If there were any signs yesterday that the No. 3 Cavaliers were looking ahead to their ACC clash with No.
I woke up Monday morning in horror. The Washington Post reported that Virginia offered its coaching job to Dave Odom and he would accept shortly. Thankfully, The Post's source was erroneous (see, it happens to the best of us), and Odom reiterated Monday night that, though he and Virginia athletic director Craig Littlepage had talked as friends about the Virginia job, he was not a candidate for it. That is not a knock on the 63-year-old former Virginia assistant but rather a statement that he is not the right person for the job.

It was one of those days that announces that spring is here, with sunshine and warm temperatures sticking around well into dusk. Unfortunately for the Cavaliers, it also was one of those days where, despite any and all attempts, the ball seemed to bounce just out of reach, and all the breaks went in Townson's direction. Towson (17-11, 5-1 CAA) completed a doubleheader sweep over Virginia (14-21, 3-2 ACC), coming back to take a 5-4 victory in the first game and then outlasting the Cavaliers 3-2 in the night cap that lasted ten innings. "It's a day where everything we tried to do just didn't go right," Virginia coach Cheryl Sprangel said. In the first game, the Cavaliers jumped out to a 4-0 lead behind stellar pitching from sophomore Coty Tolar and solid hitting from junior Sara Larquier, senior Jenn Wynn and Tolar. With the game seemingly in hand, Sprangel opted to take Tolar out in favor of sophomore Meghan O'Leary.

As the famous saying reads, "Go west, young man," so has lacrosse. The sport pioneered by American Indians but perfected by elitist New England prep schools has taken Greeley's advice and, over the past few decades, has spread outward from its Eastern roots to form a network that now includes every state in the nation. Like anything else, growth must start from the bottom up, beginning with a solid base to build upon.
