Over the past few years, Virginia sports have been nothing short of phenomenal across the board. Since the beginning of the 2014-15 calendar year, the Cavaliers boast NCAA championships in men’s soccer, baseball, a runner-up finish in women’s soccer, two national championships in men’s tennis and numerous other accolades — including ACC Championships from women’s swimming and diving and rowing.

The start of the 2016 offseason could not have been more bizarre for the Virginia men’s lacrosse team.
This past Sunday, the Z Society commended men’s tennis coach Brian Boland for his 16 years of service at the University.

Public perception of the Virginia football program is poor at the moment, and for good reason. The Cavaliers finished only 2-10 (1-7 ACC) this past season, the latest in a long string of disappointing seasons. However, many seem to feel the program is capable of being competitive with the best programs in the ACC conference.
Softball
Virginia men’s tennis coach Brian Boland announced Wednesday morning that he will be leaving the University to become the head of men’s tennis for USTA Player Development. Boland has won three national championships in the past four years with Virginia.
