First, there was Kyle — an unheralded walk-on turned defensive cornerstone. Now, it is Griffin and Lara — the twin siblings, anchoring the defense of the Virginia men's and women's lacrosse squads in their own right, just like their older brother once did. And this spring, for the first time in their college careers, they are doing it together.
Editor’s Note: The students interviewed in this article spoke to Rucker’s presence and achievements outside of the context of the award, as they were not aware Rucker had received the award at the time of being interviewed.

At 7 p.m. Friday, students strolling around Grounds may run into some fantastically unfamiliar faces. The Stan Winston & Steve Warner Festival of the Moving Creature, a joyful culmination of two semester-long courses, will parade anthropomorphic “creature” puppets through Grounds. Two massive puppets approximately the size of a small bus — a bird “Delia” and snail “Shelly” — will be accompanied by an entourage of relatively smaller pieces, like handheld and full-body wearable creature puppets.
After an exciting senior day and a much-needed series win against Louisville over the weekend, No. 25 Virginia returned to action Tuesday for a midweek showdown at James Madison. The Cavaliers (34-14, 13-8 ACC) were looking to extend their win-streak and did just that, barreling through Harrisonburg and crushing the Dukes (21-23, 7-11 SBC) 11-0 in six innings.
In today’s Hollywood scene, big-budget movie studios are increasingly prone to leaning on commercially safe, but creatively devoid projects. In particular, this has led to a drastic increase in sequels, reboots and spin-offs. “The Legend of Ochi,” the newest adventure-fantasy film by independent studio A24, proves that original narratives deserve to be told on screen, even if they rely heavily on works from the past.
The American Association of Colleges and Universities released a public statement Tuesday which condemned President Donald Trump’s “unprecedented government overreach” in higher education across the country.

The five musicians comprising the indie-rock band Mt. Joy made their second appearance at John Paul Jones Arena Saturday — but their first one as a headliner. Their new tour “Hope We Have Fun” kicked off in Charlottesville and promoted their new album which will be released May 30. The lively show featured songs from all three of their previous albums, covers and some new and unreleased tracks from the upcoming album. It was split into two sets with a brief intermission.
Against a backdrop of Afrobeats and electric cheers, 29 models from The Organization of African Students stepped onto the runway. They pranced, twirled and posed. They maneuvered their garments to catch the gleam of the spotlight. And they carried objects, from clay pots to gold jewelry, that are symbolic of their roots. Their performance told a story of the memory of their ancestors, the cultural richness of the African continent and the unity of people across the African diaspora — the very “essence” of who they are.

Upon walking into Virginia softball’s locker room, you are met with a huge vision board mounted to the wall. The board consists of twists and turns, similar to the game Life, each sectioned off to represent a different opponent, with a huge circle in the bottom right corner labeled “The Women’s College World Series.” The locker room roadmap, as it is called, is the source of the Cavaliers’ motivation.
The ACC Championships will go down as a tournament filled with emotional highs and dramatic lows for No. 5 seed Virginia.

But their run ended in the championship match, against No. 3 seed Stanford, with a tight match suddenly flipping away from Virginia.
