This Week in Virginia Sports, October 23rd

Thursday, October 23 2008 by Tim

I’ve made a change to the release schedule for this series of articles. I’m not going to be releasing them on Thursday mornings instead of Wednesday mornings. The reason for this is that a lot of the national rankings don’t get updated until very late Tuesday night and sometimes even Wednesday morning. I want to have accurate rankings to reflect what is going on with the programs each week, so I’ve decided to wait to Thursday mornings to publish these lists.

There’s several big match ups this week. #8 Women’s Soccer hosts #2 North Carolina. #13 Field Hockey hosts #2 Wake Forest. Football takes its three game winning streak on the road to #18 Georgia Tech.

We also see the Swimming & Diving team start their season off with a non-conference meet and two conference meets.
