hoo's talking "We couldn't be more excited for the USA hockey team. Paige's goal in the opening min- utes provided an early lead and Michelle's goal to secure the win was just fantastic." — Virginia field hockey coach Michele Madison on current players Paige Selenski and Michelle Vittese's goals in a gold medal effort at the Pan American Games for the Team USA competitors (both Cavaliers notched a goal in a 4-2 upset of world No. 1 Argentina, which punches the team's ticket to the 2012 Olympic Games in London) "It's the resilience of our team. We bend but don't break. We came out here and got a great victory. It was a complete team effort. The coach- ing staff did a great job of putting a game plan together in a short week, and we carried it out to a T. It was a great team effort and we did a great job of executing." — Quarterback MICHAEL ROCCO on UVa's 28-21 victory at Miami on Oct. 27 "To tie for third place is pretty good. I thought it was a great opportunity for us to run tough and I was very pleased with how hard our women ran. With two more weeks to prepare [for regionals], we'll only continue to get better and better." — Women's cross country head coach Jason Vigilante after his squad tied for third place at the ACC Championships on Oct. 29 "It's a significant win. They did a nice job and raced really well and it wasn't just our first eight boat. Our second eight and our four did really well, too, and defeated some top competition." — Rowing head coach Kevin Sauer after his 'A' championship eight boat PHOTO BY ANDREW SHURTLEFF won the prestigious 47th Annual Head of the Charles race on Oct. 23 DECEMBER 2011 ◆ 9
