Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting Thomas Dale (Chester, VA) junior offensive tackle Zachary Rhodes has no offers yet but is on the University of Virginia's recruiting radar and is drawing attention from several major FBS programs. The 6'5", 270-pound junior has enjoyed a solid season for the Knights, who came up with a big win this past weekend over Meadowbrook. Rhodes attended UVa's Elite Prospect Day this past summer, and he has attended a few Virginia home football games this fall. Read more on the standout junior in an upcoming EDGE article. I'll also have more on another in-state 2013 class standout, Patrick Henry (Roanoke, VA) athlete David Prince. Prince has been offered by Virginia and Virginia Tech and recently took in games at both schools. In an upcoming EDGE update, Prince, an elusive and fast prospect projected as a receiver or defensive back on the college level, discusses those experiences and more. Stay tuned for more with senior quarterback Matt Johns, a Virginia commit, in the latest "Season Diary." Johns and his Central Bucks South (Warrington, PA) teammates scored a big win this past week to remain in playoff contention. The latest "Week In Review" is now up on the Good Ol Blog. Varina (VA) quarterback/cornerback Maurice Canady and Bayside (Virginia Beach, VA) wide receiver/safety Anthony Cooper had big games in wins for their respective teams. Canady, who is being recruited by UVa to play cornerback, threw three touchdown passes for the Blue Devils (7-1). Cooper, an all-state performer last season as a junior, had more than 100 yards of offense and two touchdowns in Bayside's win over district foe Cox. Read about how the rest of the class fared on the gridiron this past week in the "Week In Review."

Cavaliers Defeat Terrapins 2-0 in ACC Quarterfinal Virginia Athletics Media Relations Official Release The No. 5 Virginia women's soccer team advanced to the semifinals of the ACC Tournament with a 2-0 victory over No. 16 Maryland in a quarterfinal match Sunday at Klockner Stadium. The Cavaliers won their sixth straight game to improve to 14-3-2. "I am pleased with the result, as our team did what they needed to do today," said head coach Steve Swanson. "We pressed the ball well, took advantage of our depth and moved the ball well at times. That first goal was important as it gave us some confidence and allowed us to dictate the tempo of the game. It would have been nice to get the second one a little earlier, but I thought we had command of the game most of the second half. Overall, it was a good performance." Virginia posted its fifth consecutive shutout, its longest streak since six straight shutouts in 2009. Chantel Jones (Midlothian, Va.) made one save to earn her 44th career shutout, tying the NCAA record. Jones, who has 11 shutouts this season, equaled the mark set by Erin Guthrie of Rutgers (2006-09). "I am happy about the shutout," said Swanson. "Chantel Jones made history today for herself and for the University of Virginia. To tie that record is a great accomplishment and we couldn't be prouder of her." Virginia will meet Florida State in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament on Friday night in Cary, N.C. Game time at WakeMed Soccer Park is set for 7:30 p.m., and game will be broadcast online by ESPN3. The first ACC semifinal begins at 5:30 p.m. on Friday in Cary as Duke plays Wake Forest. The winners will meet in the final on Sunday at 1 p.m.
