Underclassmen dominate infield, headline promising Cavalier lineup

By Paul Montana | February 17, 2009

If the ACC Baseball Coaches Preseason Poll?s pick for Virginia finishing fourth in the ACC Coastal division is any indication, few baseball minds are giving Virginia any serious thought as an ACC contender this season.Regardless of this year?s final result, however, Virginia coach Brian O?Connor can take solace in the fact that for the first time since the squad?s 2006 campaign, he has a team that will not lose too many key contributors at season?s end.In Virginia?s starting eight in the field outside of the pitcher?s mound, only junior third baseman Tyler Cannon could go pro next season.

Bratton brothers, midfielders hope to shoulder scoring load

By Aaron Perryman | February 12, 2009

?We?re on a mission a little bit more than last year.?While Virginia sophomore Rhamel Bratton meant for the statement to apply to the entire Cavalier men?s lacrosse team, it is perhaps most relevant to the squad?s midfielders.Although the main offensive threat on a lacrosse team typically lies with a team?s attack, Virginia?s returning midfielders still feel as if they were not up to par in 2008.?Defenses would slide down and favor the attack more, so it would make games tougher when the midfielders didn?t pick up the slack,? Bratton said.This year, the Cavaliers? midfield is looking to create more opportunities on offense, and much of that production could come from Rhamel?s twin brother, Shamel, who netted 14 goals last season, including overtime winners against Johns Hopkins and Syracuse during the regular season.?Shamel has been a revelation since the beginning of fall lacrosse,? Virginia coach Dom Starsia said.
