Virginia barely edges Wake Forest

History does repeat itself. The Virginia women's basketball team (14-8, 5-4 ACC) notched its 47th consecutive win against Wake Forest (11-9, 3-6) with an energetic double-overtime 76-73 victory at University Hall yesterday. Virginia sophomore forward Schuye LaRue, benched in the first half for being late to the pregame shoot-around, brought much needed scoring and intensity to the overtime periods.

Dickson doubles Cavs' pleasure

Yesterday at University Hall, it was "Welcome to the Marcie Dickson Show." With a game-high 21 points and two game-tying plays, Virginia's sophomore forward turned in a career performance against the Demon Deacons.

Wrestling with success

P.J. Bory was destined to wrestle. Long before he became a Cavalier, before he made himself into an ACC champion, Bory was born into a family where older brothers and cousins were always on the mats.

Swimmers look to flatten Blue Devils

After splitting with conference rival North Carolina last week, the Virginia swimming and diving teams hope to push on towards the postseason with a dual meet tomorrow against Duke at 1 p.m.

Virginia attempts to claw Tigers

Stung by inconsistency in Wednesday night's loss at North Carolina, the Virginia men's basketball team will look to turn around its ACC season with another road test.

Women lose to Florida State for first time

This could be the lowest of the low. For the first time, the Virginia women's basketball team lost to Florida State. The Cavaliers entered the game 20-0 against the Seminoles in a series that dates back to 1990, but they allowed Levys Torres to put back her own miss in the final seconds and fell, 60-58, at the Tallahassee Leon County Civic Center last night.

Freshman swimmer Luke Anderson has another award to add to his trophy collection after being named the ACC Men's Swimmer of the Week for his Saturday performance against North Carolina. In Virginia's 139.5-103.5 victory, Anderson won two individual events and one relay.

The Super Bowl? I'm not excited, and I just can't hide it

This, evidently, is what it has come to. Kerry Collins and Trent Dilfer are your Super Bowl quarterbacks. Either Collins, a man paraded before the American sporting public not too long ago as a redneck, racist drunk, or Dilfer, who failed miserably as the last piece of the puzzle in Tampa Bay, will join the likes of Namath, Bradshaw and Montana as a championship-winning quarterback.

Bosevska travels long way to reach Olympics

Ed Moses wasn't the only Cavalier in the pool at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney last fall. Competing in her second Olympics for her native Macedonia, sophomore distance swimmer Mirjana Bosevska finished in the top 20 in each of her three events.

Men's basketball hopes to halt UNC win streak

The No. 13 Virginia men's basketball team, following an 85-72 win at home in a strong team effort against Missouri, next enters an environment which has given them much difficulty recently: a road game in the ACC. The Cavaliers face No.


Sports

Women's basketball just falls short of Devils

An intense, rejuvenated Virginia women's basketball squad came out to face fourth-ranked Duke, held their lead for the first 13 minutes and left it all out on the court last night. Unfortunately for the Cavaliers, that just wasn't enough. Virginia's starting five combined for all but six of the team's total points, drained nine three-pointers and made Duke, the defending ACC champion, look a little less invincible.

Duke's Mosch, Schweitzer prove too much for Cavs

Michael and Scottie. Bird and McHale. Magic and Kareem. Georgia and Sheana? Senior guard Georgia Schweitzer and sophomore point guard Sheana Mosch spearheaded the Blue Devils' win over the Cavaliers last night, outdueling Virginia's own pair, Schuye LaRue and Svetlana Volnaya.
