Virginia hopes to avenge past losses

By Abbey Hendricks | October 29, 2010

The Virginia volleyball team begins the back end of conference play this weekend, taking on Miami and Florida State at Memorial Gymnasium. The Cavaliers (10-11, 4-7 ACC) are hoping to turn the tables on the Hurricanes and Seminoles, who both decisively defeated the Cavaliers at their respective home courts in September. When the Cavaliers faced Miami, they boasted three players with double-doubles and five who tallied double-digit digs.

Dimas continues to turn heads

By Matt Conover | October 28, 2010

A walk-on who had to claw his way onto the starting squad, Ari Dimas has become an unlikely yet pivotal piece of the men's soccer team's starting 11. Dimas, a sophomore midfielder, has scored only two goals on the year, yet both have been game-winners.

Rangers lead the way

By Ashley Robertson | October 28, 2010

Coach always knows best

By Will Van Wazer | October 28, 2010

One of the more interesting subplots in a thoroughly terrible Redskins game Sunday, which consisted of six interceptions, eight fumbles and the best delay of game penalty I've ever seen, was the play of nose tackle Albert Haynesworth.

By Matthew Diton | October 27, 2010

I know the English Premier League doesn't get much press coverage around these parts, but a recent development across the pond has left me questioning one of the most basic foundations of sport - one that should never be in doubt.
