Domijan Wins ITA All-American Championship Virginia Athletics Media Relations Official Release Virginia junior Alex Domijan won the singles title at the 2012 ITA All-American Chamoionships, downing Peter Kobelt of Ohio State 7-5, 6-1 in Sunday's final at the Case Tennis Center. Domijan, who also won the event as a freshman in 2010, becomes just the third player in the 34-year history of the event to win the fall's most prestigious tournament twice. Domijan, the No. 6 seed in this year's tournament, dropped just one set in his six victories. He joins Al Parker of Georgia (1989, 1990) and K.J. Hippensteel of Stanford (1999, 2001) as the only two-time ITA All-American Singles Champions. Domijan's two titles, combined with Mitchell Frank's (Annandale, Va.) title last year, make Virginia the first school to win the event three consecutive years. Domijan is unbeaten in his career at the ITA All-American Championships, winning the title in both his appearances. He missed last year's event due to injury. "I thought this tournament was a good start to the season," said Domijan. "I was pleased with how I played, in terms of being aggressive and making shots. I accomplished what I wanted to in this tournament in terms of my level of play, and that makes me happier than having a title next to my name. I can now look to build upon this level as the season goes along." |

This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne Monsignor Donovan (Toms River, N.J.) standout Brad Henson, one of three offensive line recruits in UVa's class of 2013, was in attendance for the Cavaliers' contest against Louisiana Tech. He plans to return this weekend for the Maryland game. I caught up with the talented prospect, who discussed which position Mike London and company want him to play initially, his impression of the Hoos' football program, and more. Multiple outlets report that West Catholic (Philadelphia, PA) offensive tackle Jaryd Jones-Smith plans to take an official visit to UVa this weekend. I plan to have more on the 6'7", 300-pound prospect before and after the trip. On the Good Ol Blog, I'll provide a list of all those recruits confirmed to be in Scott Stadium this Saturday. Today, be sure to check out the latest "Week In Review," which includes a report on safety prospect Malcolm Cook's big-time performance last week. Looking ahead a bit, the University of Virginia men's basketball program will host two touted low post recruits in the coming weekends. On the weekend of Oct. 20, the Hoos will play host to 7'0" Joel Embiid, who has become one of the most coveted centers in the 2013 class. Virginia is one of five finalists for the Rock School (Gainesville, FL) prospect, who is also considering Florida, Kansas, Marquette, and Texas. He took an official visit to Texas this past weekend, will take an official to Kansas this weekend, and then will be in Charlottesville for an official the weekend of the 20th. EDGE subscribers can read more about Embiid in the article I posted last week (see below). The Cavaliers are also set to play host to Boone (Orlando, FL) senior power forward Schuyler Rimmer from Oct. 25-27. Rimmer took an official visit to Stanford this past weekend. The 6'9" prospect had already visited Southern Cal, and he has upcoming visits scheduled to UVa and Vanderbilt (Nov. 2-4). Virginia currently has two commitments in the class of 2013. They are Virginia Beach (VA) point guard Devon Hall and Encino (CA) point guard London Perrantes. Both prospects are expected to sign with the Hoos in the Early Signing Period, which begins on Nov. 14 and lasts through Nov. 21.

Issue No. 367 - Nov. 10, 2008 Selenski, Krzysik Earn ACC Honors Official UVa Media Relations News Releases Virginia's Paige Selenski was named the 2008 Atlantic Coast Conference field hockey Freshman of the Year, the league office announced Sunday following the championship game of the conference tournament. She is just the third player in program history to receive the honor and is the first since Meredith Elwell in 1996. "It is a fantastic recognition to Paige and the University of Virginia," said Virginia mentor Michele Madison. "She is an outstanding talent among UVa's great first-year class and no one works harder in practice. Her game gets better and better as she is a great listener and always accepts her role on the team. Selenksi, a forward, led Virginia in scoring with 17 goals and tied for a team-best with nine assists for 43 points this season. She played in all 21 games and tallied a team-high 97 shots. Additionally, six of her goals were game-winners. Meanwhile on the soccer field, Virginia senior defender Nikki Krzysik was named the 2008 ACC Defensive Player of the Year and five Cavaliers earned All-ACC honors as the conference announced its women's soccer honors on Tuesday. "Our entire program is extremely proud of the players who earned 2008 All-ACC honors, especially Nikki's distinction as the Defensive Player of the Year," said head coach Steve Swanson. "To have as many players as we had represented on both squads is a tribute to every member of our team and how hard they all have worked throughout the regular season. We are looking forward to the ACC tournament this week." Krzysik becomes the third Cavalier to be named ACC Defensive Player of the Year since the league split the player of the year award into an offensive and defensive honor in 2004. Sarah Huffman was the inaugural Defensive Player of the Year in 2004 and Becky Sauerbrunn took the honor last season. Read SabreMail No. 367 here. |
