand, the No.

Linebacker doles out final Thweatt pops

By Dave Jamieson | November 15, 2000

Plenty of guys in his shoes would be more than content, but Byron Thweatt is decidedly frustrated. The senior outside linebacker leads Virginia in tackles as he rides down the home stretch of an exceptional collegiate career, but none of that matters much to him.

The Cavs finished fifth in the region, three spots away from automatically qualifying for Nationals in Ames, Iowa.

Underachieving Cavalier football

By Jed Williams | November 14, 2000

I've heard many a hypothesis as to how a football program ranked as high as sixth can so precipitously plummet in just two short seasons - how a team borderline elite and perennially powerful only 24 months ago can morph into mediocrity, or even worse, outright abomination. There's always the "superstar" theory, which informs Virginia fans that without Shawn Moore dissecting opposing defenses and Chris Slade destroying anyone in his radar, the Cavaliers simply cannot compete.
