Stars return to Virginia squads this fall

Given last season’s banner success for Virginia Athletics, the University is buzzing with anticipation for the fall season. Fall sports will begin in just a few days and though new faces are sure to make an impact on the Cavalier community, many Virginia squads will look to returning stars to lead them to victory.

Women's soccer ready for national title run

The leaves are changing, the students are returning, and the corner is draped in Cavalier orange and blue. Though many things change from year to year, one thing has stayed the same for Cavalier fans: a continuously successful women’s soccer team.

Midsummers Minute Pt. 4

With the great success of our athletics department last year — in the Directors’ Cup standings, which ranks Division I schools by their top-10 finishes in both men’s and women’s sports, Virginia finished fourth — it’s hard not be excited about what the 2014-15 year holds.

Midsummers Minute Pt. 1

To keep you briefed on all that’s going on this summer, we’re bringing you a new series that will condense, analyze and contextualized all the latest sports developments. Welcome to the first-ever Midsummers Minute. For this first week, we’ll focus on Virginia athletes — or rather, those who have since turned in their jerseys to join professional teams.

Thanks for the memories, Virginia Baseball

So much more than John Norwood’s rocket home run off junior closer Nick Howard happened to Virginia baseball in 2014. The stunned feeling one felt after that play was powerful, but it cannot override the emotion many fans likely felt watching their team play this year: Cavalier pride.


	Joe Harris, shown shooting a free throw against Maryland, will join Kyrie Irving and Andrew Wiggins in Cleveland.

Cleveland Cavaliers take Joe Harris in NBA Draft

The Cleveland Cavaliers Thursday night chose Joe Harris with the 33rd pick of the 2014 NBA Draft. League commissioner Adam Silver announced the selection on-stage at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall. The standout guard becomes the Virginia’s highest-picked player since Roger Mason, Jr., who went 31st overall to the Chicago Bulls in 2001.


	Freshman shortstop Daniel Pinero helped Virginia rally from a two-run deficit with an RBI single in the sixth, but Vanderbilt delivered a knockout blow two innings later.

Thwarted in Omaha

The Virginia baseball team dropped a 3-2 heartbreaker to Vanderbilt Wednesday night at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, falling just short in its quest to capture the 2014 NCAA Baseball Championship.


	Sophomore left-hander Brandon Waddell came up big for Virginia, pitching a complete game with the Cavaliers facing elimination.

Virginia draws even in Omaha

Waddell’s series-leveling gem, coupled with Virginia’s 10 hits against Vanderbilt junior right-hander Tyler Beede, means that the Cavaliers will be back at TD Ameritrade Park Wednesday night at 8 p.m. for a chance to seize college baseball’s national championship.


	Sophomore right-hander Josh Sborz tossed five strong innings between Friday night and Saturday afternoon in the Cavaliers’ milestone win.

Virginia advances to College World Series Finals

The Virginia baseball team walked off the field on Saturday afternoon at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha the winner of 52 games in 2014 and 463 since coach Brian O’Connor arrived in Charlottesville 11 years ago. Virginia’s 4-1 storm-delayed victory against Mississippi, however, was not just one more in a long list of wins. Behind gutsy sophomore right-hander Josh Sborz, dominant relief pitching and resilient offense, the No. 3 Cavaliers (52-14, 22-8 ACC) advanced to the College World Series Finals for the first time in program history.
