Cavs seek third ACC win

Ankle-breaking cuts, bone-jarring battles in the trenches and tough, hard-nosed football will likely be the story Saturday when Georgia Tech visits Scott Stadium to face Virginia as both teams show off their solid running game. Although Georgia Tech (2-1, 0-1 ACC) ranks first in the ACC in rushing yardage with 237 yards per game and Virginia (2-1, 2-0 ACC) ranks ninth in the ACC in rushing yardage with 109 yards per game this season, both teams' running games are centered around equally impressive running backs.

Cavs travel south for first ACC match

Virginia hosts Florida State tonight at Memorial Gymnasium

Coming off an impressive performance at home against in-state rival Virginia Tech, the Virginia volleyball team resumes conference play tonight against Florida State at Memorial Gymnasium. Though the Cavaliers (6-4, 1-0 ACC) hope to maintain the momentum they gained in a 3-0 victory against Tech in front of a season-high crowd Friday, Florida State (4-5, 1-0 ACC) comes to Charlottesville in a similar position after defeating rival Miami 3-0 in Tallahassee last week. The matchup features two preseason top-five ACC squads, with Virginia voted third and Florida State fifth before the season began.

Intramural sports under new leaders

During the past week and a half, many of you have probably trekked to The Park or the Aquatic & Fitness Center, where you more than likely ripped a single through a hole in the infield, caught a touchdown pass, intercepted a frisbee or drained a jump shot.

Made of solid Gould

The man who has led the Virginia football team in scoring for the past two years stands just over six feet tall; weighs in at a (comparatively) delicate 204 pounds; and answers to the nickname "Beep." Think that will intimidate Georgia Tech Saturday?

Did you see that?

Chapel Hill, N.C. -- I've been watching football since I was five years old. I used to be so amazed by what happened on the field.

Cavs' Peerman plows over defenders with determination

Junior running back Cedric Peerman, whom Virginia coach Al Groh called "Big P" during a press conference this season, must ignite fear in opposing defenders' eyes with his imposing size. Five-foot-10 and 208 pounds?, Peerman can be a load to bring down because of his stocky build.

Hokies swept away by Cavs

The Virginia volleyball team kicked off its ACC schedule with a bang by sweeping a tough Virginia Tech team 3-0 Friday in front of a season-high crowd at Memorial Gymnasium. The first game was evenly matched, with the two teams tied on 14 different occasions with nine lead changes.

Tar Heels fall victim to Gould's kick

Chapel Hill, N.C.-- In a wild game that featured a dramatic two-point conversion attempt to tie the game in the final minutes, a wacky field goal and a malfunctioning clock, it was clear that anything was possible -- even a road victory -- when Virginia traveled to North Carolina to take on the Tar Heels Saturday. That's just what the Cavaliers (2-1, 2-0 ACC) did, as junior running back Cedric Peerman picked up the final first down in the final minute on a third and three, clinching an improbable 22-20 ACC road win over North Carolina (1-2, 0-1 ACC). This win snapped Virginia's four-game ACC road losing streak.

Lauren Seeliger and Brandon Kile, two third-year Cavalier Daily News writers, discuss the impact of the student housing frenzy on both University students and the Charlottesville community.
