Softball: Cavs to visit another top-notch team

"Obviously we haven't done well in ACC play," junior outfielder Lindsey Preuss said.

Indeed, Virginia's heartbreaking 7-6 overtime loss to the Blue Devils (10-2, 3-0 ACC) has lit a fire under the Cavaliers, who are ready and eager to play their best lacrosse this weekend. "We feel like in the last couple of weeks our play has flattened out a little bit," Virginia coach Dom Starsia said.

Softball: Cavs seek to lace up midweek wins over Lancers

For the Virginia softball team, the 2007 season has been one of disappointments.
