Welch recovers, rediscovers joy of throwing on field

By Jason Wise | April 11, 2002

John Welch was named ACC track and field performer of the week this week, and although this might not seem surprising for a senior athlete who finished first in the ACC in the javelin throw his freshman year, it is unexpected from an athlete who twice prepared himself never to compete again. Welch said he only once thought of quitting, after his first college throwing coach left. "I was really considering trying out for the baseball team, just as a walk on," Welch said.

Freshman Reynolds shows potential, excels beyond plate

By J.D. Moss | April 11, 2002

Freshman shortstop Mark Reynolds has developed a habit of showing up earlier than expected. Last June, Reynolds arrived in Charlottesville to play baseball - leading Virginia Beach's First Colonial High School team in a state quarterfinal matchup against Albemarle High School. This spring, Reynolds first won the starting shortstop job and has blossomed into one of the team's top hitters, making an impact much earlier than expected. Reynolds said that Virginia coach Dennis Womack "told me I'd have the opportunity to compete for a starting job.

Virginia looks for six straight against Hokies

By Chris Glasser | April 10, 2002

You'll have to forgive the women's lacrosse team if the players appear a little cocky heading into today's matchup against in-state rival Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. Not only have the Cavaliers (10-2) won five straight and nine of 10 heading into today's game against the Hokies (5-6), but two of those wins came against top 10 teams - Duke and North Carolina - and two more came against top 15 teams - Maryland and James Madison.

Virginia looks to top elated Terrapins

By Jeremy Williams | April 9, 2002

Coming off an emotional alumni weekend victory over N.C.

Momentum from the amazing comeback would give the Cavaliers (10-9, 1-5 ACC) an edge on most days, but Maryland (7-7, 1-4) is coming off an even greater accomplishment - the Terrapins won their first ACC match in 10 years Sunday when they beat that same Wolfpack team, 4-3. Maryland, who is the only school in the ACC without a scholarship player on their roster, had not won an ACC match since 1992, when they upset N.C.

Virginia edges by N.C. State for first ACC victory

By Jason Somensatto | April 8, 2002

It was hard for the Virginia men's tennis team (10-9, 1-5 ACC) to put Saturday's victory over North Carolina State (4-16) into words. The emotional win was important not just because it was their first in-conference win of the season, or because the win broke their four match losing streak.
