Today, Virginia (14-3-3) looks to keep things going when it hosts visiting Bucknell in the second round of the NCAAs. The winner moves on to face the N.C. State-Portland winner.

For the third time in six years, the Cavaliers came out to the familiar confines of Drake Stadium and lost, this time 3-0 Friday in an NCAA third-round match.

On Sunday afternoon, Virginia brought its ‘A’ game against Miami when it absolutely had to have it. Paced by a Sinead Farrelly goal in the 54th minute, UVa defeated the Hurricanes, 2-0, on a chilly, overcast day at Klockner Stadium.

UVa, thanks to a beautiful goal by Sinead Farrelly just before halftime and a huge save by goalie Chantel Jones late in the contest, upset the Seminoles 1-0 in front of a crowd of 809.

It’s been a long time since the Virginia men’s and women’s soccer teams both had regular-season games in late October that meant so much.

If the Virginia men’s soccer team is going to reach the levels to which it aspires, they’ll likely need Tony Tchani to be Tony Tchani.

Tonight, Virginia (8-3-1, 2-3) plays host to Howard at Klockner Stadium in what figures to be a tune-up for a home game versus Boston College on Sunday. The Eagles are coming off an upset of No. 2-ranked North Carolina on Saturday.

No. 11 UVa had the better of play for the majority of the contest versus Liberty, but couldn’t capitalize when it needed to, failed to mark up on a restart and played the Flames to a 1-1 tie.

Jess Rostedt’s goal with just one second remaining in regulation saved Virginia from its second straight ACC defeat as UVa and Maryland played to a 2-2 tie.

The latest head-scratcher came Wednesday night at Klockner Stadium. Virginia Tech, with the help of a goal by Julian Johnson in the 76th minute, defeated Virginia, 2-1.

Agorsor’s goal with just under a minute remaining in the second overtime gave No. 11 Virginia a much-needed 1-0 double-overtime win over VCU.

Last season, the Virginia women’s soccer team lost 1-0 to Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. The memory of that performance is still fairly fresh on the minds of UVa players.

No. 14 UVa, behind a well-balanced scoring attack, atoned for a poor loss to N.C. State on Thursday night with a 3-0 win over Strosberg’s crew.

Clemson, thanks to a slightly fluky goal late in the first half by Mike Mattson, shocked No. 11 UVa, 1-0, to notch its first win of the season.

Tonight, the No. 11 Wahoos host winless Clemson (0-5-1, 0-2-0 ACC) in a matchup that has all the makings of a “trap game.”

Tonight, Virginia opens its ACC slate on the road at N.C. State. UVa (5-1-2) is riding a seven-game unbeaten streak. The No. 14 Cavaliers haven’t lost since the season opener at Penn State.

Sinead Farrelly’s goal, coupled with a late tally from Meghan Lenczyk, propelled Virginia to a little bit harder than
expected 2-0 win in front of a crowd of 902 at Klockner Stadium.

Tony Tchani hardly knows his father — he’s only met him a couple of times. The Virginia sophomore’s formative years were spent almost entirely with his mother in Cameroon.

But Virginia coach George Gelnovatch didn’t seem too perturbed after the team’s uninspiring 1-0 win over Mount Saint Mary’s.

No. 16 Virginia, thanks to three goals in the first stanza, bounced back from a disappointing tie against the Mountaineers with a 4-0 victory over Seton Hall.

When it was over, No. 15 UVa had a disappointing 1-1 tie after a goal by the Mountaineers’ Bry McCarthy.

The West Coast was kind to the Virginia men’s and women’s soccer teams. Now both squads are hoping for similar success on this side of the country.

Tonight, Gelnovatch will unveil his new creation when Virginia opens its regular season on the road at Portland as part of the Nike Invitational.

Caroline Miller has the ability to make defenders look downright silly — something she did so on numerous occasions on Sunday afternoon in notching two goals and an assist during Virginia’s 7-0 shellacking of Hofstra.

Virginia, behind a goal and three assists from freshman Caroline Miller, completed its annual thumping of Liberty, 5-0, in front of a crowd of 1,060 on Friday night at Klockner Stadium.

When it comes to Virginia sports, there really isn’t a surer thing than the women’s soccer team faring well in its first home game.

Hopefully, for the sake of the Virginia women’s soccer team, the old axiom of “defense wins championships” isn’t true. If it is, UVa coach Steve Swanson could have some rough sailing ahead.

On a night where Virginia couldn’t finish anything, a sharp Connecticut team took advantage of its own scant opportunities and came up with a pair of goals to end the Cavaliers’ season.
