Virginia swimming hosts Duke in the season's first dual meet

By Kate Lipper | November 1, 2002

The Virginia swimming program faces ACC rival Duke in their home pool tomorrow in what will be its first conference dual meet of the season. Both the Cavalier men (1-0) and women (1-0) have much reason to feel confident in their chances against the Blue Devils. Last year, an outstanding Virginia men's swimming team (8-2, 5-0 ACC) completed its season with their fourth-consecutive first-place finish at the ACC Championships and a national 11th-place finish at the NCAA Tournament, the highest placement in school history. This season, 22 letter winners return for the men, including eight All-Americans.

Call him Bonds, Barry Bonds

By Paul Crane | October 30, 2002

Although my esteemed colleague and fellow columnist Mr. Schwab already is looking ahead to the upcoming basketball season, I would like to take one last look back at the now-finished baseball season that culminated in the World Series victory of the Rally Monkey -- I mean, the Angels. Despite threats of a strike and lockout that loomed over baseball like an ominous thunder cloud most of the summer, this season will have a lasting impact on the sport and one player's place in baseball history. Before elaborating, I would just like to mention that with Nostredamas-like foresight, I believe a certain Cavalier Daily columnist predicted the clash of titanic proportions that took center stage this past Sunday night: Rally Monkey vs.

By Jonathan Evans | October 28, 2002

ATLANTA, Ga. The Cavaliers, who before Saturday's game averaged more than twice as many points in the second half than in the first, seemed all set to write another miracle comeback script Saturday, but alas, it wasn't meant to be. After three consecutive receptions, one by senior receiver Billy McMullen and two by freshman Jason Snelling, junior quarterback Matt Schaub called his own number on a quarterback draw that put the Cavaliers on the Virginia 40-yard line.

Virginia dominates American in fourth straight home win

By Eric Roper | October 28, 2002

Dominating the first half of play, the Virginia men's soccer team extended its three-game winning streak to four, edging the American Eagles by a score of 2-1 Saturday night at Klöckner Stadium. The Cavaliers got off to a quick start as junior forward Alecko Eskandarian scored on the opening kickoff, punching in an easy goal only nine seconds into the game. "We got a little bit of a lucky bounce, but then Alecko just ran by people," Virginia Coach George Gelnovatch said.
