Cavaliers Sweep ITA All-American Titles University of Virginia Athletics Media Relations, Official Release The Virginia men's tennis team swept both titles at the ITA All-American Championships as play concluded Sunday at the Case Tennis Center at the University of Tulsa. First-year Alex Domijan won the singles title, while Drew Courtney and Michael Shabaz won the doubles title at the year's first major tournament. Domijan rallied from dropping the first set of his collegiate career to defeat eighth-seeded Eric Quigley of Kentucky 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. He becomes the third freshman in the 32-year history of the tournament to win the singles title, joining Scott Davis of Stanford in 1980 and Ryan Wolters of Stanford in 1995. Domijan also became the first Cavalier to win the ITA All-American singles championship, as it had been the only major individual title that Virginia had not previously won. Courtney and Shabaz, the tournament's No. 3 seed, defeated Chase Buchanan and Blaz Rola of Ohio State 6-3, 6-7, 6-3 in the final. Courtney and Shabaz, the reigning NCAA Champions, have now won 10 consecutive matches against collegiate competition dating back to last season. They become the second Cavalier team to win the title, joining Somdev Devvarman and Treat Huey, who won the championship in 2007. Virginia became the fifth school to sweep both titles at the tournament.

This Week In Recruiting Gray, Atkins, and more ... North Cobb (Kennesaw, GA) senior linebacker Troy Gray took some time to update his recruitment. For now, things look pretty good for the University of Virginia. The 6-1, 215-pound prospect plans to make an official visit to UVa on the weekend of Oct. 30 and, though it will be his first ever trip to Charlottesville, he is already very high on the Cavaliers. Arkansas, Central Florida, Kentucky and Middle Tennessee State are Virginia's prime competition for the speedy linebacker, who has run the 40-yard dash in 4.53 seconds. Gray is enjoying a successful senior season, as his team is 5-1. EDGE subscribers can read a full article on Gray this week. Also on the football recruiting front, EDGE subscribers will be able to read an overall look at the 2011 class, including which prospects are still available and what needs remain the most pressing. Twenty high school seniors have committed to Virginia's 2011 class, but in reality there are 21 commits in total, counting Fork Union Military Academy (VA) safety Kyrrel Latimer. A 2010 DeMatha Catholic grad, Latimer committed in the summer of 2009 but did not sign a letter of intent in February of 2010. If he does what he needs to do academically, though, it appears Coach London would take him as a recruit in the 2011 class. Shifting to the hardwood, UVa's latest men's basketball commitment, Landon School (Bethesda, MD) power forward Darion Atkins, enjoyed the official visit he made on the weekend of Oct. 2. The 6-8, 210-pound senior called the camaraderie with the players - including fellow 2011 commitment Paul Jesperson - the highlight of his experience. On Sept. 17, Atkins verbally committed to Virginia over Notre Dame. He was solid in his commitment, but last weekend's visit served to reaffirm his decision. Atkins is the third and possibly final recruit of the class, though Tony Bennett has another scholarship at his disposal should he choose to use it. If not, Atkins, Jesperson and Greater Atlanta Christian (Atlanta, GA) guard Malcolm Brogdon will make up Bennett's second full recruiting class as Cavaliers head coach.

Issue No. 82 - April 11, 2003
Cain Set to Visit Virginia will entertain 6-9, 205 pound forward Jason Cain of John Bartram High School (Philadelphia, PA) this weekend on an official visit. "He's leaving tomorrow," said John Bartram head coach Lou Biester. "He's excited - at least as excited as Jason can get. He's also considering UNC Greensboro, Indiana, and Villanova right now." Cain, who began his high school career as a 6-1 guard, has grown eight inches over the last three years. Possessing the size of a center, his skills are suited more for a small or very athletic power forward. "Jason is very athletic," said Biester. "He can handle the ball and he was the team's best passer. He averaged 15 points, 12 rebounds, six blocks, and eight assists in leading us to a Public League Championship title. He's not a center, though. He faces the basket. The player he reminds me of in terms of style is Arizona's Luke Walton. He can do it all - even shoot the three. Jason needs to work on his three-point shot, but he can do it." According to Biester, neither Villanova, Indiana, nor Virginia have officially offered Cain a scholarship, however he feels they all will soon. Cain is one of Virginia's primary remaining targets for the Spring 2002 signing period.
