Virginia looks to earn first win of season

By Stacy Kruczkowski | February 24, 2010

The No. 13 Virginia women's lacrosse team returns to action tonight, seeking its first win of the season at home against in-state rival Richmond. Hoping to end Virginia's recent domination of the rivalry between the two teams, Richmond (0-3) enters the midweek matchup having lost its first three games of the season to Maryland, Duke and North Carolina - all top-five teams. The Spiders struggled during their first week of regular season play.

Basketball falls to Clemson in lopsided defeat on road

By Andrew Seidman | February 22, 2010

After enduring a disappointing 19-point home loss to Florida State last Wednesday, coach Tony Bennett joked afterward that at least Virginia reached the 50-point mark with freshman guard Tristan Spurlock's basket during the game's final seconds. But against Clemson Saturday, Bennett could find no such silver lining, as the Cavaliers fell by an even wider margin, 72-49.

Talented Virginia squad hopes to live up to high expectations

By Matt Welsh | February 19, 2010

After falling just short of the national championship game last season, the Virginia men's lacrosse team starts its spring campaign ranked third in preseason polling and set to face off against a Drexel team it defeated 13-7 last season and has dominated 5-1 during the last decade. Last season's strong showing against Drexel kicked off a 12-game winning streak, which included victories at then-No.1 Syracuse and a seven-overtime thriller against conference rival Maryland. That Virginia team started the season ranked second in the country and, after the win at Syracuse, spent eight straight weeks as top dog nationally before two losses to Duke.

The No. 10 Virginia women's lacrosse team begins its spring campaign Saturday at home against Loyola (Md.). The Cavaliers take the field this season without many of the stars who carried the 2009 squad, which lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Blair Weymouth and Ashley McCulloch both graduated, as did senior leaders Jenny Hauser and Jen Holden.

Q&A with Al Groh

By Paul Montana | February 18, 2010

For three-and-a-half years - in accordance with Cavalier Daily style guidelines - I have been typing, "Virginia coach Al Groh." Striking any other keys prior to that name is truly an odd experience. Here goes: A week ago, I had the opportunity to catch up with new Georgia Tech defensive coordinator Al Groh.
