Emotional Cavaliers play textbook basketball on Debbie Ryan Day

By Joe Lemire | February 18, 2002

The day belonged to Virginia women's basketball coach Debbie Ryan. And that statement became even more true when Charlottesville Mayor Blake Caravati literally proclaimed it "Debbie Ryan Day" during pregame festivities that honored Ryan for her 25 years of service to the University as head women's basketball coach. It would be remiss not to write about Ryan today, when she truly coached a victory out of her young Cavalier squad - it was the 559th such victory of her illustrious career. Ryan truly is a master of coaching, one of the most over-criticized and under-appreciated vocations.

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.

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 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.
