Board appoints new COO/EVP

Former Ernst & Young business executive Patrick D. Hogan assumes role, replaces Michael Strine

By Matthew Comey Cavalier Daily Senior Writer

Hua Xin | Cavalier Daily

The Board of Visitors announced Friday morning that Patrick D. Hogan will serve as chief operating officer and executive vice president to fill the vacancy left by Michael Strine. Strine resigned from the position in August.

Former Ernst & Young executive Patrick D. Hogan will fill the role of executive vice president and chief operating officer the University announced Friday morning.

Michael Strine formerly held the position but resigned in August in the cloud of controversy that surrounded the attempted ouster of University President Teresa Sullivan.

The chief operating officer works with the provost in leading all financial planning and budgeting, developing a funding model for the University, developing financial and operational policy, and ensuring that financial resources are deployed with integrity.

“I am very honored and humbled for the opportunity to work with this great team — President Sullivan, our Provost

John Simon, Rector [Helen] Dragas, the Board of Visitors and the entire University community,” Hogan said.

The announcement came in a University-wide email Sullivan sent at 9 a.m. Friday morning that prematurely announced the Board of Visitors had already approved Hogan, 60. In fact, the Board did not approve Hogan’s appointment until its open session at 9:30 a.m.

“Pat Hogan brings enormous depth of knowledge and experience in areas critical to U.Va.‘s future,” Sullivan said in the email. “His business, management and health-care expertise complement the broad academic background of Provost John Simon. Together, this team puts the University in a strong position to meet the challenges facing all of higher Please see COO, Page A3

BOV changes voting rules Amendments require full Board meeting for president’s dismissal, resignation

By Matthew Comey Cavalier Daily Senior Writer

In an effort to address concerns about a lack of transparency that arose during the forced resignation of University President Teresa Sullivan, the Board of Visitors amended its voting procedures and committee structures in a Friday meeting. But critics say these new policies will create little substantive change.

The committee passed a resolution proposed by Board Member Timothy Robertson that requires a full Board meeting in the event of a resignation or removal of a University president. It passed unanimously.

Governance and Engagement Committee Chair George Martin also proposed an amendment mandating a super majority — four out of six members — for votes on Executive Committee actions . The proposal passed unopposed.

Ye t t h e c o n t r o v e r s y t h i s summer was not simply a result of the Board’s voting procedures, critics contend. Those opposed to the Board’s actions during the summer say a lack of transparency and faculty inability to weigh in on certain Board decisions were at the crux of the matter. “It’s still a very opaque body and we need a greater amount of transparency and democracy,” fourth– year College student Claire Wyatt said. Wyatt was among a handful of students protesting Friday’s Board meeting.

In an attempt to address some of these concerns, the Board also passed a motion to allow Sullivan to appoint a faculty member to each Board committee.

Sullivan praised the proposal, saying it was a good way to take advantage of the resources at the University.

“We have a top of the line architecture school, which

could help the Buildings and Grounds Committee, and we have two world class business schools in terms of helping the Finance Committee,” Sullivan said . “It is advantageous for more faculty members to know more members of the Board and vice versa.”

But Wyatt said despite the Board’s efforts there were a number of students who still felt concerned about the summer. “The structural issues underlying what led to it are still up in the air and people still have a general distrust,” she said.

The committee decided that it would spend more time looking into outside consultants to try to address these concerns.

The meeting opened with a conference call to Richard Chait, a professor emeritus of education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Chait Please see BOV, Page A3

by the same architectural standards. The regulations included specifications for wider hallways and covered entrances, among other stipulations.

These new requirements, Remley said, are unfair interpretations of Virginia Code.

“My ability to fulfill my duties is compromised and in good faith I can no longer serve in my role,” she said in an email to her colleagues.

Because of pressure largely

from Attorney General Ken C u c c i n e l l i , V i r g i n i a ’s 2 0 abortion clinics will have to undergo pricey renovations in a short timeframe to meet the new requirements.

“When the Attorney General puts politics before public health and his personal ideological agenda above the law, it has real consequences for Virginians,” Virginia Senator Mark Herring (D-Loudon and Fairfax Counties) said in press release. “In this case, Virginia lost a dedicated public servant in Dr. Remley, whose advocacy on behalf of Virginia women will be sorely missed.”

But Virginia Board of Health Chair Bruce Edwards said he did not feel “bullied” by the attorney general.

“The Board of Health can only listen to the attorney general,” Edwards said. “His [Ken Cuccinelli’s] office was advising us of certain things and I, like others, got a lot of information of the deeper issues and sub issues.”

Board of Visitors members Friday brainstormed strategies they could use to support the president’s leadership role and maximize the skills and talent of the Board.

IN BRIEF

Voter registration chief trashes forms The issue of voter fraud resurfaced last week when Rockingham County resident Colin Small was arrested for attempting to dispose of completed voter registration forms.

Small, a voter registration supervisor, worked for an independent private organization that the Republican Party of Virginia contracted to conduct voter registration.

“The Rockingham County Sheriff ’s Office... made an arrest in the investigation of voter registration fraud that began on the afternoon of Oct. 15th when law enforcement received a citizen complaint of voter registration application forms being found in a dumpster behind a business in the City of Harrisonburg,” according to a statement from the Sheriff’s office.

Pat Mullins, Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia said he was alarmed by Small’s actions.

“The actions taken by this individual are a direct contradiction of both his training and

explicit instructions given to him,” Mullins said in a statement. “The Republican Party of Virginia will not tolerate any action by any person that could threaten the integrity of our electoral process.”

The Republican Party of Virginia fired Small after learning of his alleged actions, Mullins said.

Cases involving voter fraud are rare, however, according to Charlottesville Registrar Sheri Iachetta.

“We have never had any known cases of voter registration fraud in the past,” Iachetta said.

The U.S. District Attorney’s Office is responsible for ensuring election fraud does not take place and last week designated Principal Assistant United States Attorney Sharon Burnham to oversee complaints about voting rights abuses.

As for Small, he now faces 13 felony and misdemeanor counts related to voter fraud.

COO | Hogan to establish trust, build strong relationships Continued from page A1 education.”

Hogan has 35 years of business experience with Ernst & Young, a global professional services firm. He was a longtime member of the McIntire Advisory Board and last year was appointed to the Medical Center Operating Board.

“On behalf of the Board I would like to express our very enthusiastic support for Mr. Hogan,” Dragas said in a press conference. ”I know the University community will find

his very thoughtful nature and his impressive business experience as well as his broad financial background will serve the University well.”

Hogan moved to Virginia when he was 12 years old, attended high school in Colonial Heights and later graduated from Old Dominion University, Dragas said. Hogan and his wife recently moved to Charlottesville after working abroad for some time with Ernst & Young. Hogan has daughters who graduated from the University.

Hogan addressed how Strine’s sudden departure from the University, after just 13 months in the chief operating officer position, would affect the approach he takes to his new role.

“The first thing I need to do is to cultivate and build some strong relationships,” he said.

“To build effective teams, you also have to establish trust and have great transparency. I can assure you that teamwork, trust and transparency will be really important to me.”

During a Friday press conference Hogan was also asked to

speak about how his responsibilities would change if the Rector were to leave or be removed in January. The Virginia General Assembly is set to vote to approve or reject the governor’s Board appointments in January, including the reappointment of Dragas to another term.

Hogan avoided directly answering the question, but said there would be many individuals involved in creating the goals of the University and that his number one duty will be to report to the president.

“I’m confident that Pat Hogan will contribute significantly to the prodigious task of ensuring U.Va reaches long-term financial stability.” Dragas said.

Hogan’s contract will be effective for five years, and he will receive a $450,000 annual salary.

The appointment will take effect Oct. 25. Hogan said one of his first orders of business will be to find a replacement for former Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Yoke San Reynolds, who retired earlier this year.

Free for all

A legal misunderstanding in Minnesota shows states need to clarify their policies about online education Coursera, the provider of massive open online courses (MOOCs) that has teamed with 33 institutions including the University, was banned last week from the state of Minnesota for a period of roughly one day. Considering there were no colleges in Minnesota that were partnered with Coursera, this development struck many as odd. The one-day legal fiasco in Minnesota was the result of confusion between the state and the company and serves as a reminder that political bodies need to clarify the definition of MOOCs. To ensure that online education is governed by local and state laws, legislators must specify the kinds of statues that will apply to MOOCs within their boundaries.

In Minnesota, the debacle began Thursday after the state’s Office of Higher Education decided to actively enforce a law that had been on the books for more than two decades. In July, the state sent a letter to bodies providing higher education in Minnesota, including Coursera. The letter reminded its audience of a stipulation in Minnesota law: Degreegranting institutions must have state permission and pay a minor licensing fee before teaching within the state’s borders. According to the state, Coursera had not abided by this requirement, and so education officials informed the California company that it was no longer welcome in Minnesota. Thereafter, Coursera updated its terms of service to tell Minnesota residents they were not allowed to take any MOOCs on Coursera, unless Minnesotan students took those MOOCs outside of state lines.

For several reasons, Coursera and other analysts found this upheaval surprising if not outright bizarre.

First, as Coursera is not a “degree-granting institution” it appeared that the law in question was simply misapplied. Moreover, according to The Washington

Post, similar registration laws exist in states beyond Minnesota to ensure that online providers of education are properly vetted. The goal is consumer protection: The state needs to certify digital institutions to help its residents avoid being scammed. Several commentators, however, have noted that Coursera and other MOOCs, which are free, are altruistic platforms that pose no threat to consumers. To disallow students from accessing MOOCs would be unfair, unreasonable and impossible for states to enforce.

The critics who condemned Minnesota altered their tone when the state backpedalled Friday. Larry Pogemiller, the director of the Office of Higher Education, released a statement explaining why Coursera was newly permissible. If Pogemiller’s statement is any indication, the fact that Coursera was free made it immune from the typical process.

Minnesota’s law was to protect consumers; if it is argued that a free MOOC does not concern them, then the state was correct to retract its judgment last week. Nevertheless, this case is an example of a MOOC company operating outside the realm of the law. That MOOCs are free and aim to inform should not hide the fact that they are run by businesses, at least in the case of Coursera. Indeed, Coursera is currently exempt from state law because its courses are free and without certification, but the company’s practice is subject to change. Although an agreement was reached last week in Minnesota, this incident displays that legislators will need to clarify their policies on education licensing. These MOOC corporations — which may eventually charge or give credit — should not be allowed to conduct for-profit business in states without the prudent oversight demanded of other enterprises.

Scientology, though, tends to be litigous and if you don’t get sued, you can end up losing sleep, wondering if you are going to get sued. As we all know, they stress the importance of communication and call it “the universal solvent.”

Perhaps like the jar that holds that universal solvent, there is one thing that they don’t want communication to dissolve.”

Do not condone ill-founded belief in yourself or others. Do not accept without question the antiquated and predetermined beliefs of your party — think for yourself.

So while you may think you can trust the person who is on the receiving end of a sext, it is not always so; especially not in the case of strangers. Betrayal by the other party involved can occur and can result in harmful consequences, emotionally, physically and even legally. If you are pressured by a long distance relationship or even by a stranger online, do not allow yourself to become a victim. Do not send pictures of yourself in compromising positions to anyone, because while you may think you are safe, you can never be sure and those pictures might come back to haunt you.

Deacons down Virginia, 16-10 Special teams miscues cause Cavaliers’ sixth straight loss; Virginia remains winless in ACC play

By Daniel Weltz

Cavalier Daily Senior Associate Editor The Virginia football team’s first special teams blunder helped stake Wake Forest to an early lead. The unit’s last blunder cost the Cavaliers’ offense any chance of making up that margin in the game’s final minutes.

The Demon Deacons (4-3, 2-3 ACC) snapped a two-game losing streak, winning for just the second time in their last 13 games at Scott Stadium and handing the Cavaliers (2-6, 0-3 ACC) their sixth straight defeat Saturday, 16-10.

Despite holding Wake Forest to 1-for-15 on third down conversion attempts and outgaining their opponent for the fourth straight week, the Cavaliers

remain one of two winless teams in ACC play. Virginia now enters its bye week on its longest losing streak since the end of the 2009 season, coach Al Groh’s final with the University before coach Mike London took over as head coach.

“I’d rather play tomorrow,” sophomore defensive tackle Chris Brathwaite said of the bye week.

“These last six games, you build up a lot of anger and aggression and you want to just go out there and beat up on the person in front of you.”

Cavs score thrilling win Freshman defender Zach Carroll completes late comeback with overtime goal

By Ben Baskin

Cavalier Daily Associate Editor The Virginia men’s soccer team rallied back from a seemingly insurmountable secondhalf deficit to earn a dramatic 3-2 overtime victory against Virginia Tech Friday.

The Cavaliers (8-6-1, 2-4 ACC) found themselves in a twogoal hole when freshman forward Kai Marshall tapped in his first collegiate score in the 56th minute to give Virginia Tech a 2-0 lead. Virginia then mounted a furious comeback, scoring two quick goals — including the equalizer in the 74th minute — and eventually securing the victory when freshman defender Zach Carroll put away a golden goal header off a corner kick with 12 seconds remaining in the first overtime period.

“The response in the second half was good,” coach George Gelnovatch said. “We played inspired. 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.”

The first period started off slowly, but the Hokies (5-7-3, 0-5-1 ACC) got on the board first in the 28th minute after an auspicious bounce off the post led to an uncontested scoring opportunity.

Sophomore goalkeeper Spencer LaCivita came out to challenge a header attempt, but was unable to reach the ball and was left helpless to watch as the ball careened off the right goal post and back into the field of play.

Junior forward David Clemens, propitiously positioned in front of net, claimed the rebound and easily tapped the ball into the goal for the lead and his teamleading seventh score of the se ason.

The Cavaliers’ best chance to equalize in the first period came in a chaotic series near the end of the half when Virginia had

three consecutive shots on goal.

Hokie junior goalkeeper Kyle Renfro, the ACC leader with 64 saves, showed his athletic prowess on a diving stop of a wellplaced low strike by freshman midfielder Jordan Poarch in the 37th minute to send the game to halftime with Virginia Tech still leading 1-0.

In the 56th minute, Virginia Tech freshman forward Connor Pompilio — after making several nifty moves with the ball — found freshman forward Daniel Lauretano open on the left wing. Lauretano controlled the pass, sending a perfectly placed cross to the back post, and Marshall lightly placed the ball into the net to expand the Hokies’ lead.

The Cavaliers maintained an attacking style of play, however, refusing to concede defeat despite the deficit.

during the next two weeks.

“The defense did a really good job today,” coach Mike London said. “At one point [the Demon Deacons] were 0-for-11 on third downs ... but they scored 16 and we scored 10, so we gave up too many points and didn’t score enough.”

Because of the sports world’s preoccupation with offensive football, the Cavaliers’ wearying quarterback controversy

The No. 11 Virginia women’s soccer team routed rival Virginia Tech 5-0 Sunday in Blacksburg behind a hat trick from senior forward Caroline Miller.

The Cavaliers (12-4-1, 5-3-1 ACC) came out pressuring the Hokies (12-5-1, 3-5-1 ACC) from the very beginning. In the 28th minute, Miller took a pass from sophomore forward Danielle Colaprico in the box and found the back of the net for her 10th goal of the season.

minute, Miller added to her total with a shot inside the posts off an assist from sophomore midfielder Morgan Brian. Less than 10 minutes later, Miller completed the hat trick, with a score off a cross from freshman forward Makenzy Doniak in the 74th minute. Junior forward Gloria Douglas added the team’s fourth goal in the 76th minute and junior midfielder Shasta Fisher added the final tally in the 84th minute.

Virginia is for viewers 25th anniversary of Virginia Film Festival invades Charlottesville, brings movie magic by ben willis What type of movies are you seeing this fall? I’m guessing some blockbusters are on your list. But if you find the movies that Hollywood pumps out to be somewhat predictable, then you should check out the Virginia Film Festival, an event that has been bringing great films to Charlottesville for 25 years.

Perhaps one of the greatest strengths of the Virginia Film Festival is its diversity. Lauren Lukow, a third year and Director’s Assistant at the festival said this year they will be partnering with the University Miller Center to present a ‘Presidency in Film’ series.

The series will include Alan J. Pakula’s 1976 classic All the President’s Men, an American staple

about the Watergate scandal, as well as Roger Michell’s Hyde Park on the Hudson, a new film about Franklin D. Roosevelt — played by comic legend Bill Murray — that is already generating subs tantial O sc ar buz z .

There will be panels after both films during which the audiences can discuss their thoughts and reactions. The panel after All the President’s Men will be particularly exciting, as the two intrepid journalists at the center of the film’s plot will be making an appearance.

“It will be an especially incredible opportunity to see both Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein together again, speaking on the same stage, giving

first-rate insight into their experiences with Watergate,” Lukow said.

All the President’s Men will be shown at the Paramount Theater Friday, Nov. 2 at 7 p.m., , and Hyde Park on the Hudson will be screened at the Newcomb Hall Theater Saturday, Nov. 3 at 6:15 p.m.

Another film that’s making the festival rounds is Compliance, a terrifying story based on true events. A manager at a fast food restaurant receives a call from someone whom she thinks is a cop, who proceeds to tell her that one of her employees has stolen some money. What follows is a nightmare for the young girl who has been accused. The film explores the depths to which people will submit to authority and their subsequent capacity for evil.

Additionally, David O. Russell’s The Silver Linings Playbook, which boasts an expert cast of both

rising stars and veteran players, from Jennifer Lawrence to Robert D e N ir o , pr o mis e s t o bring in a packed audience, especially given its apparently enormous Oscar potential.

For those who are interested in smaller, more visually oriented films, Lukow recommended Tchoupitoulas. Named after a street in New Orleans, it follows a group of boys who experience the nightlife of the city for the first time.

“It doesn’t look incredibly plot-heavy, but from what I’ve seen, it visually looks amazing,” she said.

“The cinematography, color, lighting, everything — I recommend it to anyone who is really intrigued by the actual art of making film.” Tchoupitoulas is showing at the Regal 4 Downtown Mall Thursday, Nov. 1 at 8:30 p.m.

This Week in Arts History: James Brown: Live at the Apollo Mainstream music today has changed drastically from the smooth sounds of the ‘60s, at least when it comes to quality and catchiness. For many modern listeners, “oldies but goodies” have fallen by the wayside, only to be replaced with the latest kitschy ditty from Katy Perry or Ke$ha. So for a moment, let’s take a trip back in time to Oct. 24, 1962.

On this date, James Brown and the Famous Flames gave an unforgettable performance at the Apollo Theater in Harlem that was thankfully captured on an album titled Live at the Apollo. The album, which was released the following year, went on to spend an unprecedented 66 weeks at number two on the Billboard charts and was named the 24th greatest album of all time by Rolling Stone magazine in 2003.

Brown’s music crosses generations, and it has the potential to make even the grumpiest of listeners “feel good.”

Make sure to celebrate Brown’s performance at the Apollo this Wednesday by listening to his legendary work.

Football | London: 60-yard punt return ‘demoralizing’ Continued from page B1 inopportune times.

Sophomore running back Khalek Shepherd eased under the final booming punt from Wake Forest redshirt freshman Alexander Kinal while the wind swirled over Charlottesville. The ball sailed over the hands of Shepherd, careened off the returner’s facemask and bounced to Wake Forest redshirt sophomore safety Joe LaBarbera for the final, clinching error. The Demon Deacons used three kneel downs to secure the six-point victory.

“It’s frustrating because we have a bunch of try-hard kids that want to get it done right, but we’re not getting it done,” London said. “We’ve got to find a way to get it done and help them to be successful.”

Wake Forest redshirt senior wide receiver Lovell Jackson returned sophomore Alec Vozenilek’s opening punt 60 yards to set up first down at the Cavalier 16-yard line. On the Demon

Deacons’ first play from scrimmage, redshirt junior running back Josh Harris took a direct snap and punched it in for a touchdown. Wake Forest became Virginia’s third opponent this season and the second straight to score on or before its first play from scrimmage.

“It’s very demoralizing,” London said. “You make things difficult for yourself when you continue to move the ball on special teams.”

After gaining just 12 yards on their first three drives, the Cavaliers responded with a 56-yard completion between former high school teammates sophomore quarterback Phillip Sims and junior wide receiver Tim Smith.

The drive stalled, however, and redshirt freshman placekicker Ian Frye’s 44-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right.

The Virginia offense cracked the scoreboard just before the first half concluded. Sims completed 7-of-11 passes in the half’s last drive and picked up two first downs with his legs on a 13-play,

72-yard drive. Sims found Smith in stride cutting from the left sideline toward the middle of the field on a second-and-10 throw from the Wake Forest 13-yard line, and Smith outraced the Demon Deacon defense to the right pylon to tie the score at 7-7.

With just 20 seconds remaining in the second quarter, the Virginia kickoff unit squandered the momentum before halftime.

Frye sent a squib kick short and redshirt senior cornerback Chibuikem Okoro caught the ball on a high hop with his momentum going forward. Okoro went out of bounds at the Demon Deacon 40-yard line, but Cavalier senior tight end Kyle McCartin was whistled for a late hit out of bounds personal foul. That penalty pushed the ball into Virginia territory.

Wake Forest junior quarterback Tanner Price lobbed a deep jump ball near the Virginia goal line and redshirt sophomore wide receiver Brandon Terry came down with the completion at the Cavalier 4-yard line. The Demon

Deacons elected to kick a field goal on first down with just six seconds remaining to take a 10-7 edge at halftime.

The Demon Deacons added another field goal on their opening drive of the second half to make the score 13-7. Midway through the third quarter, a Virginia team with the second worst turnover differential in the nation committed its first giveaway on a fumble by sophomore running back Kevin Parks, giving possession back to Wake Forest at the Cavalier 37-yard line.

Wake Forest was unable to move the chains and Kinal came onto the field to punt it away on fourth-and-11. But on the return, Cavalier sophomore linebacker Henry Coley was whistled for an illegal block in the back penalty that was assessed from the previous spot. The foul enabled the Wake Forest offense to remain on the field for a fourth-and-one try, and Price snuck past the firstdown marker on a quarterback keeper to continue the drive.

Wake Forest went on to add

another field goal to extend the lead to 16-7.

On the ensuing kickoff, Shepherd brought the ball out from one yard deep in his own end zone. Shepherd lost his footing as he crossed the 10-yard line and fell flat on his face before the Demon Deacon kick coverage team could reach him.

“It seems like we can’t catch a break, but we just have to push it each and every week,” Smith said. “It wasn’t one thing specifically that caused us to lose the game, it was a lot of stuff.”

Sims completed 22-of-39 passes for 253 yards with a touchdown and an interception, remaining poised after his deep ball to sophomore wide receiver Darius Jennings on Virginia’s first drive of the fourth quarter was intercepted. Rocco did not play, marking the first time this season the Cavaliers have used just one quarterback in a game.

Virginia will have its bye week this Saturday and then travel to Raleigh, N.C. to face N.C. State (5-2, 2-1 ACC) Nov. 3.

Metzinger | Cavs’ defense shows character through adversity Continued from page B1 work unit of wily veterans and budding young talents. As the Virginia season crumbles around them, the Cavaliers on the defensive side of the ball suddenly find themselves faced with one of the most arduous challenges in sports: continuing to excel with little hope of reward or recognition to sustain them.

“We’re playing well and we have to continue to build off it, keep practicing well, and keep giving ourselves a chance to win,” senior linebacker Steve Greer said. “It’s frustrating.”

The numbers reinforce the notion that the defense has morphed into Virginia’s strongest unit. A week after holding Maryland to -2 rushing yards, Virginia limited Wake Forest to just 213 yards of total offense Saturday and allowed just one third-down conversion on 15 attempts, despite facing a slew of trick plays and gimmick for-

mations from whimsical Demon Deacons coach Jim Grobe. A unit that looked more overwhelmed than the “Boom Goes the Dynamite” guy when yielding 594 yards to Georgia Tech Sept. 15, is now swarming to the ball and blasting through tackling lanes with aplomb, harassing quarterback Tanner Price into a 7-of-19 stink bomb.

“Today I think we were meshing well,” Greer said. “Eleven guys were playing well. A lot of different people were stepping up and making plays, which is good.”

That the defense’s purported fatal flaw — inexperience — is helping fuel the renaissance along with mainstays such as Greer bodes extremely well for the future. The much maligned, sophomore-riddled secondary has minimized many of the blown coverages and missed arm tackles that plagued the team through its first six games, allowing talented young fresh-

man defensive lineman Eli Harold and sophomore defensive tackle Chris Brathwaite to wreak havoc in the offensive backfield.

“I just feel like the coach is going to put in whoever is playing well at the time,” Brathwaite said after notching nine tackles, two tackles for loss and several flashes of Ndamukong Suh-like explosiveness. “I’m happy they have faith in me to go out there and get the job done.”

For all the vast strides of the past month, however, Reid’s defense is about as close to becoming a juggernaut as Teresa Sullivan is to hosting a “Board of Visitors Appreciation Week.”

Inexplicably, the squad remains stubbornly allergic to the ball: The defense has forced just four turnovers all season and never threatened to steal the ball away Saturday, requiring the offense to cope with a dismal average starting field position of its own 24-yard line.

As the Hoskey missed tackle perfectly encapsulated, the Cavaliers’ younger stars still lack composure and fundamental soundness in key instances in which savvy might serve more effectively than blind tenacity.

Occasional lapses in concentration, such as Josh Harris’ untouched 16-yard touchdown scamper for Wake, have crippled the Cavaliers far more severely than any lack of effort or schematic deficiency.

“It’s a team game,” Reid said.

“Everyone depends on each other. We didn’t get any turnovers, and we just gave up about three plays that if we can get back, we win the game.”

Because the defenders are playing well, but not well enough to prevent Virginia from losing, their remarkable development won’t garner the recognition it truly deserves. That a defense chock-full of frustrated upperclassmen and ambitious youngsters has not only continued to

play hard during a miserable season but actually improved speaks to a level of commitment that should hearten any fan of the game, much less a Cavalier fan.

It takes character to press on through adversity. The ability to persist when such adversity arises for reasons that are uncontrollable and unfair — with little promise of the recognition of others — represents one of the quintessential tests of character in sports and in life in general.

“It’s frustrating, but we’re going to get over it,” Brathwaite said.

“As a man, obstacles come into your life that you have to get over, so as men, we have to keep our composure, keep it going.”

So maybe that’s why instead of groaning when Hoskey missed that tackle, more of us should have been watching when he hustled back to make the next one. Even in a lost season, some things are worth discovering.

M Soccer | Bates’ acrobatic goal gives squad 74th minute equalizer Continued from page B1 “We just told ourselves that once we get one, the goals will just start coming,” Carroll said.

“Once we put one in, the crowd will be behind us, so we just need to continue to fight.”

Virginia was finally able to get on the board in the 71st minute when freshman Marcus SalandyDefour made an impressive run down the pitch. The midfielder evaded several Hokie defenders to make his way into the box and force Renfro to come out of goal to contest. Salandy-Defour hesitated and then popped a semi-lofted ball that skimmed

precariously over the keeper’s head to cut the Hokie lead in half and galvanize both the crowd and the team.

“That was an individual effort,” Gelnovatch said. “He ran through a bunch of people, got himself in the box, and finished it well. To me, that was what won us the game because that got the crowd into it and got us going.”

Four minutes later, SalandyDefour showcased his speed again with another blistering run down the left wing, this time resulting in a corner kick.

Freshman midfielder Scott Thomsen sent the ensuing corner short, and Bates was able to time

the ball on the bounce and contort his body to the side to reach it with his left foot. With his torso twisted and his foot stretched high in the air, Bates one-timed the ball past Renfro and into the upper left corner of the goal for his ACC-leading 10th goal of the season, tying the game and effectively sending it into overtime.

“The second goal was very difficult for Will Bates,” Gelnovach said. “It was on a short hop at the near post where he really had to time it perfectly.”

In the extra time, the Cavaliers continued to control the momentum and keep the 3,555 fans at Klöckner Stadium consistently

C M Y K

on their feet in anticipation of the game-winning goal.

In the 95th minute , freshman forward Darius Madison got his head on a cross from a set play directly in front of goal, but Renfro made the save, his fourth of the game.

With one minute left in the first period of overtime, Madison again had the crowd ready to celebrate as he fired a long strike from outside the box that appeared to be goal-bound, but the shot instead ricocheted off the right goal post.

The Cavaliers continued their relentless attack and forced a corner with 30 seconds remain-

Cyan Magenta Yellow Black

ing in the extra period, which Thomsen served into the box.

Carroll bullied his way past multiple defenders and jumped to reach the ball with his head. The header beat Renfro and landed in the goal to win the game as the Cavaliers and their fans erupted into a frenzied celebration.

“Scott put in a good ball and I was able to get in front of the guy and just flip it on and it went in,” Carroll said. “After that goal went in, that roar from the crowd, it was awesome.”

The Cavaliers finish their regular season with two ACC road games, at Boston College Friday and at NC State Nov. 1.

DJANGEO BY STEPHEN ROWE

OROSCOPES

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can’t change the past or the inevitable, but you can harmonize with both. Be willing to change your tone until it resonates in a pleasing way with the immovable aspects of life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The sudden burst of confidence that comes with the sun entering your sign may inspire an impulsive move. With any luck, this move has to do with your personal life and not your job.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It may feel to you that the voice inside is wearing you down instead of cheering you on. The good news is that you can effectively reset the mood with a you-to-you talk.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Romantic hopefuls will try to get your attention, perhaps in a manner that seems antagonistic. With your sense of humor and quick response, this will all turn out for the best.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). For you, taking a break from learning is like taking a break from eating: It’s not the kind of break that can be sustained over time. So allow yourself the time you need to develop your mind.

GREEK LIFE BY MATT HENSELL

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sometimes you hear the doorbell and want to rush to see who is there. Right now the ding-dong sound makes you want to hide. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be alone, and you’ve earned the right not to be bothered.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It may take several tries to get something right, but if you keep attempting this, you’ll eventually have success. Do-overs won’t automatically be handed to you, though. You’ll only get as many chances as you ask for.

THE ADVENTURES OF THE AMAZING <THE> A-MAN BY EMILIO ESTEBAN

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are blowing something out of proportion. Your recent mistake is not nearly as massive as you’ve built it up to be. If you still have doubts, ask for an assessment from a levelheaded friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). With the scales as your symbol, you can’t help but keep score.

Unlike most people, though, you know that the nuances count for much, much more than the credit they are usually given.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Where there is confusion, you step in to clear it up. This is a chance for you to shine. Your leadership will completely change the dynamics of a potentially chaotic scene.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s only fair that the one who is most responsible for an outcome is also the one who is most rewarded. Unfortunately, such a state won’t naturally occur. You’ll have to make it happen.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your environment can be rearranged to give you better physical and mental flow. Brainstorm possible solutions. This is worth spending time on now because you’ll be too busy later.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 22). Bad art lacks an artistic point of view. This year you recognize your role as the artist of your life and are determined to make great art. Therefore, your job is to see things differently and express what you see as only you can do. Breakthroughs come in November and June. Finances improve in December and May. Leo and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 2, 14, 38 and 45.
