Injury-riddled roster hurts Cavaliers in pair of weekend losses

By Abbey Hendricks | October 19, 2009

The Virginia volleyball team rounded out another weekend of conference play with two losses to Clemson Friday night and Georgia Tech Saturday. Perhaps a rash of injuries that held back three of the team's most important players can partially explain Virginia's (7-13, 2-7 ACC) latest losses. "We already had two girls who we knew weren't going to be playing in the beginning, and then Lauren [Dickson]'s injury happened on Tuesday," sophomore middle hitter Tess Udall said. Practicing with a new lineup less than a week before the weekend proved difficult for the Cavaliers.

Team continues conference play against Hokies

By Meryem Karad | October 16, 2009

After a disappointing tie with Liberty at home Tuesday, the No. 11 Virginia men's soccer team resumes ACC play tomorrow looking to secure a win against the unranked Hokies in Blacksburg. "Now moving back into league play, one win puts us right back in the middle of the pack and in good shape," Virginia coach George Gelnovatch said. Amid a four-game losing streak, Virginia Tech (3-7-2, 2-2 ACC) recently suffered a defeat to No.

Memorial Gym hosts Tigers, Yellow Jackets this weekend

By Abbey Hendricks | October 16, 2009

Hoping to improve its disappointing conference record, the Virginia women's volleyball team hosts Clemson and Georgia Tech in Charlottesville this weekend, rounding out a four-game homestand at Memorial Gym. As inconsistent play haunts Virginia (7-11, 2-5 ACC), playing at its home court will hopefully give the team momentum. "It's actually unreal the amount of adversity our team's had to deal with this year," senior defensive specialist Brittani Rendina said.

The Cavaliers, reeling from a series of disappointing games, will face the Tar Heels this weekend in what has become a conference grudge match between the two schools.
