Game of the Week: Women's Soccer 2, Georgetown 1 (Sunday) - With two goals in the second half, the Huskies knocked off Georgetown, the No. 2 seed in the National Division, in the Big East tournament, avenging a loss to the Hoyas in last season's quarterfinals.
Key Performance: Lauren Aird, Field Hockey (Saturday) - The all-everything senior scored two goals in a 4-0 win over Villanova to earn a share of the Big East regular-season title.
Big Letdown: Darius Butler, Football - This space is usually reserved for wisecracks, but this week it's more for condolences.
Butler will be out four-to-six weeks with a left knee injury suffered during a scrum after a kickoff Saturday.
Wish We Were There: Daphne, Ala., Feb. 25, 1986 - Let there be touchdowns.
With wise men bearing myrrh and Vince Lombardi cutting the umbilical chord, Pat White's birth was something to behold.
The West Virginia quarterback performed miracles again Saturday: Rentschler Field has never been quieter than when the senior scrambled for a 24-yard touchdown run on third-and-long.
Number of the Week: 101 - The number of points West Virginia has scored against the Huskies in their last two meetings, both Mountaineers wins.
White has scored six touchdowns against UConn (four rushing, two passing), with three in each game.
