No. 11 Cavaliers bounce back at American, 16-4

By Matthew Morris | April 2, 2013

Tuesday afternoon in Washington D.C., the No. 11 Virginia women’s lacrosse team bounced back from a disappointing weekend loss to ACC-rival Boston College with a commanding, 16-4 victory against American. The Cavaliers (7-6, 0-4 ACC) scored the first 11 goals of the game and limited the Eagles (5-7, 3-0 Patriot League) to seven shots on goal in just the second meeting ever between the two programs.

Women's tennis topples No. 1 UNC

By Ryan Taylor | April 1, 2013

No. 7 Duke was able to halt the streaking Cavaliers’ 5-match winning streak by a tight 4-3 score Saturday, but Virginia quickly rebounded to knock off the nation’s top-ranked North Carolina squad 4-3 and trample North Carolina Central 6-0 the next day.

Terrapins top Cavaliers, 9-7

By Zack Bartee | March 30, 2013

The No. 17 Virginia men’s lacrosse team mounted a furious comeback in the final quarter of Saturday’s matchup against No. 2 Maryland, but the Cavaliers’ upset bid ultimately fell short as the team dropped its ACC-opener in front of 5,225 at sunny Klöckner Stadium.

Virginia blanks Tech, improves to 14-0

March 28, 2013

The Virginia men’s tennis team won its 96th consecutive conference match Thursday with a 7-0 demolition of No. 54 Virginia Tech. Though the Hokies could hardly be considered a serious threat to the top-ranked Cavaliers, a victory over their in-state rival was satisfying for the team nonetheless.

Softball hosts Boston College looking to end skid

March 28, 2013

The Virginia softball team takes on Boston College this weekend hoping to bounce back from last week’s sweep at the hands of Maryland. Heading into the series, the team has had a rare full week off to practice at home while also getting lucky to receive seemingly the first stretch of good weather this season.

Painful gratitude

By Fritz Metzinger | March 28, 2013

Back in January 2007, before I could grow more than a creepy strip of blond peach fuzz above my lip and when all I knew about the University was that its main building looked sort of like a brown Jefferson Memorial, I attended the New Orleans Saints’ 39-14 drubbing at the hands of the Chicago Bears at the NFC Championship game.

Cavaliers suffer season-ending home loss

By Daniel Weltz | March 27, 2013

From the moment the Virginia basketball team learned its season would culminate not in its second straight NCAA berth but rather in the NIT, the team set its sights on making the trip to historic Madison Square Garden that had eluded them earlier in the year. Wednesday’s season-ending 75-64 loss to Iowa at John Paul Jones Arena once again snuffed out those hopes, but the result was far more painful this time around.

Women's lacrosse heads to Chestnut Hill

By Matthew Morris | March 27, 2013

The No. 9 Virginia women’s lacrosse team is now 11 games into its 2013 season, and though the Cavaliers have registered wins over No. 16 Loyola (Md) and No. 19 James Madison, they have yet to prevail in the ACC. With losses to No. 1 Maryland, No. 3 North Carolina, and No. 6 Duke, Virginia finds itself in last place in the conference. This Saturday’s game at ACC rival Boston College presents an opportunity for a Cavalier breakthrough.

Cavaliers top tumultuous Tigers

By Michael Eilbacher | March 27, 2013

The No. 8 Virginia baseball team played Towson Wednesday night, but you may not have known that from a quick look at the field. With their school’s name blacked out in protest of a recent decision to cut the program, the Tigers likely played at Davenport for the final time. Behind a solid start from freshman Trey Oest, the Cavaliers closed out the series in impressive fashion, taking a 7-1 win.

Top-ranked Tennis hosts Hokies

By Kerry Mitchell | March 27, 2013

A thorough clobbering of No. 70 UNC followed Friday’s tight defeat of No. 8 Duke preserved the team’s undefeated record last weekend. The Cavaliers now look to continue the streak as they host No. 54 Virginia Tech Thursday.

Virginia vies for New York bid

By Fritz Metzinger | March 26, 2013

Two and a half weeks ago, Charlottesville bid farewell to its basketball team. After scrambling to erase a 17-point deficit and edge Maryland 61-58 in overtime March 10, Virginia left John Paul Jones Arena and a regular season-closing 17-game home win streak behind for the next weekend’s ACC Tournament — presumably before moving on to the NCAA Tournament.

Failure to finish

By Zack Bartee | March 26, 2013

For the first time in years, the No. 17 Virginia men’s lacrosse team began its season as an underdog. Ranked No. 7 in the preseason, there was no question that the team was talented, but after losing so much offensive firepower and leadership from last year’s squad, the Cavaliers were picked to finish last in the ACC by both the media and the coaches.
