Record-breaker Moses balances athletics, academics

By Kate Lipper | February 14, 2002

Former Virginia swimmer Ed Moses is pretty pleased with his life right now. With a solid GPA at one the country's most prestigious universities, an assistant coaching position on the up-and-coming Cavalier swim squad and a solid sense of stability with friends and family, Moses appears to have succeeded at finding the balance between academics, extracurriculars and fun for which most undergraduates strive. But Moses' undergraduate life has been anything but typical.

Virginia comes back to beat Georgia Tech

By Jonny Schwab | February 12, 2002

Behind the strong support of its University Hall crowd of 3,078, the Virginia women's basketball team overcame a 13-point deficit in the second half to defeat conference foe Georgia Tech last night, 85-79. The win moved Virginia (13-10,6-6 ACC) into a fourth-place conference tie with Clemson and within a half-game of the third-place Yellow Jackets (14-9,7-6). The story of the game was the second-half offensive turnaround for the Cavaliers, who shot only 35.3 percent in the first half and were held to 32 points.

Cavaliers avenge earlier loss, rally past Clemson, 85-71

By Jeremy Williams | February 11, 2002

If the Virginia men's basketball team is successful in the second half of upcoming ACC and tournament play, it just might look back on the last 15 minutes of last night's 85-71 victory over the struggling Clemson team (11-13, 2-9 ACC) as a turning point in this season. After Clemson freshman Jamar McKnight hit a three-pointer to tie the game at 50 with 15 minutes, 11 seconds remaining, the Cavaliers (14-6, 5-5) rode their full-court press to a 15-0 run.

Ailing Cavaliers pinned by pair of close losses

By Jason Wise | February 11, 2002

Despite winning six of 10 matches, the Virginia wrestling team lost its second close meet of the weekend to Virginia Tech on Sunday. The Cavaliers dropped a 22-19 decision to James Madison University on Saturday, and looked to improve their 1-6 dual match season against the Hokies. In a match marred by several ugly incidents, the Cavaliers could not overcome Virginia Tech and fell to 1-7 in dual meets on the season. One of Virginia's victorious matches came in the 125-pound weight class, but initiated a series of unsportsmanlike altercations. Virginia Tech's Geoff Head (15-8 on the season) shoved Cavalier wrestler Byron Dunlap (10-13) into the mat and onto the hardwood floor, after a whistle to stop play.
