Rowing Wins National Championship Virginia Athletics Media Relations, Official Release The First Varsity Eight won its grand final to clinch the Virginia rowing team its second NCAA Championship Sunday (May 27) on Mercer Lake in West Windsor, N.J. It is UVa's second national championship in three years. The Cavaliers finished with 87 points, while Michigan placed second with 82 points. California was third with 78, just ahead of Princeton, who had 77. "It feels great," head coach Kevin Sauer said. "I was just thinking, 'Come on you guys, do what you are capable to do.' I told them before the race to remember who they are and what they want and they just went out and did it. They were tight in the beginning and were a little behind, but they were patient and in the second thousand (meters), they were awesome." Trailing California by three points going into the 1V8 grand final, the Cavaliers held off Michigan and won by nearly a full boat length in 6:18.72. The Wolverines were second in 6:22.09, while USC was third in 6:25.06. It is first time UVa has won the First Varsity Eight title. "It feels absolutely amazing," sophomore Fiona Schlesinger said. "It sums up all the hours the coaches, the athletes, the trainers and everyone else has put in. We all left our hearts out there on the line. Its incredible and I'm so glad to do it with these girls and all of my best friends." Virginia, who was seeded first in the First Varsity Eight coming into the regatta, was second to Michigan after 250 meters, but had taken the lead by the 750-meter mark. Halfway through the race, the Cavaliers had a five-seat lead over Michigan and by the finish, were almost leading by open water. "For the last month or two, we felt we had a shot, but it had to be a team performance," associate head coach Steve Pritzker said. "We knew the Four had to be at the top, we knew the 2V8 had to make the grand final and they did that. I think it's great that even though those two boats didn't win, they can see what a great part they played in this team championship." Read the full release here.

This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne Westside (Houston, TX) cornerback Hipolito Corporan verbally committed to the University of Virginia last Friday, giving the Hoos eight commitments in total in the class of 2013. I caught up with the 6'2", 190-pound prospect for a few comments on Friday, but this week I plan to have much more on the newest Cavalier. Virginia's 2013 commitment breakdown, position-wise, is as follows: 2 quarterbacks, 2 wide receivers, 1 offensive lineman, 1 linebacker, and 2 defensive backs. Last week's Strategy Session piece focused on the linebacker position, which is one of Virginia's biggest positions of need in 2013. Check out which remaining linebacker prospects the Cavaliers are in the best position to land in that article. This week, I'll have the latest on the seventh high school junior to commit to Virginia, Ocean Lakes (Virginia Beach, VA) quarterback Corwin "Turtle" Cutler. In an upcoming News, Notes, and Links feature, Cutler comments on the scholarship offers he received after he committed to Virginia, as well as just how solid he is in his commitment to the Hoos. The News, Notes, and Links feature will also include the latest from Thomas Dale High School (Chester, VA), specifically rising senior athlete D.J. Reid's visit plans, info on Ponte Vedra (FL) junior tight end Kyle Chung, and more. Virginia has offered both Reid and Chung. On the basketball front, Sabre Editor Kris Wright plans to caught up with coach Tony Bennett for an article this week. I'll examine the overall 2013 recruiting picture in a basketball Strategy Session. Coach Bennett currently has two scholarships available to use in the 2013 class, and I'll take a look at which prospects/positions the staff is targeting.

Issue No. 263 - Oct. 16, 2006 Basketball recruiting. Coach Dave Leitao and company will host 6-8, 215-pound recruit Mike Scott on an official visit this weekend. Scott is a power forward target out of Chesapeake, Virginia. He averaged 25 points and 15 rebounds per game as a senior last season for Deep Creek High School. He originally signed with Temple last fall, but decided to open up his options following the departure of John Chaney from Temple. He is now at Hargrave Military Academy. Scott, a prospect with outstanding athleticism, is making his first official visit. As reported on The Sabre EDGE last week, he has narrowed his list to four schools - Clemson, N.C. State, Wake Forest and Virginia. No other visits have been set at this point, but stay tuned as I will check up on the situation on Sunday following the trip. According to a report on Rivals.com, UVa is no longer pursuing small forward Eric Wallace. The 6-6, 210-pound Wallace was once a commitment to UVa, but reneged on his decision recently and decided to re-open his recruitment. Read SabreMail No. 263 here. |
