UVa Women's Soccer Wins ACC Title UVa Athletics Media Relations Official Release The No. 8 Virginia women's soccer team captured the 2012 ACC Championship with a 4-0 win over No. 7 Maryland in Sunday's final at the WakeMed Soccer Park. The Cavaliers won their second conference championship in their history, matching the accomplishment of the 2004 team. Sophomore midfielder Morgan Brian and Caroline Miller each had a goal and an assist in Sunday's final, while Gloria Douglas and Makenzy Doniak also scored for the Cavaliers. It was Virginia's fifth consecutive win over a ranked opponent, outscoring its foes 19-3 in those games. "I'm so happy for his team," said head coach Steve Swanson. "We've improved steadily as the year has gone by and we've become a better and better team. Not only am I happy about the result, that we can call ourselves ACC Champions, but we played some great soccer this weekend as well." Brian, who entered the ACC Tournament with no goals and three assists during the regular season, had three goals and three assists during the Cavaliers' championship run to earn ACC Tournament MVP honors.

This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne Basketball Recruiting The Early Signing Period for Division 1 men's basketball begins on Nov. 14 and lasts through Nov. 21. This week, the Virginia basketball staff may learn whether or not they'll add a third recruit to the fold. So far, UVa has gained commitments from Cape Henry Collegiate (Virginia Beach, VA) point guard Devon Hall and Crespi (Encino, CA) point guard London Perrantes. Hall is rated on the 4-star level by Rivals.com and Scout.com, and Perrantes is rated a 4-star by ESPN.com and Scout.com. As has been reported here over the past month, the Cavaliers are in the market for a big man to go along with the two backcourt recruits. The candidates? Rock School (Gainesville, FL) center Joel Embiid. The 7'0" was at Marquette on an official visit this past weekend. He also made official trips to Texas, Kansas, UVa and Florida. Some reports indicate the promising talent could at least narrow his list further this week, and right now he is expected to sign in early. Briarcrest Christian (Eads, TN) power forward Austin Nichols. Multiple reports say the 6'9" senior has selected Memphis. Boone (Orlando, FL) 3-star power forward Schuyler Rimmer. Rimmer made an official visit to Vanderbilt this past weekend. Sunday, he tweeted the following: "About to leave Nashville. Gotta do some serious thinking about my future when I get home. Decision coming within the next week." In addition to Vandy, Rimmer is also considering Southern Cal, Stanford, and UVa. The 6'9", 235-pound prospect made official visits to all four finalists. I hope to have updates this week, and if there is any breaking news we'll be sure to report it. Also this week ... I'll have an update on Boston College High (Boston, MA) senior offensive lineman Jack McDonald, one of 18 high school seniors that have verbally committed to the Virginia program. McDonald discusses his senior season and looks ahead to his future at UVa. Check out the Good Ol Blog for the latest "Week In Review" feature (linked below). Linebacker LaChaston Smith turned in a record-setting performance for South Iredell (Statesville, N.C.) last week, helping his team to a first round playoff victory.
