If you&#8217;ve got to play a defending league champion, this is the way to do it. Chattanooga, which meets the University of Richmond at 5 p.m. at the Robins Center, lost the top four scorers off last season&#8217;s Southern Conference title-winning team. Additionally, two starters and two top reserves are out until next month, because of injuries and an academic issue in one case. The Mocs had eight healthy scholarship players as their season began.           ]]></description>

Midway through the fourth quarter, Virginia got the ball and quarterback Jameel Sewell (Hermitage) threw a 38-yard strike to Perry Jones. It was the first offensive spark of the half, and it appeared as if the Cavs might mount a comeback. Instead, Sewell was sacked by Rennie Moore, Jones ran for a loss of a yard, and Kavell Conner (Manchester) pummeled Sewell on third down. A personal foul penalty extended the drive, but the damage was done.           ]]></description>

CHARLOTTESVILLE&#8212;Mike Scott scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and Sylven Landesberg added 14 points to lead Virginia to a 76-55 win over Oral Roberts in the final states-side game of the Cancun Challenge yesterday. &#8220;It&#8217;s baby steps, as they say,&#8220; said first-year Virginia coach Tony Bennett, when asked about his team&#8217;s progress. &#8220;I thought we reeled it back in and defensively didn&#8217;t let it get out of hand in the second half.           ]]></description>

The Virginia Tech and Virginia women&#8217;s soccer teams were eliminated from the NCAA tournament Friday. Virginia Tech (16-8) fell to host Portland (21-1) 4-1. The third-round playoff game was the furthest the Hokies have advanced. Julian Johnson scored Tech&#8217;s only goal. All five goals were scored in the first half.   Coastal Carolina beat Liberty 25-18, 25-18, 25-27, 25-21 to win the Big South volleyball championship at Radford. The Chanticleers last won the title in 1998 with a 3-1 victory over Liberty.           ]]></description>

BLACKSBURG - Virginia Tech and its fans celebrated the past yesterday at a full Lane Stadium, cheering the contributions of the Hokies&#8217; seniors before and during a 38-10 win over North Carolina State. One by one, they jogged out of the tunnel in the north end zone, listened to the applause and gave performances worthy of it: the undersized linebacker, a former walk-on, who became one of their best players; the free safety who struggled earlier this fall but is finishing well; the cornerback who battled a knee injury all season.           ]]></description>

To err is human. To err a second time apparently is unacceptable for members of the women&#8217;s basketball program at the University of Tennessee. The Lady Vols&#8217; mission this season is clear: prove that last year&#8217;s 22-11 detour into mediocrity&#8212;a detour that including a shocking loss to Ball State in the first round of the NCAA tournament&#8212;was little more than an aberration.           ]]></description>

On his ninth carry in Virginia Tech&#8217;s win over N.C. State, Hokies tailback Ryan Williams became the most productive freshman rusher in ACC and Tech history. With a 10-yard gain, Williams, a redshirt freshman, eclipsed both records, set last season by Tech redshirt freshman Darren Evans, who ran for 1,265 yards. Evans suffered a season-ending knee injury in August.           ]]></description>

DURHAM, N.C.&#8212;Andre Dawkins scored a season-high 20 points and No. 9 Duke matched a school record with 18 3-pointers in a 104-67 romp against Radford (2-1) yesterday. Nolan Smith added 20 points and Jon Scheyer had 18 for the Blue Devils (4-0). They overwhelmed Radford during a first half in which they shot 50 percent, matched the school record with 13 3s in a half and put this one away with a huge run.           ]]></description>

At one point in the second half, Virginia Commonwealth forward Larry Sanders started mopping a wet spot on the floor.

With nothing left to lose, Virginia emptied the playbook and enjoyed some of its biggest gains of the season. But like almost everything else this year, the momentum came crashing down. Mikell Simpson was injured, Jameel Sewell was sacked six times in the fourth quarter, and Virginia&#8217;s players walked off the field behind police escort as Clemson&#8217;s fans stormed the field to celebrate a division title.           ]]></description>

Conservative game plans. Defensive superiority. An afternoon of trying to acquire field position.           ]]></description>

Spiders QB Eric Ward arrived as a member of the 2005 recruiting class. Fifteen individuals from of that class now start for UR. As Jeff Hanson recalls, it was considered a solid class on signing day, not a remarkable one. Hanson has been a University of Richmond assistant football coach for 28 years, so he&#8217;s not short on perspective. The group the Spiders signed in February of 2005 was the first brought to UR by head coach Dave Clawson.           ]]></description>

A transfer and injuries moved Regan to starting status, and his 40-yard TD completion to David Knight with 12 seconds remaining lifted the Indians to a victory that secured a Southern Conference championship and invitation to the Tangerine Bowl. &#8220;I&#8217;m still numb,&#8220; Holtz said after the game.

Playing defense for Hampden-Sydney isn&#8217;t a glamorous job. After 60 minutes of grinding down offensive lines and running backs, it&#8217;s usually quarterback Corey Sedlar (Mills Godwin) picking up the accolades and passing records. But over the course of the season, the Tigers&#8217; defense has proved to be just as talented as its heralded offense.           ]]></description>

Jeff Capel and Oklahoma make a much-anticipated visit to the sold-out Siegel Center tonight. While much of the focus has been on the return of Virginia Commonwealth&#8217;s former coach and the opportunity to get a signature win over the 17th-ranked team in the country, the Rams (1-1) may be better served by focusing upon themselves. Some problems emerged in an eyebrow-raising 83-67 loss at Western Michigan Wednesday, a loss that was almost as disturbing for &#8216;how much&#8217; as for &#8216;how&#8217;. This was a team the Rams whipped by 17 points last year.           ]]></description>

WILLIAMSBURG For two stretches, University of Richmond defenders lost William and Mary shooters. As a result, the Spiders lost the game. The Tribe pulled a 78-71 upset before 2,104 at William and Mary Hall last night. The Tribe made 10 3-pointers, not an extraordinary number. But three in a row came in the last 1:18 of the first half, and that flurry allowed W&amp;M to take a one-point lead and momentum at intermission. The sequence repeated in the second half. W&amp;M&#8217;s David Schneider (25 points) hit two 3-pointers and a shorter jumper in less than 60 seconds, moving the Tribe (1-2) to a six-point lead with 10 minutes left in its home opener.           ]]></description>

BLACKSBURG Her chest heaved and her feet burned as she ran across the lumpy field. None of it felt perfect to Marika Gray. But on this July day in Alexandria, perfect didn&#8217;t matter, because Gray was playing soccer again, nine months after a left knee injury shortened her sophomore season at Virginia Tech. She had established herself as a legitimate ACC player, before her knee made her start over, back on the lumpy field at home, playing against 14-year-olds from her club&#8217;s younger team. The time away from soccer deteriorated her touch and fitness worse than she had imagined. A ball rolled her way and bounced off her shin. She could barely sprint without sucking wind.           ]]></description>

Brittani Shells had 20 points, Abby Oliver added 16 and Danielle Bell had 13 as host Richmond defeated George Mason 78-52 yesterday. The teams swapped leads for the first 10 minutes of the game, but the Patriots&#8217; 17 first-half turnovers and a 20-7 first-half run by the Spiders put GMU far behind by halftime. Brittany Poindexter and Amber Easter each had 14 points for the Patriots.           ]]></description>

One game will be a rematch of one of the greatest NCAA championship games in history, a chance to relive Mario&#8217;s Miracle. And the first game could be more intriguing than the nightcap. Top-ranked Kansas will face Memphis in St. Louis tonight, bringing back memories of their 2008 showdown for the title. The early game pits Arkansas and No. 20 Louisville, with coach John Pelphrey going up against mentor Rick Pitino with just six scholarship players.           ]]></description>

Two hours before Villanova played the University of Richmond at UR Stadium on Nov. 7, Dennis Blackburn repeatedly bent over with a stencil in his left hand and a can of white spray paint in his right. Up the sideline he walked, spraying the edges of yard-markers so they would be precisely four inches wide, with well-defined corners. Blackburn, wearing a hounds tooth check hat, then walked to the numbers on the field and touched up each of them with a spray of white. He studied the grass, looking for divots to repair, or other blemishes. There weren&#8217;t many. UR Stadium&#8217;s grass is &#8220;as quality a turf as you&#8217;re going to see anywhere in college athletics,&#8220; said Jim Miller, the Spiders&#8217; athletic director.           ]]></description>

Projected starting lineups: &nbsp; Notable: The Cavs will be playing without center Assane Sene, who has been suspended for the first three games, and forward Jamil Tucker, who is taking an indefinite leave of absence to focus on personal matters. Guard Calvin Baker will likely sit out as he continues to recover from arthroscopic knee surgery. Forward Mike Scott will play, though he will rotate with Jerome Meyinsse because of a foot injury. The only other meeting between these schools came last year when Virginia won 77-75 in Charlottesville. Sylven Landesberg scored 21 points in that game. Virginia has lost its past 10 games in the state of Florida, dating to 2001.            ]]></description>

As the final piece of his team&#8217;s preparations for yesterday&#8217;s Old Dominion Athletic Conference clash with Randolph-Macon, Hampden-Sydney coach Marty Favret made his players watch a video Friday night.

Today, the Hokies will play under that banner again, as they begin their season at 4 p.m. against Brown, a season whose success will hinge almost entirely on whether they can return the NCAAs.           ]]></description>
