Cavs return to friendly Klckner, host Liberty

By Kathleen Thornton | October 16, 2002

Over the course of this season, the Virginia men's soccer team has made several things clear: they are a unanimously talented group of athletes, they wish to make themselves known as an ACC power and they prefer to play at home. In a total of 11 games already played during this regular season (13 contests overall), the Cavaliers have emerged victorious over all five foes faced at home.

"Mama knows best." Cavalier offensive lineman Elton Brown heeded this lesson at a young age, and he and the Virginia football team are reaping the benefits of his obedience. Upon quitting the football team in the ninth grade, Elton went home to his mother, probably hoping for sympathy.

Virginia football, Cav-Man and the 'Good Ol' Song'

By Cavalier Daily Staff | October 14, 2002

Sometimes it takes an outsider to provide the keenest insight. Having attended all but one of Virginia's football games this season, home or away, I often find myself too closely involved with the team's daily play to notice some of the broader issues surrounding the program and the tradition. Thankfully, I had the pleasure of entertaining my brother Jon and his friend Marc for Saturday's game.

By Jessica Garrison | October 14, 2002

Virginia football furthered its budding reputation as a fourth-quarter team with a 22-17 victory over the visiting Clemson Tigers Saturday. Trailing 10-6 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers found themselves in excellent field position, courtesy of two 15-yard Clemson penalties and strong runs from sophomore running back Alvin Pearman.

By Brett Jerasa | October 11, 2002

Hard times have fallen on the Virginia women's volleyball team -- Wednesday's loss to ACC rival Maryland pushed the Cavaliers' losing streak to five, and there is little relief in sight as Virginia travels to Tallahassee to face Florida State and Florida A&M this weekend. Virginia Coach Melissa Aldrich Shelton, in her eighth season coaching the Cavaliers (6-14, 0-5 ACC), says preparation is the key for victory against the two formidable opponents.

Cavs come through in clutch, beat Blue Devils

By J.D. Moss | October 10, 2002

DURHAM, N.C. -- Despite only rushing for two yards as a team, Virginia used two fourth-quarter touchdowns to pull away from Duke and hold off the Blue Devils last Saturday, 27-22. The Cavaliers (4-2, 2-1 ACC), who ran nine plays for a net loss of nine yards in the third quarter, opened the fourth quarter with the ball at their own 10-yard line and the score knotted at 13. Junior quarterback Matt Schaub marched the Cavaliers 90 yards in eight plays, capped by an 18-yard touchdown pass to freshman fullback Jason Snelling for the 20-13 edge. Duke (2-4, 0-2) answered with a field goal, and after the teams traded punts, the Cavaliers' quick-strike offense used two big plays to add on another score. From his own 14, Schaub hit senior receiver Billy McMullen between a pair of Blue Devils for a 35-yard gain.
