Injury ends Schaub

Matt Schaub, a former standout signal caller at Virginia and starting quarterback of the Houston Texans, reportedly will miss the rest of the NFL season with a Lisfranc injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Schaub suffered the foot fracture on a quarterback sneak late in the first half of Houston's 37-9 victory against Tampa Bay Sunday.

Cavs derail Lady Friars on road

The Virginia women's basketball team took an early lead and never looked back last night, defeating Providence, 55-38, to improve to 2-0 on the season. The Cavaliers jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead and for the second straight game went wire-to-wire without trailing. After the Lady Friars (0-2) drew within one at 5-4, a balanced Cavalier offense reeled off eight straight points as part of a 12-2 run during which five different players scored.

Virginia faces first foe

The Virginia women's basketball team opens its season at home tonight against Appalachian State in a game which will offer both a snapshot of where it is and a glimpse of what it wants to become. Many pundits have labeled 2011-12 a "transition" or "rebuilding" year for the Cavaliers as coach Joanne Boyle replaces the legendary Debbie Ryan, who led the program for the past 34 years. Although it will take time for a new coaching staff to install its system, Boyle plans to "tweak" her game plan to cater to Virginia's experienced core. The team returns its top four scorers from last season in senior guard Ariana Moorer, sophomore forward Ataira Franklin, senior forward Chelsea Shine and junior guard China Crosby, who alongside leading rebounder junior center Simone Egwu, form a balanced and veteran Cavalier starting lineup. The team's potential is apparent, but so are its shortcomings as it seems to lack a true go-to scorer and depth off the bench.
