Softball unable to keep up with FSU

Florida State came to Charlottesville riding a seven-game win streak. The Seminoles left with a 10-game streak after taking three straight games from Virginia (7-16, 2-4 ACC), during which the Cavaliers never led and only managed to tie the score once, by a combined score of 22-5. In the first game, Florida State (21-9, 4-2 ACC) jumped all over junior pitcher Karla Wilburn on its way to a 9-1 victory.

Going out on top

Meet the seventh-string quarterback of Southern Mississippi's 1987 football team. In the warm-ups before the third game of the season, he's hunched over on the sideline, still hung over from the night before, throwing up everywhere.

Yellow Jackets sting Cavs in second half

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.

Hewitt knew it

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.

Confident Cavs face Jackets in ACC Tourney

With less than a week until the 65-team field for the NCAA Tournament is picked, the Virginia men's basketball team has one last shot to earn a bid: a run at the conference title in the ACC Tournament this Thursday through Sunday.

Virginia splits doubleheader with Dukes

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 (7-13, 2-1 ACC) began the afternoon with a shutout loss to the Dukes in which JMU junior pitcher Jenny Clohan allowed only six hits and one walk over seven innings while striking out two. Clohan "threw a great game," Virginia coach Eileen Schmidt said.

Virginia men claim conference crown

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.
