MUNDY, MCCLELLAN SIGN WITH DALLAS

Virginia tight end Aaron Mundy and cornerback Greg McClellan signed free-agent contracts with the Dallas Cowboys on Friday. Mundy, a first-team All-ACC selection, had 85 receptions in his career with the Cavaliers. The 6-foot-5, 280-pounder is a Hampton native. McClellan is a 5-10, 193-pound native of Winston-Salem, N.C.

In another signing, David Pyne, brother of Virginia Tech All-America center Jim Pyne, signed a contract with the New York Giants. David Pyne, also a center, played at Lafayette College in Easton, Pa.

VMI's second basketball recruit under new coach Bart Bellairs is Greg Robison, who, at 6-feet-10, is as tall as any player ever to sign with the Keydets.

Robison, originally from Chilicothe, Ohio, suffered a stress fracture in one of his feet that limited his availability this past season at Fork Union Military Academy.

Virginia Tech freshman Detra Edmunds placed fourth in the College Women's Eastern Division of the triple jump with a leap of 37-10 1/2 late Thursday night at the Penn Relay Carnival in Philadelphia.

Virginia Tech freshman Oliver Mayo was named Metro Conference Rookie of the Year in men's tennis.

Mayo, from Canberra, Australia, had an 11-7 record at first singles and was ranked as high as 54th nationally. Mayo also was named to the All-Metro team, as were fellow Hokies Scott Cuppett and Miki Pusztai.

Stephanie Herbert, a Blacksburg High School graduate, was named James Madison's female scholar-athlete of the year.

Herbert, a senior majoring in political science, has a 3.83 grade-point average and has earned All-East honors twice in the 10,000 meters and once in the 5,000 in track.

Jennifer Shimrak and Liz Florence scored four goals apiece, and Roanoke used a nine-goal second half to beat Randolph-Macon in an Old Dominion Athletic Conference women's lacrosse semifinal.

The Maroons (10-3), ranked seventh nationally, will play the winner of today's Lynchburg-Washington and Lee semifinal at 1 p.m. Sunday for the championship.

Ryan Glynn did the job on the mound and at the plate in VMI's 6-4 Southern Conference baseball tournament victory over sixth-seeded Marshall in Charleston, S.C.

Glynn pitched 8 innings to pick up the victory, giving up eight hits and striking out four. He hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the first inning to tie the score at 3.

The Keydets (21-27), who set a single-season school record for victories, will play The Citadel, seeded fifth, in the winner's bracket final at 3 p.m. today. They are the only unbeaten teams in the double-elimination tournament.

Four VMI players were named to the all-conference team selected by the coaches: Glynn, designated hitter John Payne, second baseman Louie Napoleon and shortstop David Groseclose.
