Volleyball opens season with three wins

Welcoming seven new players as well as another back from injury, the Virginia volleyball team opened their season this weekend, hosting the Jefferson Cup at Memorial Gym. The women defeated Marshall in their first match 3-0 (25-17, 25-18, 29-27) Friday, and continued their success Saturday with a 3-1 win against James Madison (25-23, 23-25, 25-15, 26-24) and a 3-0 win against Montana (25-16, 25-22, 25-23). From the outset, the Cavaliers received great production from the newcomers.

Volleyball seeks fresh start

The Virginia volleyball team’s first season under coach Dennis Hohenshelt last year was not an easy one. With effectively only 12 players available for much of the season — severely limiting depth at most positions — the team stumbled to a 9-22 record, and a dismal 3-17 in the ACC. However, the return of an injured veteran and the arrival of seven new players should allow the team to erase the bad memories of 2012 and become serious contenders in the conference.

Virginia (9-19, 3-14 ACC) knocked off a formidable Georgia Tech team last weekend, and the newly confident Cavaliers expected Maryland and Boston College to be tough but winnable matches.
