The Honor Committee Sunday evening continued to discuss its Back-to-Basics proposal, which would substantially overhaul the body’s current policies.

Community members and Honor representatives Sunday evening voiced support for the Back-to-Basics proposal announced at last week’s meeting. Fourth-year College student Owen Gallogly, pre-trial coordinator and co-chair of the Policies and Procedures committee, and fourth-year Engineering student Clifton Bumgardner , vice chair for trials, drafted the proposal, which would include

the simultaneous implementation of informed retraction and jury reform. Honor Committee Chair Stephen Nash said the response so far from faculty, students and Committee members has been positive and the proposal has been a decade in the making, with similar proposals coming to the fore in previous Committee discussions.

Archaeologists unearth graves Workers discover 30 unrecorded tomb shafts near University cemetery; identities remain unknown By Olivia Patton

Cavalier Daily Senior Writer Archaeologists working to expand the University cemetery last week unearthed 30 previously unrecorded grave shafts at the site of the cemetery, the University announced Friday. The identities of those buried in the graves have yet to be determined, but archival evidence suggests the graves once held enslaved African-Amer-

icans who helped build the University. The cemetery expansion project, which the University initiated in 2008, began with archeological surveys of the historically sensitive area, said Jody Lahendro, Preservation Architect and Project Manager for the Cemetery Expansion Project.

U.Va. dominates Cavs capture ACC title N.C. State, 33-6 SPORTS

IN BRIEF

Buoyed by a suffocating defensive performance and strong play from both sophomore quarterback Phillip Sims and junior quarterback Michael Rocco, Virginia walloped North Carolina State 33-6 in one of the more stunning results of the college football season. The Cavaliers (3-6, 1-4 ACC) , who entered the game as 14-point underdogs, forced the Wolfpack (5-4, 2-3 ACC) into five turnovers — more takeaways than coach Mike London’s squad had mustered in the first eight games of the season combined. Sims and Rocco split time under center for the Cavalier offense on a series-by-series basis and combined to finish 20-of-33 for 198 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. Virginia also racked up a season-high 248 yards rushing, including 115 on 25 carries from sophomore running back Kevin Parks. Sims capped Virginia’s opening drive with a one-yard touchdown run and Rocco added an 18-yard

toss to wide-open sophomore wide receiver Darius Jennings with less than a minute remaining in the first quarter to stake Virginia to a 14-0 lead. The Cavaliers defense added a safety in the second quarter on a sack by senior defensive tackle Will Hill and held the Wolfpack scoreless for the half. The onslaught continued in the third quarter as Sims completed a 38-yard touchdown to junior wide receiver Tim Smith to push the lead to 23-0. Parks punctuated the blowout victory with a 31-yard touchdown sprint with 4:28 remaining to give the Cavaliers their highest point total in an ACC game this season. The win snaps a six-game losing streak for Virginia and sustains the team’s slim hopes for bowl eligibility. Virginia must win three more games in a row to qualify, beginning with a game against Miami in Charlottesville Nov. 10.

Senior forward Caroline Miller scored in both tournament games to give her five straight games with a goal. The 2012 ACC Offensive Player of the Year leads the team with 16 goals, including 12 in ACC play.

The No. 8 Virginia women’s soccer team captured its second ACC Championship in team history Sunday with a sublime 4-0 victory against No. 7 Maryland. The Cavaliers (16-4-1, 6-3-1 ACC) advanced to the conference title game with a 4-2 upset of top-seeded Florida State in the semifinals Friday. Virginia needed just five minutes to pull ahead of the Seminoles on a goal by the red-hot senior forward Caroline Miller. Four minutes later, sophomore Morgan Brian added a second tally against Florida State redshirt junior goalkeeper Kelsey Wys. The Seminoles responded in the 12th minute when sophomore midfielder Dagny Brynjarsdottir beat Cavalier junior goalkeeper Danielle DeLisle to

pull within one. Florida State evened the score in the 63rd minute, but goals by Cavalier senior forward Erica Hollenberg and Brian propelled Virginia to its fourth ACC Championship appearance in team history. The Cavaliers’ near-flawless play continued Sunday in a blowout victory against the second-seeded Terrapins (13-6-2, 6-3-1 ACC), giving the team its first conference title since 2004. Virginia dominated offensively in the first half, outshooting Maryland 10-3 and adding the go-ahead tally in the 22nd minute on a strike from just outside the box by junior forward Gloria Douglas. After halftime, the Cavaliers ended the suspense surround-

ing their title pursuit with an offensive flurry. In the 53rd minute, Brian knocked in her own rebounded shot for her third goal of the tournament. Ten minutes later, Miller took a through ball from sophomore forward Danielle Colaprico and scored for the fifth straight game. Freshman forward Makenzy Doniak added a punctuation goal in the 86th minute for her ninth score of the season. Virginia will now wait for Monday night’s NCAA Tournament selection announcement to find out its postseason seed. First round action begins Friday. —compiled by Michael Eilbacher
