Soccer Teams Top VT From Virginia Athletic Media Relations Official Releases The Virginia men's soccer team rallied from a 2-0 second-half deficit and took home a 3-2 overtime victory over Virginia Tech on Friday evening in front of 3,555 fans on Senior Night at Klockner Stadium. "We responded well in the second half," UVa coach George Gelnovatch said. "We played inspired in the second half, and getting that first goal got the crowd into it, which really ignited us. For this young group to do what they did tonight says a lot to me. We had to push every button in the book, but they responded." Zach Carroll headed home the golden goal with just 12 seconds remaining in overtime to extend Virginia's unbeaten streak against the Hokies to seven matches. Three players scored goals for the Cavaliers (8-6-1, 2-4-0 ACC), while Scott Thomsen notched a pair of assists off corner kicks. UVa finishes its regular season schedule with matches at Boston College (Oct. 26) and NC State (Nov. 1). The Virginia women's soccer team didn't need similar dramatics to take down the Hokies on Sunday. The No. 11 Cavaliers cruised to a 5-0 win in Blacksburg as senior forward Caroline Miller posted three goals and an assist, tying the school record for points in a game with seven. The Hoos are 12-4-1 overall and 5-3-1 in the ACC, which clinched the program's 19th straight season of finishing .500 or better in conference play. "This was a big result for us," said UVa coach Steve Swanson. "Coming off the disappointing loss at Florida State last week, this was a good response by our team. We take this rivalry very seriously and knew we were going to have to be at our best to get a win down here. This is a big confidence builder for us moving forward." The Cavaliers close out the regular season on Thursday at 7 p.m. as they host Boston College for Senior Night. |

This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne Basketball takes center stage in recruiting coverage this week, and for good reason. The Rock School (Gainesville, FL) senior center Joel Embiid and Cape Henry Collegiate (Virginia Beach, VA) senior point guard Devon Hall made official visits to the University of Virginia this past weekend. Embiid is a top remaining target, while Hall joins Encino (CA) point guard London Perrantes as the current members of Virginia's class of 2013. With two quality guards in the fold, Tony Bennett and company are hoping to finish out this class with a big man. The 7'0" Embiid is one of three primary targets along with Briarcrest Christian (Eads, TN) power forward Austin Nichols and Boone (Orlando, FL) power forward Schuyler Rimmer. Embiid made officials to Texas and Kansas in the weekends prior to this past one. Florida is expected to get an official as well with Marquette and Ohio State vying for the fifth and final one. This week, I'll have updates on both Embiid and Hall to talk about their visits. I'll also have more on the basketball recruiting front, including a preview of Cape Henry Collegiate's talented team. Hall leads the way, but head coach Mark Hall Sr. (Devon's father) boasts other major college prospects on his roster. CPC went undefeated last season, capturing a state championship in the process. This Thursday through Saturday, the aforementioned Rimmer is scheduled to be on Grounds for an official visit. I'll have reaction from the 6'9" standout following his experience. Rimmer is also considering offers from Southern Cal, Stanford, and Vanderbilt. On the football front, I'll have a full article up on class of 2013 commitment Malcolm Cook, who has turned in a memorable season at Fork Union Prep (VA). The senior safety has 14 interceptions on the year, including two in a win over Collegiate last Friday. Cook, who was featured in last Friday's Sabre Scoop feature, talks football and recruiting in this latest update.

Must-Read Post For UVa Baseball Fans CMUHoo, a poster on TheSabre.com, wrote out a post-practice recap about the Virginia baseball team after the Hoos wrapped up its fall season this past weekend. Here are a couple of paragraphs from that post: "Offense: Let's start with the biggest positive first. We should have a very good offense this season. We lost Bruno, Taylor and Werman, but return all the other regulars (mostly freshman last year) from what was already a solid offense. Add in Joe McCarthy, a healthy Mike Papi, and some new young depth, along with a year in the weight room for last year's freshman, and I really like how things set up. Pitching: The big question coming into the fall was who would step up among the young arms. At the moment, that's still an open question. We know that there is talent among the freshmen, but we will need an awful lot of them to contribute this spring, and that is asking a lot. Injuries to a whole bunch of returners make predicting the pitching staff for the spring difficult, because as an outsider I don't know who will be available, but I'll take a shot at it." Read the full post, including breakdowns by position and an overview, here.

Issue No. 426 - Dec. 28, 2009 Blog Banter: A Bennett Thought On Sene By Kris Wright Cvillehoops13 and I have both commented recently on the Hoos' struggles defending on-ball screens. Essentially, several players are over-playing the dribbler as the screener's defender. As a follow-up to those discussions, here's a thought from UVa coach Tony Bennett on Assane Sene, who started for the first time this season and played 28 minutes in the win over NJIT. "He had probably his best practice of the year over the break where he really scored well, was catching everything," Bennett said. "He guards ball screens pretty well. A lot of teams look at your five man and they'll ball screen him a lot and he's been real good defensively with that." As the season moves along, Sene's ability to continue to grasp some of the defensive nuances that Coach Bennett prefers could be a key to his playing time and the team's competitiveness in ACC play. Read SabreMail No. 426 here. |
