Newest Feature Recently, TheSabre.com began a new feature on The Good Ol Blog called The Afternoon Break. Basically, it's a quick-hitting, link-filled way to take a break from the grind of the afternoon. Here's Friday's Break with results from a recent poll. Looks like some men's tennis fans are out there in Wahoo-land! Make sure you make The Sabre's Good Ol Blog a daily stop on the web. Sabre poster Hoos in da house asked an interesting question on multiple boards last week. The Afternoon Break turned it into a poll. Here are the results from last Friday's break poll! Men's tennis garnered the most votes as the UVa spring sports team with the best chance to win the NCAA Championship this spring; 47% of voters picked Brian Boland's Hoos. The rowing team (29%) and the men's lacrosse team (22%) also received more than 20% of the votes. Click on "view results" below to see the full range of votes.
Hoo-Tube Video Of The DayThe Afternoon Break features a daily video and today's video features the U.S. Women's National Team Player Profiles of defenders Amy LePeilbet, Becky Sauerbrunn and Ali Krieger. Sauerbrunn played at Virginia from 2003 to 2007 where she appeared in every game and all but 10 minutes of her college career. She was named the ACC Defensive Player of the Year as a senior in 2007.

Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne Onalaska (WI) shooting guard Matt Thomas is expected on Grounds for an unofficial visit early this week. This will be the first visit to UVa for the 6'4", 195-pound Thomas, who appears to be one of Virginia's top overall targets in the class of 2013. Boston College, Iowa State, Marquette, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Virginia and Wisconsin are some of the schools that have offered the all-state performer, who averaged 21.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 2.1 assists in 2011/2012. Thomas helped Onalaska to a state championship title this past season. Iowa State, Virginia and Wisconsin have been the most talked about schools with Thomas, who has not named a clear favorite at this point. Certainly, with this being Thomas' first experience in Charlottesville, the visit is huge for UVa's chances going forward. Stay tuned, as we'll have the latest with Thomas and his visit experience this week on the EDGE. Football recruiting ... On the football recruiting front, I'll continue to hit the class of 2013 recruiting beat but will also take a look at the Commonwealth's class of 2014. The state of Virginia features some of the top talents in the country, including defensive linemen Andrew Brown (Indian River H.S. in Chesapeake), De'Shawn Hand (Woodbridge H.S) and others.
Chris Horne, our resident recruiting expert, provides updates throughout the week for EDGE subscribers about UVa's commitments and recruiting targets in football and men's basketball.

Issue No. 243 - May 26, 2006 Virginia Ready for Final Four Weekend
"I would tell you that just in passing, and I've said it over time, we never go into a season thinking about being undefeated. With the schedule we play, we just don't think that that's likely to happen," Virgiia coach Dom Starsia said. "So the fact that it has happened [in the regular season] is memorable. I think that's significant. But I think we're now focused on trying to finish this in the final weekend and then we can all sit back and look at the big picture of this thing." The Cavaliers have won the men's lacrosse title three times, including their run in 2003. The seniors on this team were freshmen then and they would like to bookend their careers with National Championships. "You certainly don't come to college and think you're going to play. The fact that I got a chance to play, but also to play on a team that was so talented with great senior leadership and win a National Championship was an unbelievable and indescribable feeling and experience for me. I certainly would like to duplicate that this year," senior Matt Ward said earlier this season. Virginia and Syracuse face off in the second game Saturday - the start time is slated for 2 p.m. Read SabreMail No. 243 here. |
