Virginia’s Kate Douglass, Gretchen Walsh and head coach Todd DeSorbo received 2022 ACC Swimming & Diving Awards.
Douglass was named ACC Women’s Swimmer of the Year, Walsh named ACC Women’s Freshman of the Year and DeSorbo received his second straight ACC Women’s Swimming Coach of the Year.
Douglass, the CSCAA Women’s Swimmer of the Year, earned seven All-America honors, won three individual NCAA titles, four relay NCAA titles and was part of seven American records set by the Cavaliers in the 2022 season. She finished first in the 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard butterfly and 200-yard breaststroke to lead UVA to its second-straight NCAA Championship. Douglass also won three ACC individual titles, winning the 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard freestyle and 100-yard butterfly, to help UVA to its third consecutive ACC Championship.
Walsh burst onto the scene in her freshman season, winning an individual NCAA Championship in the 100-yard freestyle, finishing runner-up in the 50-yard freestyle and 100-yard backstroke and swimming on four NCAA Championship relays. Walsh helped set American records as part of UVA’s relays and set a UVA record in the 100 back and 100 free during the 2022 season.
The CSCAA Women’s Team Coach of the Year for the second straight season, DeSorbo led the Virginia women to their second straight NCAA Championship. He also was named the College Coach of the Year by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee on Wednesday. Virginia won seven national titles in individual and four relay events at the NCAA Championships, the most ever by an ACC team. The Cavaliers won their fourth women’s ACC Championship in five years, and league-record 18th overall.
Notre Dame’s Brunelle visiting UVA women’s hoops this weekend

While new Virginia women’s basketball coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton said she would like to rebuild the Cavaliers program with four-year players, she isn’t opposed to bringing in transfers to help speed the process.
One such transfer, who is visiting UVA’s program this weekend, is Samantha Brunelle, a former high school All-American from nearby William Monroe High. Brunelle entered the transfer portal last week after finishing her career at Notre Dame (see related story on this site).
Brunelle has two years of eligibility remaining after an injury-plagued career with the Irish. She was a standout for the Greene Dragons but understandably did not consider UVA out of high school three years ago because the Cavaliers’ program had dropped to the lower tier of ACC teams.
She was recruited to South Bend by hall of fame coach Muffin McGraw, who has since retired.
Brunelle, who was All-ACC as a freshman, started all 31 games and averaged 13.9 points per game that season. She didn’t miss any games this past season while coming off the bench. During her career with the Irish, she averaged 10 points, 4 rebounds per game and shot 42.6 percent from the field.

Virginia women’s soccer head coach Steve Swanson announced the addition of Sam Raper to the staff as an assistant coach on Thursday.
“We are extremely excited that Sam Raper has agreed to join our staff here at Virginia,” Swanson said. “He is a perfect fit for our program both on and off the field and we cannot wait to have him, and his wife Shelby join us in Charlottesville. Sam brings a wealth of coaching experience with him, especially in terms of training goalkeepers and different positional groups. He also has a broad background working with a variety of video, scouting and data analysis technologies that are an important part of the modern game. More than anything though, it is his character and values as a person that really stood out in the hiring process. He is a great fit for the University, the athletic department, our staff and most importantly, our players and we could not be more excited to have him join our family.”
Raper brings a diverse background with him to Virginia and has most recently worked as an assistant coach for the U.S. U-15 and U.S. U-17 Women’s Youth National Teams. He will serve as goalkeeper coach for the U-17s as the team prepares for the upcoming Concacaf Women’s U-17 Championship in the Dominican Republic later this month. The team is seeking a berth in the 2022 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup later this year. His duties consist of analysis of training and matches while planning and delivering goalkeeper trainings, presentations and evaluations, as well as tracking the individual developmental plans for all the goalkeepers.
In addition to his work with U.S. Soccer, Raper served at Wingate University as an assistant coach for the men’s program since 2018. He also served as an assistant for the women’s program from 2017 through the 2019 seasons and was recently named the interim head coach of the women’s program. In his time with the Bulldogs, he coached United Soccer Coaches All-Region and All-South Athletic Conference honoree Abbey Frail on the women’s side, and USL League one player Pablo Jara, USL League One player Jamie Boegel and current All-SAC selection Jens Bergendorff on the men’s side.
In his tenure, Wingate’s men’s team claimed back-to-back South Atlantic Conference Tournament Championships in 2019 and 2020 and posted 29 shutouts. The women’s team posted 23 shutouts under his tutelage and advanced to the championship game of the South Atlantic Conference Tournament twice. Each program has advanced to the NCAA Tournament in his time on staff.
He also has served as the Director of Goalkeepers for the Wingate International Soccer Academy since August of 2017.

A collective effort on the mound and at the plate fueled No. 3 Virginia (26-3) to an 7-2 victory over Liberty (17-10) on Wednesday at Disharoon Park. The Cavaliers closed a five-game homestand and improved to 19-1 at The Dish this season.
All nine batters in the Cavalier lineup collected a hit and four Virginia pitchers limited the Flames to five hits. Sophomore Jake Gelof was one of three Cavalier multi-hit performers with a 2-for-5 effort at the plate. He added two RBI in the contest bringing his season total up to 53 on the season.
On the mound Devin Ortiz was credited with his fifth win of the year, tying for the team lead. He allowed one run over 4.2 innings and fanned five batters. The righthander worked around a runner in each of the first three innings and the only run that crossed came on a fielder’s choice that was originally ruled an inning-ending double play but overturned on replay. He retired the first two batters of the fifth and struck out the final batter he faced before exiting with 75 pitches.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Virginia captured a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when Kyle Teel scored on a Liberty fielding error. UVA scored in the first inning for 15thtime and now own a 14-1 record when plating the first run of the game this season.
- Liberty tied it up in the top of the fourth on a fielder’s choice RBI from first baseman Logan Mathieu.
- The Cavaliers quickly recaptured the lead for good their half of the frame on a two-out, RBI double down the right field line by freshman Ethan Anderson, scoring Alex Tappen.
- Virginia drove Flames starter Trey Gibson out of the game in the fifth with a three-run frame. Griff O’Ferrall and Kyle Teel scored on an RBI single through the left side by Gelof. Chris Newell executed a successful safety squeeze and legged out the infield single to put UVA in front 5-1.
- The Cavaliers added two more runs, an RBI single by Tappen in the sixth and then a two-out RBI base knock from Max Cotier in the seventh. Cotier has six RBI in his last two games.
- Liberty’s Derek Orndorff hit his 12thhomer of the season, a solo blast in the eighth inning.
- UVA reliever Dylan Bowersworked 1.1 innings of relief and stranded a Liberty runner on third base in the fifth. He recorded the final out by making a backhanded play towards the third base line and delivered a strike to first to retire the side. Matthew Buchanan struck out four batters in two innings, including all three batters he faced in the seventh. Righthander Avery Mabe made his third appearance of the year and pitched a scoreless ninth.
FROM HEAD COACH BRIAN O’CONNOR
“That was one of those games that our guys just kind of grinded it out. I thought Ortiz did it did another nice job of giving us a chance to win. Their starter (Trey Gibson) was good, he was their conference rookie of the year last year and did a nice job. Fortunately, we were able to find some holes there and then the in the fifth inning to get the three runs was really huge. It was a collective effort and everybody throughout the lineup had a hit and contributed in some form or fashion. It was great to see Avery Mabe finish that game because, there’s opportunities for other guys on this pitching staff at the end of this month when we play two games in the middle of the week, rather than one. You’re going to need some pitching depth to continue to win at a high rate I thought Matthew Buchanan was outstanding and did a did a nice job. Overall, it was a well-played game.”
UP NEXT: The Cavaliers will resume ACC play this weekend when they travel to No. 8 Miami for a three-game series. Friday’s series opener will air on ACC Network at 7 p.m. The series continues on Saturday at 7 p.m. and concludes on Sunday with the finale at 1 p.m.

- Virginia improved to 41-22-1 all-time against Liberty and have won 11 of the last 12 against the Flames at Disharoon Park. Under O’Connor, UVA is 17-3 against Liberty.

- Mackenzie Wooten’s win was her second win in relief this season and fifth of her career.
FROM HEAD COACH JOANNA HARDIN
“It was good to bounce back after the weekend. Midweeks have been the Achilles heel for us and I was proud of the focus and being ready to go from the first pitch. Really, there was a lot of intent from the team and it started in warmups. It was good to see us capitalize on some mistakes and have some good at bats. I was hopeful we would score a few more runs late because we left 10 on base, but we talked about coming through in the clutch and timely hitting. Aly threw well in the start and we put it together as a bullpen; that’s what we have to do down the stretch. We’re excited to get back to work tomorrow and prepare for a good series against Duke this weekend.”
UP NEXT FOR THE HOOS
Virginia continues to play at home this weekend with a three-game series against No. 13 Duke. The series begins at 6 p.m. on Friday (April 8) and will continue with game two at 1 p.m. on Saturday and conclude with a noon game on Sunday.

Elliott: Running game is critical to our success
By Jerry Ratcliffe

For years, Virginia football fans have been promised a running game they could rely on. Never happened, unless one considers the quarterback as the primary ball carrier.
Bronco Mendenhall, at least for the past couple of seasons, said the running game should be the best it had been during his time here. It wasn’t. Instead, he turned over the reins to pass-happy offensive coordinator Robert Anae and we all saw what resulted, .500 football.
Don’t get me wrong. Watching Brennan Armstrong put up huge passing yardage was thrilling.
The old coaches will tell you that largely passing numbers are losing numbers.
Effective passing games are enhanced by supportive running attacks, and that’s what has been missing at UVA for a very long time.
Tony Elliott aims to end that notion. Certainly he will take advantage of Armstrong’s strong arm and his ability to run as a dual-threat QB. There has to be more. There has to be an effective running game.
Elliott is trying to build a base for that in the limited 15 spring practices, and it isn’t easy when half your linemen are either on the mend from offseason surgery or haven’t arrived through the transfer portal.
Would have been much easier if the entire starting offensive line had stayed put and not entered the portal themselves. Woulda, shoulda, coulda.
I asked Virginia’s new head coach recently to share his philosophy on the run game in the big picture and he gladly obliged.
“It’s critical,” Elliott said. “We want to be balanced, and sometimes that gets misinterpreted. Some people think, ‘Well, you’ve gotta be 50-50 run-to-pass.’ No, that’s not what we’re saying.
“When we say balance, we’re effective running the ball and sometimes that means three yards is an effective run. If you can stay ahead of the chains or you can convert a short-yardage running play, that’s what we’re trying to establish.”
How many times have we watched Virginia fail to rush for one or two yards at critical juncture, including last season’s late-game debacle against Virginia Tech that led to the nonsensical tackle-eligible pass behind the line of scrimmage to lumbering tackle Bobby Haskins, who was buried along with Virginia’s hopes of winning the Coastal Division? Yes, another Anae stroke of brilliance.
Elliott had more thoughts on what a running game means to his offense, particularly after being part of Clemson’s machine the past dozen years.
“And then, just for us offensively, and from a team standpoint, being able to run the football sets the tempo for the team,” the coach explained. “It forces the defense to practice against the run and now they’re developing that physical mindset.
“You have a physical mindset up front, and then you have confidence that when it’s time for when the game is on the line and it’s time to go run the football, that you can go convert whatever you need to convert running the football. So [the running game] is critical to our success.”
It has been more than a decade since Virginia’s running game finished in the ACC’s top five. Not since 2011 — Mike London’s best season at 8-5 — has UVA enjoyed a powerhouse running game. The Cavaliers, on the strength of Perry Jones’ powerful legs, finished fourth in the league that season in rushing.
Three times (2016, 2017 and last season), UVA was dead-last in the league in rushing (only 121.8 yards per game in 2021.
After Saturday’s sixth practice, Elliott was admittedly hoping his offense would be further along, but he understood why.
“We’ve got 10 linemen and there’s been days when we’ve had eight linemen, and so if you’re running two groups, you need at least 10 linemen, meaning guys are doing double duty,” Elliott said.
That has meant Jonathan Leech has been going from right tackle to left tackle, to left guard to right guard. Ty Furnish is playing center and guard. Derek Devine is playing guard and tackle. Who’s on first and What’s on second?
“When you’re installing a new offense, new schemes, different calls, different verbiage, that’s tough for those guys,” Elliott said.
If that wasn’t enough to complicate the matter, then the spring’s best performer at running back, Ronnie Walker Jr., a fifth-year from Hopewell via the transfer portal last season from Indiana, was injured in live action and his spring is over.
“Ronnie was having the best [spring] up until he got hurt the other day in practice,” Elliott revealed. “He took a shot on his leg and he will be out for a little while. He was having a really, really good start to spring, just very consistent, workman-like, was gonna do what you asked him to do.”
Amaad Foston, a 6-foot, 210-pound redshirt freshman running back from Milledgeville, Ga., is trying to “feel the offense,” in Elliott’s words.
Elliott’s offense, led by OC Des Kitchings and running backs coach Keith Gaither, is different than last year’s under Mendenhall.
“It’s a little bit different,” Elliott said. “Outside zone, inside zone, from three different alignments, that’s tough on a back.”
Mike Hollins, a 5-9, 210 running back from Baton Rouge, La., hasn’t really touched the ball much during his two previous seasons at Virginia. Armstrong and Bryce Perkins, running quarterbacks that have led the team in rushing the past few seasons, have many more touches than Hollins, who has potential.
“Mike, I believe, is the most talented of the [running backs] group,” Elliott said. “The first couple of days, we were on him pretty hard. It was just practice habits, the little things, just trying to go above and beyond. That’s what I’m trying to get established with everybody, that whatever somebody else suggests, that it’s just a suggestion. Like, that’s not our standard.
“Our standard is set above what anybody else expects of us, so he’s one guy that I’m just trying to pull through the knothole. He wants to, but he’s got to be consistent.”
