Sophomore tight end Jake McGee celebrates his game-winning leap and grab Saturday against Miami. McGee also caught the goahead score in Virginia’s 17-16 victory against Penn State.

McGee’s touchdown catch with six seconds remaining preserves team’s bowl hopes

Junior quarterback Michael Rocco turned to sophomore tight end Jake McGee in Virginia’s final huddle of a back-and-forth affair against Miami Saturday and gave his best friend on the team a simple message.

“Jake, this one is coming to you,” he said. “Go catch it.”

The Cavaliers’ (4-6, 2-4 ACC) bowl hopes hung in the balance while Rocco’s pass to McGee sailed toward the back of the end zone. McGee leaped toward the ball, contorted his body backward and tapped one foot inside the goal line before a pair of defenders pushed him out of the back of the end zone.

McGee’s spectacular catch helped Virginia erase a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit against the Hurricanes (5-5, 4-3 ACC) en route to a 41-40 victory. The win not only prevented Coastal Division-leading Miami from clinching a bowl berth in Charlottesville, but also brought the Cavaliers within two wins of securing a bowl bid that once seemed out of reach.

“I knew that these players don’t quit,” coach Mike London said. “I knew that you can go back and look

and you’re a play or two away. Sometimes you can’t measure desire and you can’t measure heart.”

Virginia’s last victory at Scott Stadium had come Sept. 8 against Penn State when Rocco connected with McGee for two miraculous completions that led Virginia to a comefrom-behind win. The pair repeated the feat Saturday with a seasonsaving play.

Rocco directed a 16-play, 87-yard go-ahead drive during the final 2:38, twice converting fourth-and-seven opportunities to extend the drive.

Rocco’s second fourth-down pass of the drive missed sophomore wide receiver Dominique Terrell and appeared to end the game and the Cavaliers’ postseason hopes. But Miami sophomore defensive back Thomas Finnie was whistled for holding on Terrell, giving Virginia an automatic first down.

Moments later, Rocco hit junior wide receiver Tim Smith for eight yards to bring the ball to the Hurricane 12-yard line. With the clock ticking down on Virginia’s season, Rocco snuck across the first-down Please see Football, Page A3

Sullivan’s term extended Dragas attributes financial, online education improvements to current leadership

By Matthew Comey Cavalier Daily Senior Writer

The Board of Visitors late Friday afternoon unanimously approved a motion to extend the length of President Teresa Sullivan’s contract from five to six years.

Sullivan will now serve until the end of July 2016.

After previously discussed resolutions were all voted through in the final session, Rector Helen Dragas said the University had made significant strides since the summer conflict, attributing a lot of the recent success to Sullivan and her team.

Financial outlooks, online education and the state of the

Medical Center have progressed since the summer, Dragas said.

“We wish to show our heartfelt appreciation to President Sullivan,” Dragas said. “Because of her team’s intensified leadership in important initiatives we wish to reinforce the commitment we made on June 26 to her future work in the University.”

Following the meeting, Sullivan symbolically signed her contract in front of the press.

“I want to thank Helen, George and all the board members for your support,” Sullivan said.

“I do believe that we are all together a stronger team and that this will be a distinguishing moment for the University.”

Earlier in the day the University of Virginia’s College at Wise

committee met, and Sullivan reported on the progress made in the search for a new chancellor. Former Wise chancellor David Prior passed away last February from an apparent heart attack.

“I have travelled to each of the [three] finalist’s homes and have had a meal with each of them,” Sullivan said. “I think we will be soon naming a chancellor of the college.”

Later in the day a joint meeting was held for the Educational Policy Committee and the Student Affairs and Athletics Committee, during which the implications of the expansion Please see Sullivan, Page A3

U.Va. tuition ‘underpriced’ Gov. anticipates Financial aid, not small cost hikes, affect students’ decisions to attend University

By Matthew Comey Cavalier Daily Senior Writer

AccessUVa, the University’s need-based financial aid program, is generous compared to peer universities, an ongoing study has found. The Board of Visitors will discuss whether or not changes need to be made to the program in its February meeting.

The study modeled the impact of tuition increases on AccessUVa

and found that, especially for out-of-state students, incremental increases in tuition would not have any significant effect on students’ decision to attend the University, according to a University press release.

“One of the conclusions reached was that we are underpriced,” said Colette Sheehy, vice president for management and budget.

“Our students in particular seem to be much more sensitive to aid rather than the actual price.”

AccessUVa, which started in 2004, meets full demonstrated need for all students and does not include work-study or student contributions when calculating expected family contribution.

“Relative to its peers, U.Va. has a much higher percentage of aid recipients who are middle income, and over the past two years U.Va. has experienced the Please see AccessUVa, Page A3

fiscal difficulties

Gov. Bob McDonnell’s administration annually asks state agencies to prepare plans for cutting their budgets if it were to become necessary in the coming fiscal year. But this year’s request, announced Thursday, was made all the more relevant by a persistently slow economy and what McDonnell’s office called “unprecedented uncertainty” in Washington D.C. The governor’s chief of staff Martin Kent issued a memorandum, ordering state agencies to prepare strategies to manage four-percent cuts of their legislatively appropriated funds.

Institutions of higher education were among agencies asked to prepare for the cuts, but Kent said their budgeting would be addressed in future communication.

Kent said a fiscal cliff in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 and the sequestration provision of a budget control act passed last year could lead to a second recession and could likely negatively impact the commonwealth.

“National economists have down-played any expectations of a near-term, vigorous

recovery and confirmed the direct connection between the existing economic uncertainty and the potential for future revenue stagnation or losses,” Kent said in the statement.

Federally mandated Medicaid expansion will also require increased spending because the state is responsible for administering the program, which Kent said would strain Virginia’s budget in the upcoming year.

The health care program for low income individuals is one of the top drivers in the state budget and comprises about 20 percent of the general fund.

The McDonnell administration urged agencies to prioritize long-term cost-cutting strategies rather than one-time savings, such as the dismissal of personnel or hiring freezes.

“While we welcome any and all valid savings strategies, it is important that the majority of your reduction strategies emphasize recurring savings rather than one-time savings,” Kent said.

Agencies are expected to have plans formulated by Nov. 21.

Student’s self-defense training thwarts abduction Charlottesville Police charged Runk dining hall employee Matthew Beaulieu with abduction with the intent to defile, a class 2 felony, after he attempted to abduct a female University student Thursday evening.

The student was walking in the 2200 block of Stadium Road at about midnight Thursday evening when she noticed a vehicle following her, according to a

Police report released last week.

A University Dining Hall employee who wished to remain unnamed confirmed Beaulieu had been working at Runk until about 11 p.m. that night.

The vehicle stopped and the lone occupant got out, ran toward the victim, grabbed her and attempted to pull her into the vehicle, before she escaped, according to the Police release.

The student said she fought the attacker using training she had received from a Sexual Assault Resource Agency presentation at her sorority house, according to the press release.

The attacker gave up and ultimately returned to his vehicle.

The victim immediately called 911 and described the attack.

“All the University organizations centered around sexual

assault advocacy (the White Ribbon campaign, SAPA, SARA) emphasize self defense,” said third-College student Caroline Bartholomew, an outreach chair for the University’s Sexual Assault Peer Advocacy group.

“Especially with this issue, you see that [knowledge of selfdefense] can make a huge difference.”

Beaulieu was arrested later

that evening on Interstate 64.

He is currently being held without bond in the Charlottesville/Albemarle Regional Complex.

University Dining Services did not return a request for comment by press time. Unlike in similar incidents, the University did not notify the student body of the attack or arrest via email.

Football | Rocco thrives in first start since Sept. 28 Continued from page A1 marker to move the chains.

Two plays later, Rocco found McGee for the game-winning touchdown.

“Everyone knew that this was it,” McGee said. “It was our last drive, so [Rocco] kept us focused and told us that we got this.”

Rocco made his first start since ceding his starting job to sophomore Phillip Sims following Virginia’s 44-38 loss to Louisiana Tech Sept. 29. Rocco and the Cavalier offense shredded the ACC’s last-ranked unit in total defense early, scoring touchdowns in four-of-five drives to open the game. Virginia’s 41 points was the most the team has scored in a conference game since 2007.

Rocco hit sophomore wide receivers Miles Gooch and Darius Jennings for first-quar-

ter touchdowns. Sims , the other half of the Cavaliers’ quarterback rotation, capped his first drive with a 6-yard touchdown run to give Virginia 21 points in the first quarter, the team’s most points in any quarter since 2008.

The Hurricanes answered each Virginia touchdown with a score of their own , tallying three touchdowns on their first two drives. Electric freshman running back Duke Johnson returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown and threw for a touchdown pass in the first quarter to keep pace with the Cavaliers. Johnson totaled 368 all-purpose yards , the fourth highest total in ACC history.

Virginia took a 28-24 lead before the half on a three-yard touchdown run by sophomore running back Kevin Parks .

Miami answered in the sec-

ond-half with 14 unanswered points , taking a 10 -point lead on a 35-yard pass from junior quarterback Stephen Morris to sophomore wide receiver Phillip Dorsett with 11:38 remaining in the game.

Down the stretch, the Cavaliers’ quarterback rotation became a one man show. Offensive coordinator Bill Lazor left Rocco in the game for the team’s final three drives. Rocco was in the midst of setting a school record with 18 straight completions and finished the game with 300 yards and four touchdowns on 29-of-37 passing.

“It is a random rotation,” Lazor said. “We reserve the right in certain situations that maybe a certain guy is more suited to how the game is going or how they are playing.”

Rocco cut the deficit to 38-35

with 5:33 remaining when he connected with Jennings for the pair’s second touchdown of the game. The struggling Virginia defense forced the Hurricanes into a three-and-out on a drive that lasted just more than one minute, giving Rocco a chance to give Virginia the lead.

The Miami defense made its biggest play of the afternoon on the Cavaliers’ second play of the ensuing drive. With Virginia needing to throw downfield, Miami came with a blitz and brought down Rocco at the goal line. Rocco was called for intentional grounding in the end zone, resulting in a safety and sending possession back to the Hurricanes with a 40-35 lead.

Once again, the Virginia defense made a key stop when called upon. Senior linebackers Steve Greer and LaRoy Reyn-

olds combined to bring down Johnson on a third-down rush, setting the stage for McGee’s game-winning touchdown.

“We have been talking about that all season, making an identity for our defense,” Greer said. “There were times when we gave up a little more than we wanted to, and we had a couple missed tackles that cost us, but I think we stepped up when we needed to.”

Virginia will host North Carolina (6-4, 3-3 ACC) Thursday evening with a chance to move one step closer to becoming bowl eligible.

“Winning these last two games has really put us in position,” Sims said. “This is a tournament now, you win and you’re in, you lose and you go home. This is the situation we put ourselves in, but we have to make the best of it and come out on top.”

Sullivan | ACC expansion could negatively affect U.Va. athletes Continued from page A1 of the ACC to include three new schools were discussed.

The conference realignment was driven by projected growth in revenues, but the decision

will also have some negative implications, Athletic Director Craig Littlepage said.

“There will be more travel time and more midweek games, which can equate to missed class time [for University ath-

letes],” Littlepage said.

Several Board members expressed discontent with the fact that they had no say in the inclusion of new ACC members Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame when the move

will surely have notable effects on the operations of the University.

In the Board’s final session, 14 resolutions were unanimously passed, including the approval of an audit charter, the official

amending of the Board manual to change language that would require a full Board meeting to approve the president’s dismissal, authorization to issue tax-free debt and the naming of a new squash facility.

Cherry-picked George Washington University and its administrators should be punished for perpetrating academic fraud that inflated its position in college rankings Although George Washington allegedly could not tell a lie, the university named in his honor now stands accused of conducting one of the largest scandals of academic dishonesty in the era of modern colleges.

George Washington University — the private institution in Washington, D.C. — admitted Thursday that it had altered the statistics of class rank for years of incoming students. Though the act of its admitting its misdeeds does earn George Washington points for integrity, it nevertheless fabricated its numbers for the sake of collegiate rankings. As more schools continue to indulge in such practice — George Washington being the third major university to do so this year — ranking bodies should seriously consider banning from their lists the schools that commit such offenses.

And George Washington should hold responsible those officials who were guilty of fabrication.

The misreporting at George Washington has occurred for more than a decade, the university announced. Specifically, it centered around the notion of class rankings — both on the university’s website, and when solicited by ranking bodies such as U.S. News and World Report – which George Washington did not correctly display. For instance, this year, George Washington said 78 percent of its incoming students were ranked in their high schools’ top 10 percent. In reality, only 58 percent of its incoming students had achieved such a ranking.

In itself, this statistic may seem unimportant. Its relevance becomes apparent, however, when viewed in its context. Due to poor statistical methods and disingenuous oversight, George Washington has made similar numerical flaws for a number of years. For

more than a decade, the university would accurately provide the class ranking data for its students whose high schools had ranked all their students.

For schools that did not have a class ranking, though, the university would estimate the numbers itself. To take last year as an example — when only 38 percent of George Washington’s incoming class had official class rankings — the school had estimated a substantial portion of its students’ class rank.

This matters for the U.S. News and World Report, which uses the high school rankings of college students to gauge schools for its annual list. Although the class ranking component accounts for approximately 6 percent of a school’s overall rank, the publishing body explicitly prohibits colleges from estimating ranks in cases when they are not provided. Thus, George Washington was flying in the face of typical standards to better its own reputation. Six percent may not be much, but tallied up over ten years it has contributed to George Washington’s annual ranking hovering near the top 50. Prestige, in turn, affects variables such as cost — with George Washington being consistently named the most expensive school in the U.S. by its sticker price according to Forbes.

After performing an internal audit of its numbers last summer, George Washington was courageous enough to admit its mistake last week. It has not spoken of any disciplinary measures, however. To follow the precedent of those other institutions — Emory University and Claremont McKenna College in this year, alone — that committed academic fraud, George Washington should continue its investigation and remove those persons responsible.

the legalization of marijuana in Washington and Colorado, I look to President Obama for answers on the possible consequences of legalizing marijuana.

by CBSnews, in response to this question the president said, “The answer is, no, I don’t think that is a good strategy to grow our economy.” Other interviews have produced a similar outcome, where the president has spoken out against marijuana. So I am curious as to why states are beginning to legalize the drug. It seems to me that if recreational marijuana is not going to help the economy, then what good is legalizing it? Although President Obama has not yet taken action in response to the passage of this legislation, I hope the president will be as anti-marijuana in his second term as he was in his first, and that further examination of the legislation will lead to a realization that this country is not ready for the legalization of marijuana.

It’s hard to believe the police will protect you if they don’t appear to believe that you have been harmed in the first place. Thus, some scholarship calls survivors’ experiences of reporting rape to police a “second assault.”

University policy goes beyond passively discouraging civil reporting of sex assault. Student Legal Services denies assistance to students who are involved in disputes with other students.

This denies survivors, particularly low-income survivors who are assaulted by other the University students, access to legal counsel.

I n s u m , t h e U n i v e r s i t y ’s response to rape fails survivors by denying them legal assistance and vital information about their own response options.

These failures are a matter of policy. Current policies serve institutional rather than student interests.

Survivors deserve an institutional response to rape and other forms of sexual misconduct that honors their abilities to make informed decisions. The University has an unfulfilled ethical obligation to enable students to see and choose among the possible outcomes of all reporting avenues — regardless of their familial or financial resources.

I believe the chairman of the board addressed the protestors during the meeting, expressing appreciation for their love of the university that brought them to the meeting.

That is what they get paid for, after all. But they are not the people who make policy and they are not the people who created this controversy. The media — particularly The Cavalier Daily — should not let last Thursday’s events be a one-day story.

Petraeus admits affair Soldiers struggle to reconcile former boss’ professional discipline, personal errors

By Greg Jaffe

The Washington Post No general in the U.S. military had a more loyal retinue of staff officers than retired Gen. David Petraeus.

Many of these soldiers had followed him through multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decade. The collapse of his storied career after his admission of an affair has left them all asking the same questions: How could the illicit relationship have happened? And how does it square with the officer they knew and admired?

In some cases, the first ques-

tion is asked literally. In Afghanistan, it would have been nearly impossible to conduct an affair out of their view. Petraeus had a small office in the cramped NATO headquarters and slept in a tiny trailer set amid the living quarters of his staff officers.

Indeed, the former general has told those close to him that although he was close to his biographer, Paula Broadwell, in Afghanistan, he did not begin the affair with her until after he left the military last year.

But for many of Petraeus’s former staff officers, the bigger question is how a general who preached the importance of selfdiscipline and integrity, who

almost never seemed to lose control of his emotions during a decade of almost nonstop stress and combat, stumbled so badly in his personal and professional life.

“I am really shocked by it because it is so different from the Petraeus I knew over the course of three tours of Iraq,” said one Army officer who was part of Petraeus’s inner circle and who spoke on the condition of anonymity so he could discuss the matter candidly.

“We’ve all been e-mailing back and forth. This is the last thing in the world we would imagine.

He did a lot of good for the country and a lot of good for us.”

Israeli forces in the Golan Heights fired into Syria on Sunday after a stray mortar round from fighting between Syrian troops and rebels hit an army post, the Israeli military said, calling the response a “warning.”

The incident was said to be the first time Israel had fired across the Golan frontier into Syria since the 1973 Middle East war, and it underlined concerns that Syria’s civil war could draw in neighboring countries and trigger wider conflict in the region.

Israel captured the Golan, a strategic plateau overlooking northern Israel, in the 1967 SixDay War and annexed the area in 1981. The cease-fire line there has been quiet for decades, but Israeli officials have voiced concerns that the upheaval in Syria could spill over the frontier.

An Israeli army statement said that after the mortar round landed Sunday, causing no casualties or damage, troops fired “warning shots towards Syrian areas.” The statement gave no details on the munitions used, but military officials later said a long-range anti-tank missile had been fired in the vicinity of a Syrian mortar battery thought to have fired the shell.

Army Radio quoted the chief military spokesman, Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, as saying that the Israeli fire was meant to send

“a clear message to the Syrian army that Israel will not accept continued fire in its direction . . . even if it is not deliberate.”

The army said it had a filed a complaint through United Nations forces stationed between Israeli and Syrian forces in the Golan conveying a warning that continued fire from Syrian territory “will not be tolerated and shall be responded to with severity.”

There have been several incidents this month in which stray munitions from the fighting in Syria have reached the Israeliheld Golan Heights, causing no casualties or damage. Last week, a mortar shell landed outside an Israeli settlement without exploding. Several days earlier, Israel complained to the U.N. that three Syrian tanks had entered a demilitarized zone, and last Monday the army said a stray bullet hit an Israeli army jeep.

Shlomo Brom, a retired general and senior research fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University, said Sunday’s incident was unlikely to cause further escalation, if only because the embattled Syrian regime was not anxious to open another front with Israel. Still, Brom said, he was concerned that with an Israeli election approaching in January, electoral considerations might be driving Israeli leaders who want “to be perceived by their constituency as tough.”

Next Chinese first lady shirks limelight Social, political norms require Peng Liyuan to diminish public role as professional singer to further husband’s prospective leadership

By William Wan The Washington Post

Next week, when her husband is expected to be introduced as China’s new leader, Peng Liyuan will likely be out of sight.

Her image won’t be splashed across any front pages; her name will likely go unmentioned on state-run TV’s breathless coverage of China’s once-a-decade leadership transition.

Such is the fate of first ladies in China.

No Michelle Obama-style advocacy. Nor Jackie Kennedy-like glamor. Simply the expectation that one will fade into the black cloak of secrecy that surrounds all of China’s leaders.

And yet if anyone could break free of that muted tradition, it would be Peng, one of China’s most recognizable folk singers.

For most of her marriage to China’s current vice president, Xi Jinping, her fame has eclipsed

his. A civilian member of the Chinese army’s musicale troupe, she was admired by hundreds of millions for her annual performances on state television’s New Year’s Eve shows. And according to people who have met her, she exudes an easy grace, a confident grasp of conversational English and a seemingly sincere heart for charitable causes.

“If this were the West, one would say she has the perfect requirements for being a leader’s wife: beauty, stage presence, public approval,” said one party intellectual, who requested anonymity to avoid jeopardizing his work teaching future government officials at party schools. “But things are different in China.”

Here, the names of top leaders’ wives are blocked on search engines and censored from microblogs. Even the most innocuous articles about them are often scrubbed from existence.

It all stems from a traditional

Chinese fear of women in politics, said Hung Huang, a fashion editor whose mother served as English tutor to Mao Zedong, the country’s first Communist leader. “ I n C h i n a u n f o r t u n a t e l y, women and power mix like oil and water,” she said. “You see it in some of our traditional proverbs warning against the dangers of beautiful women and powerful men.”

No one embodied those fears more than Mao’s wife, Jiang Qing, whose grab for power, purge from the party and death by suicide remains a cautionary tale taught in middle schools across China.

The latest example emerged this year with Gu Kailai — wife of purged Communist leader Bo Xilai — who was depicted at her murder trial as an emotional, paranoid and scheming woman who poisoned a British businessman.

Against that stereotype, vibrant positive female role models in China’s political world are sorely lacking.

Few people even know the name of Chinese President Hu Jintao’s wife, Liu Yongqing, and even fewer could point her out in a crowd.

Hu’s predecessor Jiang Zemin occasionally took his wife Wang Yeping on trips abroad, but little is known about her beyond a smattering of details gathered by media overseas, beyond the reach of censors.

Following suit, Peng began lowering her own profile as a singer in 2007, after her husband emerged as the likely appointee to the presidency. Once famous for wistfully crooning popular patriotic songs of the 1980s and 1990s, she quit the annual New Year’s show altogether the next year and stopped performing except for a handful of charity and Communist Party-related

Final results show incumbent wins 50 percent to 49.1, snags all battleground states except North Carolina

By Aaron Blake The Washington Post

The last state in the 2012 presidential race has been called, with Florida going narrowly to President Obama.

With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Obama leads Romney by nearly a full point, 50.0 percent to 49.1 percent. Had the margin been within half a percentage point, it would have triggered a computer recount.

The win means Obama swept all of the most competitive states except North Carolina, and he walks away with a huge win in the electoral college — 332 to 206 — despite carrying the popular

vote by just 2.6 percent.

Florida is the biggest prize among the swing states, with 29 electoral votes. Had Romney carried it, Obama would have won the electoral vote by a significantly smaller margin: 303 to 235.

Obama’s electoral vote total is actually relatively close to what he took in his first race in 2008, when he also carried North Carolina and Indiana and got one electoral vote from the Nebraska congressional district in Omaha.

That year, he got 365 electoral votes.

Florida has now gone Democratic in two straight elections for the first time since 1944 and 1948.

She now rarely appears in public with Xi and never talks about him in public.

At the same time, she has taken new roles that allow her some public exposure, albeit within fairly controlled environments.

She became a volunteer for the government’s work on AIDS in 2006 and its ambassador for tobacco control in 2009. Last year, she was appointed ambassador for the fight against tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS for the World Health Organization.

“She doesn’t keep her distance from people,” said Zhang Ying, president of a nongovernmental organization that helps AIDS orphans in Anhui province. Zhang has worked on the issue repeatedly with Peng, most recently in September, and described her as down-to-earth, chatting freely with other volunteers about her own daughter, asking questions about their families.

Season-ending playoff loss follows 3-2 first round win against Iowa

Coach Steve Swanson was the first to admit that his team did not play up to full potential in their opening game of the NCAA tournament Friday night. But for a Virginia women’s soccer team in the midst of an amazing run, sheer talent was enough to power past La Salle in a 4-1 win.

“I thought La Salle played very hard. To come out of here with a win against a very good team is good,” Swanson said.

“It wasn’t a game that you went, ‘Wow, it was 4-1.’ I think anyone here knew it was a competitive game.”

“It’s hard to look at the season on the most disappointing day, but everything we did up until this day is what got us here,” coach Michele Madison said.

SPORTS

FRITZ METZINGER When Virginia junior quarterback Michael Rocco committed an intentional grounding penalty in what the referees loosely deemed the “end zone” with 4:19 remaining in Saturday’s home tilt against Miami, you could almost hear 45,870 exasperated fans thinking to themselves, “Not again!” After the Cavaliers pilfered a win from Penn State Sept.

8, their three ensuing home losses roughly followed the same script: flashes of sublimity from coach Mike London’s squad intertwined with moments of comical ineptitude, capped by some inane, fatal, self-inflicted error.

The appeal and potency of sport, however, arise from its ability to illuminate and inspire us even when we think we know the script inside-and-out. And sure enough, Rocco and company pulled a fast one on us. The much-maligned signal-caller bookended his finest day as a college quarterback with a stunning 10-yard lob to wunderkind sophomore tight end Jake McGee, who miraculously stuck a foot in the back of the end zone with six seconds remaining to clinch a memorable 41-40 Virginia victory. Considering the win preserves the Cavaliers’ chances of bowl qualification and unshackles them from the morbid formula that had defined their preceding home games, forgive London for his exuberant sentimentality post-game.

“I’d just like to say what a blessing that is to see something like that come to fruition at the end of the game, where there have been a couple of times we’ve come on the short end of that: muffed punt, or interception or something,” London said. “To see the players and coaches be really resilient, I’m just so elated, so happy for these guys.”

The obvious explanation for why this game turned out differently from the previous three home defeats is of Lou Holtz-ian simplicity: Virginia is simply playing better football than they were three weeks ago. On the heels of a 33-6 victory at N.C. State as shocking as it was impressive, the Cavaliers executed one of their best conceived gameplans of the year, finishing with 482 total yards of offense and just one turnover on an admittedly silly pass from senior running back Perry Jones.

“It was a big time win, two weeks in a row, guys stepped up and made plays when their names were called,” sophomore quarterback Phillip Sims said.

“We expected it from ourselves all season long and I think we are starting to come together.”

That explanation, though, inadequately accounts for how a team that reacted with the poise of “The Boom Goes the Dynamite” guy’s shy cousin in highly similar situations less than a month ago thrived under pressure Saturday.

What truly swung the balance in the Cavaliers’ favor Saturday was their decisiveness in the face of Please see Metzinger, Page B3

IN BRIEF

Men falter to Tar Heels Cavs stumble in The Virginia men’s soccer team lost 4-3 in a penalty shootout to No. 3 North Carolina Friday evening in the semifinals of the ACC Men’s Soccer Championship in Germantown, Md. The sixth-seeded Cavaliers (9-6-4, 3-4-1 ACC) played the Tar Heels (15-2-2, 6-1-1) to a heated scoreless draw through 110 minutes before the teams faced off in penalties.

Virginia senior tri-captain Will Bates led off the penalty kick by drilling his shot straight down the center of the net, fooling heralded North Carolina goalkeeper Scott Goodwin.

For North Carolina’s first attempt, Coach George Gelnovatch chose to go with redshirt junior Matt Miscione in goal in place of sophomore Spencer LaCivita, who had played all game and had appeared in more than 90 percent of the

team’s minutes this season.

After Rob Lovejoy missed the Tar Heels first penalty attempt and sophomore defender Grant Silvester missed Virginia’s second, North Carolina’s Martin Murphy slotted his effort home to tie the mark at 1-1.

After both teams then found the net on their third and fourth attempts, Cavalier redshirt junior defender Shane Cooke failed to score on the team’s fifth go around. Jordan Gafa then sent the Tar Heels to the final when he beat Miscione with his attempt.

The Cavaliers had earned their spot in the semifinals after scoring an upset victory against Wake Forest in the quarterfinal round, 5-3 on penalty kicks.

The contest marked the fifth consecutive overtime game for Virginia, a new record in program history. The scoreless draw in regulation also

increased Virginia’s unbeaten streak to six matches, its longest such streak of the season.

In a game defined by solid defense and stellar goalkeeping, LaCivita and Goodwin both proved unbeatable on the day.

While recording his fifth shutout of the season, LaCivita had four saves in the game, including one in which he spectacularly reached the ball, with his arms at full-extension, at the apex of his jump.

North Carolina had a 9-5 shot and 10-4 corner advantage in the contest.

Top seed Maryland eventually defeated North Carolina 2-1 in Sunday’s final.

The Cavaliers now must wait for the NCAA Tournament selection crew to decide their fate as the field of 48 will be announced on NCAA.com Monday at 5:30 p.m.

2012-2013 debut George Mason’s Byron Allen hit an improbable off-balance three-pointer to beat the shot clock to put his team ahead for good with 1:02 remaining, serving the Virginia men’s basketball team a 63-59 loss in the season opener.

The loss snaps a 14-game winning streak in season openers for the Cavaliers (0-1, 0-0 ACC), who competed without four players — including 2011-2012 key contributors senior point guard Jontel Evans and sophomore guard Malcolm Brogdon.

It also marks the Patriots’ (1-0, 0-0 CAA) first ever win against Virginia.

Despite a steady 19-point, eight-rebound effort from junior guard Joe Harris, Virginia sputtered offensively to a paltry 40.4 percent field goal shoot-

ing. George Mason, meanwhile, shot 54.5 percent and prevailed despite missing 10-of-17 free throws in the second half and 11-of-19 overall.

The Cavaliers started three freshmen for the first time in program history. Center Mike Tobey and guards Justin Anderson and Taylor Barnette combined for 14 points in their debut, and fellow freshman forward Evan Nolte chipped in 6 points from the bench.

Virginia returns to action Monday when it hosts the NIT Season Tip-Off and plays Fairfield in the first game. Delaware and Penn will also compete in the four-team tournament for the chance to play in the national NIT Tip-Off Tournament in Madison Square Garden next week.

In addition to their standard good showmanship, they demonstrated vocal talent and a new complexity of composition at their concert last month.

This Week in Arts History Janis Joplin fought the Law (and the Law won) This week in arts history, we take a look back at one of the rowdier incidents of the already tumultuous 1960s music scene. On Nov. 16, 1969, at the height of her career, Janis Joplin ran into trouble with the police at a concert in Tampa, Florida. After members of the audience became raucous and began moving around the venue, a policeman tried to restore order during the concert.

Joplin, in her characteristic free-spirited attitude, began arguing with the officer, shouting curse words at him.

The altercation escalated between Joplin and the police officer, leading to the concert’s end and Joplin’s arrest on charges of profanity. The event was highly characteristic of the heated conflict between artists and authority figures in the heyday of American counterculture.

[sun. 18, the Paramount] The smooth soulful sounds of the ‘60s and ‘70s will fill the historic Paramount Theater this Sunday evening.

Don’t worry, it’s not just your imagination running away with you: The Temptations will actually be taking on Charlottesville Sunday, Nov. 19. One of the most successful musical groups of all time, the five-voices male group are sure to put on quite a show. The popular Motown Records crew has seen enormous fame after popular singles such as “My Girl” and “Papa was a Rollin’ Stone.” Their sweet serenades with classic R&B vibes should not be missed.

of humor while providing a more intimate look into the members’ personalities in the cinematic triumph “AVP goes to Therapy.” The short video emphasized the group’s irrefutable goofiness, one of the primary traits they look for in new guys.

“A lot of [the process of choosing new members] boils down to getting a feel for how their personalities are,” Pulsipher said. “It’s a big decision to make when you’re deciding to bring someone in [who] could very well be a part of AVP for four years.”

The Academical Villagers pulled out all the stops between their crooning collaborations, laudable acting and phenomenal dance moves. By far, the highlight of the show came in the encore, when Screech sprang onto stage donning a red floor-length cape to perform the recent epic “Gangnam Style” with AVP President The Situation (third-year College student Charles Kang) . The crowd instantly jumped up and joined in the frolicking, epitomizing what AVP is all about: engaging the audience with its infectious energy.

We have plenty to expect from the Academical Village People in the spring, including their newest studio album, Sorry for the Noise, and their 20th Anniversary Concert at the Paramount Theater Saturday, April 6. You should come for the party — and stay for the performance.

Monday, November 12, 2012 | The Cavalier Daily

W Soccer | Cavaliers prevail despite uneven display Continued from page B1 No. 30 La Salle (17-5-1, 8-0-1 A10). The Explorers employ a much more compact defense than Virginia was used to seeing in the ACC, and the Cavaliers’ lack of familiarity showed.

“We had a lot of situations where one ball through was going to put somebody in. We just didn’t execute in those situations,” Swanson said. “I thought we needed to calm down a bit more.”

Virginia, if not efficient, was certainly busy on offense, as the Cavaliers tallied 10 shots in

the first half while holding La Salle to just one. It was only a matter of time until Virginia’s characteristically blistering attack would find an opening, and in the 35th minute, sophomore midfielder Morgan Brian took the ball at the top of the box and slipped it past the keeper to notch her fourth goal in three games and stake Virginia out to a 2-0 halftime lead.

“Throughout the game, I think it was all about the work effort,” sophomore forward Danielle Colaprico said of the offense.

“We weren’t getting our passes on target but we were working

hard, and that kept us in the game.”

The Explorers revved up their offensive attack in the second half, with sophomore forward Kelsey Haycook finally burying one past Virginia junior goalie Danielle DeLisle off of Courtney Niemiec’s 59th minute header from a free kick.

“We knew they were pretty good on restarts. It was a different style than we had been playing against,” Swanson said.

“Unfortunately, that one that went in... was a little bit of a breakdown on our part.”

The breakdown lit a fire under

the Cavaliers, who wrested control back from the Explorers. In the 78th minute, Miller sent a cross into the box, which deflected off junior forward Gloria Douglas and an Explorer defender to find the net.

“I swear the cross was intentional,” Miller said jokingly after the game. “I saw a couple of players in white in the box, and I just figured if I hit it, hopefully someone would get it.”

Virginia junior midfielder Kate Norbo sealed the game in the 81st minute with another score.

It was not a particularly pretty win for the team, but at this point it seems the Cavaliers have grown allergic to losing.

Virginia has now won six consecutive games, all against ranked opponents, and next weekend will host Rutgers, who defeated Colgate in its opening round game. Given their torrid run of form, the Cavaliers cannot help but feel good moving on.

“We definitely have a lot of confidence,” Colaprico said after the game. “Coming off the ACC Championship, our confidence is skyrocketing.”

Metzinger | Decisiveness powers memorable victory Continued from page B1 adversity. Ultimately, the coaches and players refused to follow the standard, defeatist script.

Ironically, the most striking example of Virginia’s resolution involves the passing game’s play, an emblem this season of the team’s crippling indecision.

The Rocco-Sims dueling banjos experiment has largely succeeded because of offensive coordinator Bill Lazor’s ability these past two weeks to employ the two quarterbacks in ways that highlight their respective skills. Saturday, Rocco gouged Miami’s soft zones with slant routes and posts, finding a groove on two first quarter scoring drives that supplied him with the moxie to make decisive, assertive plays when he

had to improvise on the 16-play, 87-yard game-winning drive.

Sims, although less effective than Rocco, moved the ball by trusting in the screen game — only yielding to his gunslinger instincts on a few occasions. Throw in the suddenly dangerous receiving corps’ best performance of the year, highlighted by sophomore Dominique Terrell’s 9 catches for 127 yards, and a once unreliable offensive unit now exudes confidence and ability.

“I think we had a great gameplan coming into this week and we just felt confident in executing it,” Sims said. “Both of us did a great job in the first half and throughout the game getting the ball to different guys and making plays when we had to.”

Meanwhile, if the passing game

was mimicking a high-octane Big 12 offense in the first half, the defense surely resembled a paper-thin Big 12 defense. For much of the first three quarters, the relentless athleticism of scintillating freshman phenom Duke Johnson — who finished with 364 all-purpose yards and about 20 “Reggie Bush at USC” moments — and the steady hand of quarterback Stephen Morris reduced the Virginia defense to a grasping, backpedaling mess. In the fourth quarter, nevertheless, the defenders who appeared so slow and overwhelmed for the game’s first 45 minutes singlehandedly preserved the game for Virginia with two monumental stops. After struggling to contain Miami’s incendiary skill players all day, the Cavaliers refused to

let 38 offensive points discourage them from doing their jobs.

“We made some stops when we needed to do it,” senior linebacker Steve Greer said. “We have been talking about that all season, making an identity for our defense.”

Notably, both the offense and defense excelled after the safety — the play that, according to the script, was supposed to spell doom and gloom. The defense’s huge stop thereafter and the offense’s dramatic, nerve-shattering drive resulted from an all-important choice: the choice to keep playing even under the imminent threat of failure and ridicule. It’s not a matter of effort — the Cavaliers have never lacked for that this season — but of steadfastly resolving, after every mishap or

calamity, to press on. And though this decision never guarantees victory on the field, it sets the groundwork for the trust and confidence that define true champions in all walks of life.

“All along we kind of knew deep down that the game was in our hands,” sophomore receiver Darius Jennings said. “We had to take control of our own destiny.

Once we got the ball with two minutes left, we knew we were going to go down there and come out with a win.”

Perhaps, subconsciously, that’s why thousands of fans streamed onto the field to celebrate a win against a .500 team. On some level, maybe Virginia fans recognized the team’s choice to endure — even if they didn’t recognize the script.

Field Hockey | Selenski, Madison hit milestones during weekend Continued from page B1 forward Paige Selenski scored her 100th goal of her career and Madison earned her 100th victory as Virginia’s head coach during Saturday’s win against Iowa (14-7, 5-2 Big 10). Just five minutes into the contest, Selenski rushed in toward the goal from the left side of the field and appeared to lose control of the ball in front of the net before managing to relocate it and knock in her historic score.

“When the defense isn’t set up you really have to take advantage of that,” Selenski said. “I just threw a junk ball along the face of the goal and was able to get the rebound.”

Just five minutes later, however, the Hawkeyes scored twice in a span of a little more than a minute. Both goals resulted from Iowa penalty corners, an area in which the Cavaliers struggled last weekend in the ACC tournament when No. 6 Maryland scored four of its five goals in that phase of play.

“It’s at the part of the season where everyone knows what everyone is doing on [penalty corners],” Madison said. “For tournament time you change a couple things to get some better results.”

The Cavaliers spent nearly the rest of the half playing from behind, but junior back Elly Buckley changed that with an equalizing goal just 11 seconds from the end of the period.

“That goal felt pretty good,” Buckley said. “It allowed us to go into the half even, giving us a clean slate for the next half.”

Virginia battled for a gamewinning goal until 10 minutes from the end of regulation.

Junior forward Elizabeth Hanks stormed down the left side of the field, claimed the ball and subsequently chipped it in front of the goal to junior forward Hadley Bell, who tapped it in to put the Cavaliers ahead for good.

“We really just focused on putting the pressure on them so that we could play our game,”

Bell said. “We were tied up, so we were both trying to find that moment to go in and score.”

Virginia outshot Iowa 14-8, and sophomore goalkeeper Jenny Johnstone earned the win in the net while tallying three saves.

“Iowa was a really good team,” Madison said. “They’re well coached and they’re a great defensive team. They gave us everything we could handle and I’m really proud of how our team stayed composed and worked the game plan.”

Virginia returned to the Turf Field the following day to face Princeton, who earned its spot in the quarterfinal by defeating No. 15 Drexel 5-0. The game marked a rematch of the Cavaliers’ last regular season match, a game Princeton won 2-1 Oct. 28.

By the end of five minutes of action, the teams matched their three-goal combined total from the first meeting. Seconds into the game, the Cavaliers were awarded a penalty corner

that sophomore forward Rachel Sumfest converted into a goal.

“Getting rebounds on corners and capitalizing was something we had really worked on,” Sumfest said. “If you get a goal in the first minute of play it really fires the team up and gets the momentum going for the first half.”

Princeton answered with a goal two minutes later before Buckley put Virginia back ahead 2-1 with another goal resulting from a penalty corner. The Tigers, however, scored twice more in the half to take a 3-2 advantage into the break.

“We knew we were dealing with two of the top teams in the country scoring-wise, so I anticipated a high scoring game,” Madison said. “I knew we were going to come out of the gate strong, and that’s what happened.”

But in the second half, a completely manageable one goal deficit for Virginia soon turned into an insurmountable threegoal deficit when Princeton

senior forward Kathleen Sharkey found the net twice in the period’s first seven minutes.

The Cavaliers tightened up on defense afterwards, but the offense’s failure to regain its early-game fire rendered Virginia’s efforts futile.

“Princeton is a great defensive team all around,” Selenski said. “They don’t really have any weaknesses on the field, which made it a struggle for us. We had the right game plan and started off strong, but we needed to maintain that the whole game.”

Despite their season’s disappointing conclusion, the Cavaliers totaled eight more wins than they did in their 2011 campaign and will return seven of their top nine point scorers for the 2013 season.

“Now we know what it takes during the season to get here,” Sumfest said. “We know that we have to put in the work in preseason and the regular season...

I think we’re going to take this and gear up for next season.”

W Basketball | Virginia survives Burkholder’s 25-point outburst Continued from page B1 ison’s full-court zone press and found sophomore forward Sarah Imovbioh for two. Time and again in the Virginia women’s basketball team’s 78-57 season-opening win at John Paul Jones Arena, Imovbioh and her teammates came up big.

“I thought it was a great game for us,” Boyle said. “I thought we had just a will to win, had a lot of fight in us. I thought we did a really good job on the boards tonight; it’s been our Achilles’ heel all last year.

We challenged the team so that would not be the case this year.”

In a game in which the Cavaliers (1-0, 0-0 ACC) outscored James Madison (0-1, 0-0 CAA) 48-6 in the paint and outrebounded the Dukes 34-29 , Imovbioh’s play stood out.

Only starting because of a shin injury to senior center Simone Egwu, Imovbioh scored 21

points on eight-of-nine shooting while grabbing 10 rebounds in 27 minutes of court time.

As Imovbioh heated up in the second half of her Cavalier debut — she did not play in games last year because of NCAA eligibility rules — and her teammates repeatedly passed her the ball in position to score.

“That’s the game: you feed the hot hand,” junior guard Ataira Franklin said. “I think that we took this game personal [sic] ... We wanted to win for everybody; it wasn’t about one person.”

Five Cavaliers scored eight or more points in the win against James Madison. Franklin, a preseason All-ACC selection, poured in 20 points on 7-11 shooting, and fellow backcourt starters junior Kelsey Wolfe and senior China Crosby added 10 and eight points, respectively. The three guards also combined for 11 assists and 12 steals. Redshirt sophomore for-

ward Sarah Beth Barnette provided 10 points off the bench.

Virginia’s shared scoring load contrasted with James Madison’s reliance on Burkholder.

The smooth-shooting guard kept her team in the game in the early goings, sinking five threes in the game’s first 11 minutes en route to a gamehigh 25 points on 9-of-16 shooting. The rest of the Dukes, however, struggled against Boyle’s trapping 3-2 zone, committing 28 turnovers and failing to penetrate Virginia’s lane.

“We kept losing [Burkholder],” Boyle said. “But again, if she’s going to hit 25 and nobody else is going to be in double figures, then it works.”

Wolfe repeatedly looked for Franklin on the break as Virginia used a 20-2 run late in the first half to turn a 19-19 tie into a 39-21 halftime lead.

Barnette, a transfer from Kentucky playing in her first game for the Cavaliers, scored six points during the game-chang-

C M Y K

ing stretch. Freshman guard Faith Randolph converted a scoop-shot under the arm of her defender during the run, drawing a foul on the play and sinking the free throw.

Crosby’s long-awaited return to the lineup supplied Virginia with intensity and verve. The guard injured her knee 12 games into last season against, of all teams, James Madison.

“China just brings an energy like Frankie [Ataira Franklin] does,” Boyle said. “She just has a fire. You watch her and fires this team up, and you need that, you need that energy and that fire, and she has it. And so, we welcome it back.”

The win also avenges Virginia’s 68-59 loss to James Madison in the quarterfinals of the 2012 WNIT, which ended the Cavaliers’ season.

“What better way to open the season, you know, [than] playing against the team that you lost to?” Franklin said. “It just gave us more momentum, more

hunger going into the game.”

At halftime, the women’s basketball program honored former coach Debbie Ryan and all-time leading scorer Monica Wright. As the team unveiled a banner recognizing Ryan’s accomplishments — she coached Virginia to three consecutive Final Fours from 1990 to 1992 and was the 1990-1991 Naismith Coach of the Year — the home crowd stood in a show of respect and thanks. The fans in John Paul Jones remained on their feet as Wright’s number 22 was retired.

This Virginia team finds itself far from the heights reached

by Ryan and Wright. But with newcomers such as Imovbioh demonstrating so much process, the Cavaliers are excited about their prospects for the 2012-3 campaign.

“Yeah, I feel like I am still getting there, still getting better, trying to move it up,” Imovbioh said. “I’m still learning, so I’m just enjoying the process.”

DJANGEO BY STEPHEN ROWE

OROSCOPES

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Before you’d run a mile, ideally you would put on the right clothes, stretch and decide on a route. But on this busy, crazy, weird day, the prep work seems superfluous. You tear into action.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Get serious and get busy. You work on many different types of projects, and it will serve you well to narrow your focus to the one you’d most like to move forward in the next seven days.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s something you wish you could do well, but you feel you haven’t had the time to learn it.

Devote five minutes a day to this for the next two weeks. Something magical will happen as the universe feels your intention.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Winning at one task will lead to future wins, but if you try to do everything at once, you’ll lose. So tackle one change at a time, keeping in mind that it can take several weeks or more for a new habit to be fully automatic.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You made yourself better through active effort. A friend wants to have what you have but doesn’t realize the effort that would be necessary to make that happen. It will be your job to enlighten him or her.

SOLE SURVIVOR BY MICHAEL GILBERTSON

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Point of view is extremely important. Your perspective will make all the difference in the world today. Success will be entirely dependent on your worldview.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Bright ideas pay off, especially if those ideas have to do with seeing the potential in others and believing in their ability to rise to it. You keep looking for the wonderful, and it keeps showing up.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A brave spirit grabs hold. You’ll be moved to speak your mind. As long as you are as kind as you are assertive, all goes well when you voice your opinion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will absorb information and use it in your work. Instead of letting it happen unconsciously, it’s better if you’re aware of this process so you can credit the right people when the time comes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Tell your own story so others won’t be tempted to tell it for you. Knowing yourself very well and being able to speak in a compelling way about who you are will help your status.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is something in your environment that doesn’t agree with you. You’ll make the choice to be kind to yourself and others even though it won’t be the easiest route.

WHOA BY TIFFANY CHU

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 12). Your presence will be strongly felt by all who surround you. You know who you are and what you want, and that clarity rings out. In January, you will alternate between being the teacher and the student. You send your loving energy into the world, and it’s reciprocated in May. June brings a big, exciting purchase. Pisces and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 28, 41 and 18.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Irritants come in many forms; perfumes, pollen or people could be blamed for your state. Ultimately, you’ll decide to rise above the problem and tolerate the thing that’s making you uncomfortable to the fullest extent that you can.
