But it's also not surprising. Doyle always was most comfortable behind the scenes, keeping stats, writing rules and making sure games ran smoothly and fairly. Never one to draw attention to himself, he seemed genuinely humbled when receiving well-deserved awards and honors. As the sport's premier historian and statistician, Smith was inducted into the U.S. Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2000. As a 31-year veteran of the UVa sports information department, he was the inspiration behind the Cavalier men's lacrosse national championship run in 1999, the same year he retired. Doyle passed away in his sleep after a 20-year battle with Parkinson's disease, but he left behind a rich legacy and countless friends, many of whom are sure to be at his visitation today from 2-5 p.m. at Hill & Wood Funeral Service in Charlottesville. Fittingly, his family requests donations be made to the VAF's Edward Doyle Smith, Jr., Scholarship, which will be awarded annually to the player who embodies dedication, precision and integrity on and off the field -- just as Doyle did throughout his life.

This Week In Recruiting By Chris Horne Football recruiting...
1 - RB/CB Victor Harris, Highland Springs
The rest of the list will be released early next week. The state of Virginia is rich in talent for the 2005 class, with all of the top 30 players holding at least one Division I-A scholarship offer. This week we highlighted a few other UVa quarterback targets, including Hermitage's (Richmond, VA) Jameel Sewell and Warwick's (Newport News, VA) Cody Brodus. Both signal-callers are similar in that they are lefties and each started at quarterback for the first time last season as a junior (though Brodus switched positions while Sewell has always been a quarterback). Sewell holds official offers from UVa, Maryland and Syracuse, while Brodus claims offers from UVa, Virginia Tech, Syracuse and Missouri. Sewell has no favorites at this time, while Brodus says UVa and Virginia Tech are high on his list.

Losing a lacrosse legend
But by the time he died Tuesday at the age of 60, Smith had left an indelible mark on the game of lacrosse, mainly by creating a historical record and by codifying the rules. Over a span of three decades, he helped confer credibility and legitimacy to a sport long known for being clubby and informal. "Doyle was the right man at the right time," said UVa coach Dom Starsia, who also called Smith "the most generous, sincere, loyal, thoughtful person around." For a column on Doyle Smith's life and legacy, please see the link below.
Appelt wins Tewaaraton Trophy
Virginia's junior attacker claimed lacrosse's equivalent of the Heisman on Thursday night after putting together one of the best seasons in the history of women's lacrosse. She scored 90 goals and accumulated 121 points as the Cavaliers went 19-3, sweeping their final 10 games to win the ACC and NCAA titles. Appelt became only the third player in history to record 90 goals in a season, and only the fourth to reach 120 points. She scored at least two goals in every game, notching a hat trick (three or more goals) in 20 of Virginia's 22 games. Appelt also was named the Honda Sports Award recipient for lacrosse, the first Cavalier to earn that distinction. She is now a candidate for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the Honda-Broderick Cup, the top award for collegiate women athletes.

Baseball hosting NCAA regional
"I've stressed to the players since the ACC tournament that we have to remember what has gotten us to this point, and it's not doing anything more or doing anything different than we have done all year," said coach Brian O'Connor. "It's important for us to remember to come out and play the way that we have played all season. If we do that, we're going to have a very good chance to win." Despite the quick ACC tournament exit, Virginia was granted one of 16 NCAA regional home sites for the first time in the program's history. The Cavs will be joined by Vanderbilt, George Mason and Princeton this weekend, with the winner advancing to the super regionals next week. "Losing in the ACCs was upsetting, but we're past it now," said third baseman Ryan Zimmerman. "This team doesn't really feel pressure, to tell you the truth. We like to go out and have fun. If we keep playing our game, we'll be fine." For more information on UVa baseball, please see the link below.

Hagans, Lee found not guilty
Hagans, a rising junior and the most likely candidate to start at quarterback for the Cavaliers next season, and Lee, a rising sophomore and reserve cornerback, were each facing up to a year in jail and a fine of $2,500 if found guilty. Judge Robert H. Downer, Jr. ended up dismissing the charges against both men, though he praised the officer and chastised both players. For a full account of their trial, please see the link below.
Rowing finishes sixth in NCAAs
Virginia's varsity four crew of Kerry Maher, Renee Albers, Libby McCann, Ashley Jones and coxswain Launa Forehand won the national title in its event. The first varsity eight crew finished ninth and the second varsity eight placed seventh. The team score was determined by the cumulative finish of all three boats. "Our varsity four did a great job and I'm very happy for them to be national champions in their event," said UVa coach Kevin Sauer. "I'm proud of all our crews because they rowed their hearts out." Also, Jennifer Reck, a two-time All-American on Virginia's first varsity eight, was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District III second team. She graduated with a 3.8 GPA and a degree in commerce.
