Men's Tennis Clinches Commonwealth Challenge For UVa
UVa leads the competition, which involves all teams in the two schools' athletics programs with a points system determining the annual winner, by an 12-6 score currently. There are only four points remaining so the overall title has been clinched by the Hoos. A trophy featuring a combination of the red brick prevalent at the University of Virginia and the limestone at Virginia Tech goes to Virginia this year. The trophy will be presented at the Commonwealth Day football game between the two schools this fall. There are also traveling plaques for the winning team in each sport. With the win over the Hokies, the Virginia men's tennis team has won four straight matches. The Cavs are 11-5 and 2-0 in the ACC. No. 11 Virginia returns home for the first time in a month with a pair of conference matches this weekend. The Hoos host Wake Forest today at 3 p.m. at the Synder Tennis Center. They also welcome N.C. State to town on Sunday for a 1 p.m. match.

This Week In Recruiting By Chris Horne Basketball recruiting . West Side (Gary, IN) couldn't overcome the loss of key players from last year's squad to have the year it wanted, but Virginia bound Jamil Tucker played well in what was his senior season. The 6-9, 210-pound forward averaged 22 points, 10 rebounds and three assists per game for West Side. "He had an outstanding year as an individual player but, as far as the team goes, I think he was a little bit disappointed," West Side head coach John Boyd said. According to Ford, Tucker will likely be a power forward for Virginia next season. Known for his outside shooting touch, Tucker is a versatile player who should bring an array of skills to the UVa team in 2006. Ball-handling will be one asset, as Tucker played the point guard position at times throughout his high school career. Tucker has already met qualification standards, so he is now just preparing to get to the University of Virginia. Stay tuned for an EDGE update on the talented big man over the weekend.
Football recruiting. Virginia is off and running in 2007 class recruiting, as the staff has already landed three verbal commitments. The latest one came last weekend, when 6-1, 200-pound Yorktown (Arlington, VA) running back Max Milien pledged to the Cavs over heavy interest from Virginia Tech and Maryland, among others. Milien, who is the second prospect from the state of Virginia to commit to UVa, rushed for 1,067 yards on 140 carries (7.6 yards-per-carry average) and scored 12 touchdowns. He added 26 catches for 414 yards and nine scores. While other programs were recruiting Milien more as an athlete, the Virginia staff is recruiting him to play running back. This was a factor in his decision according to Yorktown head coach Bruce Hanson, who praised the UVa staff for the job they did in recruiting his star. EDGE subscribers can check out junior year video clips of Milien on his EDGE recruiting card.
Other recruiting videos added to the database this week include Manchester (Midlothian, VA) OL Khalil Latif and Patrick Henry (Ashland, VA) ATH D.J. Thomas. UVa has offered Latif and is showing interest in Thomas, who holds an offer from Virginia Tech. |

Own a Piece of History The Last Ball in U-Hall concluded the Cavaliers' regular-season run in University Hall this past weekend, a disappointing 71-70 loss. Still, many of Virginia's all-time greats and legendary players returned for a day-long celebration that brought chills for many, tears for others, and smiles for all. Now you can relive that Sunday afternoon and all the good times in University Hall with a special offer from the Virginia Athletics Foundation. The VAF is offering a commemorative plaque with a piece of hardwood from the U-Hall floor that was used from the 1978 - 1997 seasons.
For information on how to order the plaque (which would make a great gift for a birthday, Father's Day, Christmas), check out this VAF information.
