Modifying Recent Posts list

Running Rev News on a test installation, and looking forward to implementing it on my production blog. I have a question about a default feature I'd like to change: the Recent Posts list in the sidebar. This is the code that presently pulls those post titles:

Code:

<?php get_archives('postbypost', 5); ?>

What I'd prefer is a list of the 5 most recent posts in a given category: the title, the date, and the excerpt. Can get_archives be modified to pull this information, or is it necessary to use the Loop there? Any help would be appreciated.
