Yellow Jackets sting Cavs in second half

By Paul Montana | March 14, 2008

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- When senior Sean Singletary scores 20 points and his support staff knocks down 39.1 percent of its 3-point field goals, Virginia is a tough team to keep up with. Georgia Tech's 13-24 shooting from the 3-point line and the 18 points apiece from seniors Anthony Morrow and Jeremis Smith, however, was enough for the Yellow Jackets to trump the Cavaliers' offensive output.

By Paul Montana | March 14, 2008

There were many outstanding performances in yesterday's game: Anthony Morrow's ridiculous 6-for-9 3-point shooting on one side and Singletary's double-double on the other.

By Meredith Hulley | March 13, 2008

The Virginia softball team split a midweek doubleheader against James Madison University yesterday, losing the first game 4-0 before taking the second game 2-1.

Virginia men claim conference crown

By Megan McDonald | March 12, 2008

It was supposed to be a rebuilding year. Having lost several of its best swimmers from the 2007-08 roster, the Virginia men's swim and dive team was not supposed to win the ACC Championship and it certainly was not supposed to do so by a margin of 273 points. Nevertheless, during Spring Break the Cavalier men dominated the competition, captured the 2008 conference crown and -- for the first time since 2004 -- the Virginia swimming and diving program swept the ACCs, bringing home both the men's and women's titles. "I was nervous going into this meet, especially after last year where I thought we were going to win for sure and we got kind of blown out," senior PJ Sullivan said.

Hope springs eternal?

By Eric Kolenich | March 11, 2008

"Sometimes, at the height of our revelries, when our joy is at its zenith, when all is most right with the world, the most unthinkable disasters descend upon us." While what happened to the Virginia football team the last two months might not be as bad as how Ralphie Parker describes the senseless devouring of his Christmas turkey by the Bumpus' dogs in "A Christmas Story," it's safe to say things were looking up for Virginia in early January. Sure it started on a sour note -- the Alex Trlica field goal that gave Texas Tech the Gator Bowl victory.
