Hokies Vs. Hoos Food Fight Seven years of the friendly but fierce rivalry between Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia has yielded food and funds for more than 236,000 meals for the hungry in central Virginia via the annual "Hokies vs. Hoos" food drive. Martin's, which hosted donation bins for the first time last year, has become the title sponsor. This year's competition will be held at all Richmond-area Martin's supermarkets during the week of the big UVa vs. Virginia Tech basketball showdown in Blacksburg on Feb. 21. Donation bins will be set up inside all Richmond-area Martin's stores from Monday, Feb. 20 through Sunday, Feb. 26. Martin's will also afford customers the opportunity to make monetary donations at the registers this year. The Hokies vs. Hoos "Food Fight" capitalizes on the fierce rivalry between Virginia Tech and UVa alumni and fans by encouraging donations during a time of year when donations typically decline after the holidays. Virginia leads the seven-year competition 4-3. Each can or box of food donated in the Virginia Tech or UVa bins in each location will count for 1 point, and every dollar donated at Martin's between 2/20-2/26, or online between Monday, 2/13 and Wednesday, 2-29 at www.hokiesvshoos.com will count for 5 points. The score will be updated daily on the competition website, www.hokiesvshoos.com, with the winner to be announced on Friday, March 2. Check out this link for more info!

This Week In Recruiting There was a good turnout for the first of two junior day events the University of Virginia football program is hosting this month. 4-star junior linebacker Dorian O'Daniel, a product of Good Counsel High School (Olney, MD), was one of the headliners of the group of recruits in Charlottesville on Saturday. O'Daniel boasts offers from all across the country. There were many other standouts in attendance as well, including in-state linebacker prospects Doug Randolph and Matt Rolin, in-state safety Mike Parker, Washington (D.C.) cornerback Devin Butler, and more. Butler scored an offer on Saturday, while the others had been offered before. Parker came away highly impressed and plans to return to Charlottesville this coming Saturday. A handful of updates have been posted on the EDGE Subscribers board on Randolph, Parker, Rolin, and more. We'll have full articles on these recruits and others throughout the week, so stay tuned.

Virginia Women Capture 10th ACC Crown Virginia Athletics Media Relations official releases The Virginia women's swimming team captured its 10th Atlantic Coast Conference crown Saturday, including its fifth consecutive, at the Christiansburg Aquatic Center in Christiansburg, Va. The Cavaliers finished with 848 points. North Carolina was second (615) and Florida State took third (460). The class of 2012 - Kelly Flynn, Meredith Perdue and Erika Stewart - become just the second class in UVa history to depart with four titles. "This group learned how to be a team and really found its own identity," Virginia coach Mark Bernardino said. "Our seniors were the absolute glue of the team. They made everybody feel welcome and important. They helped our first years through the process of being college athletes. As far as I'm concerned, they grew that group into the swimmers they became as the year developed." "Every year has been extremely different and full of ups and downs," Stewart said. "I am so proud of this team and feel so blessed to be a part of this legacy that we have built for the last five years." Virginia capped the meet by edging out Maryland for a win in the 400 freestyle relay. Lauren Perdue, Meredith Cavalier, Flynn and Emily Lloyd teamed up to win the event in a NCAA 'B' time of 3:16.50. On the week, Virginia won four of the five relays. For more on the meet, visit Virginiasports.com.

Issue No. 177 - Feb. 18, 2005 Wahoos go 1-1 in rivalry week
UVa handled the Hokies 65-60 at University Hall on Saturday, preventing VaTech from sweeping the season series. If nothing else, the 'Hoos prevented the Hokies from claiming bragging rights in football and basketball. That would have been unbearable. No such luck against the Tar Heels, who pounded Virginia for the second time this season Wednesday. The 85-61 rout wasn't as embarrassing as UNC's 110-76 win at U-Hall two weeks earlier, but it illustrated once again how the Cavs have been unable to compete against the ACC's top teams this season. Gary Forbes was UVa's star in both games, scoring 21 against Virginia Tech and 23 vs. North Carolina. With four regular-season games remaining (next up: Maryland at U-Hall tomorrow), the Wahoos are 13-10 overall and 4-8 in the ACC. Read SabreMail No. 177 here. |
