Mid-June Cavalier Sports Recap
Baseball
UVA Baseball finished their season 51-14, one win shy of a second consecutive appearance at the College World Series. After earning the fifth overall seed in the tournament, the Cavaliers hosted the NCAA Regionals, beating VCU, Ole Miss, and St. John’s on their way to the NCAA Super Regionals. UVA hosted the NCAA Super Regionals, and after winning the first game against Oklahoma 3-2, they lost the next two; eliminating them from the tournament. Though the players are surely let down, not making the College World Series should not take away from the fact that the baseball program had a very successful season and will be in contention again to make noise at the NCAA tournament.
Nine members of the team, Jarrett Parker, Phil Gosselin, Robert Morey, Kevin Arico, Dan Grovatt, Tyler Cannon, Tyler Wilson, Kenny Swab, and Neal Davis, were chosen in the 2010 MLB Draft.
Men’s Tennis
Alex Domijan, who is the top rated American junior player, has signed a National Letter of Intent to play at UVA, showing that the quality of the UVA Men’s Tennis team will continue to be high. Current team members Sanam Singh, Drew Courtney, and Michael Shabaz were named Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-Americans. In Tennis Alumni news, Virginiasports.com reported that Dominic Inglot has been given the men’s doubles wild card draw at Wimbledon.
Men’s Lacrosse
The 2010 Major League Lacrosse Draft saw three UVA players get selected. Ken Clausen was chosen fifth (first round), Brian Carroll sixth (first round), and Ryan Nizolek twenty seventh (fifth round). After great seasons for UVA, it’s nice to know it wasn’t just because we are UVA fans that we knew Clausen, Caroll, and Nizloek were such good players.
Golf
The UVA Men’s Golf team had a great showing at the NCAA Tournament, finishing 11th(out of 30), only one stroke behind 8th place which would have placed them in a four way playoff for the eighth seed to move on to the match play portion of the Golf NCAA Tournament. The team also finished only two strokes behind 7th place. Will Collins and Ben Kohles were named to the Golf Coaches Association of America’s All-East Region team and Kohles was also an honorable mention all-american.
