Cavs sharpen skills in first scrimmage

By Sean McLernon | February 3, 2003

With the ACC basketball season just getting into full swing and temperatures finally hovering around 40, last year's highest-ranked Virginia sports team, the men's lacrosse squad, took the field Saturday to battle Navy in the first of four preseason scrimmages. No official score was kept for the scrimmage, but unofficially the Cavaliers defeated the Midshipmen 10-4 at U-Hall Turf Field in the earliest scrimmage in team history -- a full three weeks before the season's first contest. "This is about as early as it gets," Virginia coach Dom Starsa said.

Virginia turns over win to No. 7 Carolina

By Sean McLernon | January 31, 2003

Chapel Hill, N.C. -- No. 7 North Carolina is known for its defense, but it was Nikita Bell's early second-half offensive burst that put Virginia in a hole they were unable to climb out of. The six-foot forward scored six straight points to open second half play, helping ignite the struggling Tar Heel offense into shooting 50 percent from the field and nearly doubling its first half tally on the way to a 74-54 romp over the Cavaliers.

Turnovers, poor rebounding just won't cut it on road

By Jason Wise | January 31, 2003

Chapel Hill, N.C. -- The Tar Heels were the better team tonight. While North Carolina was calm, collected and businesslike, Virginia was sloppy, frantic and in shambles. It's not that the Cavaliers couldn't have won this game; it's not even that North Carolina was too deep, too strong or too athletic for Virginia to keep up.

Graham's valiant return finds perfection at the line

By Jason Wise | January 28, 2003

At five-foot-seven, Cherrise Graham certainly doesn't tower over her opponents on the court physically, but her numbers more than speak for her heart, talent and ability to overcome setbacks. One of the more telling and suspenseful statistics that Graham, a sophomore guard from Pennsylvania, boasts is the team record for consecutive free throws.
