Field hockey team remains unbeaten

By Brian Smith | September 16, 1999

The Cavalier field hockey team found a way to add to their undefeated streak, pulling out a 2-0 victory over the Richmond Spiders (4-2) in the pre-hurricane conditions at U-Hall Turf Field last night. After a slow start on the rain-drenched artificial surface, the fifth-ranked Cavs (5-0) began the play that has put them in the win column all season. "We got out to a slow start, but that is because Richmond really came out and came ready to play," Virginia coach Jessica Wilk said.

By John Moorehouse | September 15, 1999

Dick Stockton's career on the pro tennis tour may be over. But the Virginia men's tennis coach's success on the professional level is far from complete. Last week, Stockton and Tom Gullickson won the Men's 45-and-over Doubles competition at the U.S.

Welsh looks to heal wounds of defense

By Isaac Gradman | September 14, 1999

Of all the questions facing Cav coach George Welsh this week as he looks to improve upon Saturday's collapse at Clemson, the biggest is "Where do I begin?" After being shellacked by the Tigers in Death Valley 33-14, Welsh is left to look at a secondary that had multiple coverage breakdowns, a defensive line that made mental errors and lacked a pass rush and an offense that was blanked in the first half. Welsh would never be in such a position, however, had it not been for the rash of injuries and suspensions his team has faced this season. "Between the academic suspensions, the assault suspensions and the injuries, we're hurting," Welsh said.

New coach, same hopes for Cavs

By Brian Smith | September 14, 1999

Virginia field hockey begins this season with a changing of the guard -- new faces, a new attitude and a new head coach. Heading the Cavs' charge to continue the recent success that has become synonymous with the Virginia (4-0) field hockey program is new head coach Jessica Wilk. Wilk comes in to take over for former head coach Missi Sanders, who resigned as head coach last spring to spend more time with her young children.

Young runners start off strong

By Jon Prober | September 13, 1999

This weekend's men's and women's cross-country races at Darden Towe Park in Charlottesville provided the teams with a chance to start their season at a place they won't have the opportunity to race at again this season -- home. The Cav men's and women's squads took advantage of their 1999 home debut by placing second in the women's race and third in the men's battle. "I'm enthused -- it was a good beginning for us even though we're real young," Cav cross-country coach Evan "Buz" Male said. The Virginia women scored 57 points to earn the runner-up position to James Madison's 19 and the men tallied 84 points to finish behind Liberty's 15 and William & Mary's 50. "The women did a good job to come in second, they ran tough," Male said.

Tigers knock down Cavaliers, 33-14

By Isaac Gradman | September 13, 1999

CLEMSON, S.C.--When a bruised secondary already thin on veterans goes up against a fast-paced offense that often features five receivers, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to do the math.

Mistakes, poor execution add up to tough loss

By John Moorehouse | September 13, 1999

CLEMSON, S.C.--With 6:11 to go in the third quarter and the Tigers holding a gargantuan 33-0 lead, the ABC affiliate in Clemson decided to cut away to the game between Notre Dame and Purdue. It was only then that Virginia succeeded in finding the end zone. That kind of too little, too late success on offense embodied what was a very forgettable day for Virginia football. So what happened exactly?
