Cavs down George Washington

By Eric Kolenich | February 19, 2007

With snow flurries falling late Sunday afternoon at Davenport Field, the Cavaliers secured their second victory of the weekend, an 11-1 dismissal of George Washington. It was the second straight day Virginia (4-1) put 11 runs on the scoreboard, defeating the Colonials 11-0 the day before. Sophomore shortstop Greg Miclat led the Virginia offense, going nine for 10 on the weekend, including a perfect five for five Sunday. "I'm seeing the ball well and hitting it to the right spots," Miclat said.

Cavs fall to FSU in nail-biter

By Ben Gibson | February 19, 2007

It appeared to be déjà vu all over again for the Virginia women's basketball team yesterday afternoon. Just like in their previous meeting, the Cavaliers led at the half only to be subject to a big Florida State run to open up the second half. Unlike their 16-point loss in Tallahassee, Virginia fought back but ultimately fell to the Seminoles 79-77. The game resembled a boxing match -- each time Virginia would hit a shot to take the lead, the Seminoles would respond with one of their own.

Virginia aiming at late season run for tournament

By Greg Moritz | February 16, 2007

With their collegiate careers coming to a close, senior center Siedah Williams and senior guard Brenna McGuire will surely have their adrenaline pumping in their last game in front of the home crowd at John Paul Jones Arena, especially after knocking off Virginia Tech last night 79-76 in Blacksburg. Saturday, the Virginia women's basketball team (15-11, 4-7 ACC) will need large contributions from these two experienced seniors to avenge a disappointing loss to Florida State (18-7, 7-3 ACC) earlier in the season.

By Megan McDonald | February 16, 2007

The Virginia men's lacrosse team will begin defending its No. 1 preseason ranking Sunday. The season opener pits the Cavaliers against the Drexel Dragons, with face off scheduled for 1 p.m. "Everybody's ready, everybody's excited and we're ready to bring it to Drexel on Sunday," senior goalie Kip Turner said. The Cavalier-Dragon season opener has become somewhat of a tradition for the two schools.

Cavs look to repeat title

By Anders Sleight | February 15, 2007

Returning from a 15-4 season in 2006 that included an ACC championship (the team's second in three years) and advancing to the NCAA Championships for the 11th consecutive year, the Virginia women's lacrosse team is working hard to prepare for the 2007 season. The squad opened up the season with a series of scrimmages at the South of the Border Tournament in Chapel Hill, N.C., where the Cavaliers faced ACC-rivals Duke, North Carolina and Davidson. "We have been working a lot harder this preseason than in the past," senior co-captain Jess Wasilewski said.
