Tribe chops down comeback attempt to win by one

By Paul Montana | April 24, 2008

Going into a three-game series with Miami this weekend, the last thing the Virginia baseball team needed in its contest against William & Mary last night was yet another midweek clunker. In a matchup between two of the commonwealth's finest, however, it was the Tribe that took control from the beginning and emerged the victor in the end, staving off the Cavaliers 6-5. In the bottom of the eighth, trailing 6-4, Virginia mounted a comeback.

Parting shots

By Kevin Zdancewicz | April 24, 2008

For two years, I have resisted the temptation to write a stream-of-consciousness sports column. While I surely haven't spared friends and family of my stream of consciousness while talking about sports, I have been pretty good about making sure my columns have a distinct central idea or argument, with minimal rambling or jumping from topic to topic. I just figured I'd warn you: That's not happening today.

The last one

By Kyle O'Connor | April 23, 2008

I've spent the past four years asking athletes and coaches what they've learned. The answers have ranged from the mind-numbingly boring to the incredibly fascinating.

By Jack Bird | April 22, 2008

Despite ending the first day of the 20th annual ACC Championship with a huge lead and maintaining a tie for first through the second day of competition, the Virginia women's golf team slipped during the third day to finish the tournament in second place, one stroke shy of Duke.

Team faces challenges against Georgetown, William & Mary

By Emily Bareford | April 22, 2008

The No. 16 Virginia baseball team will come into its matchups against Georgetown tonight and William & Mary tomorrow with renewed confidence following an 11th-inning win against Wake Forest Sunday. Virginia (31-11, 13-8 ACC) won two of three against the Demon Deacons, this weekend, overcoming a tough 14-3 loss Saturday night to win 3-2 Sunday in 11 innings, restoring lost confidence. "After you lose a game like you did [Saturday] night, there's some confidence issues," Virginia coach Brian O'Connor said.

Summer sports headlines

By Eric Strow | April 22, 2008

This is my last column of the year, so I wanted to start by thanking you for reading along. I hope I have provided some semblance of sports insight or humor (or both) to get you through your Tuesdays. Anyway, for this week, I figured I would talk about sports-related issues to get you through the summer.

Get it up

By Paul Montana | April 21, 2008

As I was sitting at the baseball game yesterday afternoon, staring out into the always panoramic Davenport Field, I noticed a new feature in the left field bleachers: the "'Hoo Zone" sign.

Big Green can't stop Virginia attack at Klöckner

By Megan McDonald | April 21, 2008

With a season-high four goals, senior attackman Ben Rubeor led the Cavaliers to a 11-7 win against Dartmouth -- quite fitting on a day reserved for celebrating the Cavaliers' senior players. It was junior attacker Danny Glading, however, who took it upon himself to get things going offensively for Virginia (11-2, 1-2 ACC). In the final four minutes of the first period, Glading's two goals and one assist helped propel the Cavaliers from a two-goal deficit to a two-goal lead. Virginia continued to extend its lead in the second quarter; with a hat-trick and one assist, Rubeor played a role in every goal Virginia scored that period.

By Dan Stalcup | April 21, 2008

When freshman centerfielder Jarrett Parker cracked the first pitch of his at-bat in the bottom of the 11th to deep left-center and sophomore pinch-runner Corey Hunt tagged up on third before darting home to score the game-winning run, the Virginia dugout emptied and piled on top of Parker.
