Whoever originated the old saying, “Offense wins games, but defense wins championships”, might want to be advised: defense wins games, too.
That was the case on Wednesday evening down at Dorrance Field on the campus of North Carolina, where the No. 2 seed Syracuse Orange defeated the No. 7 seed Virginia Tech Hokies, 9-4, in a veritable slog-fest in the ACC quarterfinals.
Struggling all night to find any consistency on offense, the defense made sure to keep Virginia Tech at bay so that the Orange were never really challenged despite not even reaching double-figures themselves. It takes a special kind of defensive effort to accomplish that.
Former Reston Planner Glenn William Saunders Jr., 93, Dies - Reston, VA - Saunders, a civil engineer and former town manager of the Town of Fairfax, was the second employee hired by Reston founder Robert E. Simon.

With only a few short days before the 2021 NFL Draft begins, the Las Vegas Raiders still have some obvious needs in the secondary.
They did add a new face at safety recently in free agency, reuniting with their former first-round pick from 2016 in Karl Joseph.
Even with that signing, the Raiders could still use more capable depth in a secondary in need of playmakers.
If they decide to wait until the middle rounds of the draft to add someone, Virginia Tech safety
Divine Deablocould prove an intriguing option.
Having been a member of the Huskies for five years in total, Deablo enters the draft on the older side at 23 years old.

The victory, which improved their record to 12-2 (8-2) to close the regular season, was a complete one on both ends of the field, as the Orange made a statement coming back from their disappointing, last-minute loss against the Eagles on Thursday night.
