Less than seven minutes into No. 6 seed Virginia’s NCAA Tournament quarterfinal Sunday against No. 3 seed Johns Hopkins, as the Blue Jays celebrated their fourth goal, sophomore goalie Kyle Morris trotted onto the field to replace junior goalie Matt Nunes. The change happened swiftly and without ceremony. Then Morris settled in and played the remainder of Virginia’s riveting double-overtime victory, making eight saves and allowing six goals as Nunes watched from the sideline.

After a devastating home series loss to NC State that put their regional host prospects in jeopardy last weekend, Virginia baseball was back at home this weekend for the final match of the 2023-24 Commonwealth Clash. With a chance to make a statement and climb the standings before the ACC Tournament, the Cavaliers (40-14, 18-12 ACC) seized the opportunity — not allowing the Hokies (32-20, 14-16 ACC) to win a single game.

At first he sprinted euphorically away, holding his arms aloft, diving into the crowd of onrushing teammates. Then he collapsed to the turf, pushed there by an impromptu team pileup, disappearing in the mound of jubilant, screaming bodies. Everyone else quickly jumped up and careered away, leaping in the air, yelling, hugging.

Billie Eilish, alternative-pop artist and nine-time Grammy Award winner, released her new album May 17 entitled “HIT ME HARD AND SOFT.” The 10 deeply soulful songs together make up a nearly 45-minute listening experience filled with unorthodox musical patterns that do just as the title suggests and alternate between moments of hard intensity and soft tranquility.

It had to be graduate attackman Connor Shellenberger. Deep in the second overtime, a season and a career hanging tenuously on the line, it only made sense for Shellenberger to be the one whose goal delivered No. 6 seed Virginia an 11-10 win over No. 3 seed Johns Hopkins. The goal triggered a torrent of orange-and-blue jerseys that poured onto the field to celebrate victory in Sunday’s NCAA Tournament quarterfinal at Johnny Unitas Stadium.

Colorful balloons stood out against an overcast sky as graduating students of the Class of 2024 streamed down the Lawn Saturday for the first day of final exercises.

Following a victory against Miami (Ohio) late Saturday night that kept Virginia softball’s season alive, the team was shut out 6-0 by Tennessee Sunday afternoon. The No. 3 Volunteers (43-10, 19-5 SEC) rode on dominant pitching through the NKCA Regional, which they hosted in Knoxville, Tenn. Tennessee allowed no runs through three games, including two shutouts against the Cavaliers (34-1209, 15-9 ACC). Virginia’s appearance in the Regionals marked its first NCAA Tournament bid since 2010 — the Cavaliers have yet to reach the Super Regionals. Leading up to Sunday’s affair, Virginia defeated the RedHawks (49-9, 26-1 MAC) Friday to open regional play, but a defeat at the hands of the Volunteers Saturday afternoon pitted the Cavaliers against Miami once again that same evening. Virginia prevailed, culminating in Sunday’s rematch against Tennessee in the final round of the Knoxville Regional.

Virginia baseball has had 35 players appear in a game in 2024. Only five have started in every game they have appeared in, which is already an admirable feat. Within that group, only three have started all 54 games. Junior infielder Griff O’Ferrall has started every match at shortstop, junior utility player Ethan Anderson has split time at designated hitter, first base and catcher while sophomore outfielder Harrison Didawick has played all across the outfield.

With a team score of 13-under this week, the Cavaliers thoroughly dismantled the layout of the University Club in Baton Rouge, La. and, in doing so, have fought their way into the NCAA Championships beginning Friday in Carlsbad, Calif. Virginia entered this week’s competition ranked No. 13 in the May 3 NCAA rankings and sought to prove themselves to that point following what was an up-and-down fifth-place performance at the ACC Championships.

Virginia men’s basketball picked up its fifth transfer of the offseason Wednesday afternoon as former Kansas State freshman guard Dai Dai Ames announced his commitment to the Cavaliers. Ames claims Virginia’s final scholarship spot and will have three years of eligibility remaining, having only played one year in Manhattan, Kan. before entering the transfer portal in April.

Before taking my University graduation photos, I spent hours designing the perfect graduation cap and picking the perfect dress. Some students may view these items as nothing more than graduation attire — for me, they represent a decision to let go of my lingering grief over the cancelation of my high school graduation. Through these items, I have learned to see my college graduation not as a way to make up for the past but as an event worth celebrating on its own.

In a university steeped in old traditions, few students witness the rise of a new one during their time on Grounds. From Lighting of the Lawn to Block Party, many students adopt University traditions that have been passed down from one generation to the next. But, for the past five semesters, some students have experienced the creation of a new tradition — the naked party.

A pit stop at Bodo’s Bagels is a must-do at the University. Students swing by Bodo’s on the Corner to fuel study sessions, cure hangovers and catch up with friends over a weekend brunch. Though more conventional orders — like a bagel with cream cheese or an egg sandwich — are common, many students concoct more peculiar orders. This week, my friends and I called upon more seasoned patrons for Bodo’s inspiration, trying five of the most intriguing Bodo’s sandwiches recommended to us by our fourth-year friends. Some of these orders demonstrated the elderly wisdom of the eldest class, but others made us wonder whether these soon-to-be graduates — and their palates — are ready for adult life.

On the heels of an incredible seven championships over the past four years, three graduating sports writers from The Cavalier Daily share their thoughts on what it means to be a Cavalier.

Virginia faced off against Florida Sunday afternoon in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at Klöckner Stadium. The No. 5 seed Cavaliers (15-5, 6-3 ACC) fell to the Gators (19-2, 6-0 AAC) 13-8 as the visitors used a big 5-1 surge in the fourth quarter to run away with the game late.

The game kept going, and the goals kept mounting. Graduate attackman Payton Cormier, chasing a monumental record, scored again and again. He tallied five goals by halftime of Virginia’s first-round NCAA Tournament game Saturday against St. Joseph’s, pushing himself to the brink of breaking a slew of records. The records were shattered in the third quarter, when he somehow scored three times more.

Virginia’s pitching staff is not great, and that can be shown through a simple number — it surrenders a frustrating earned run average of 5.69 runs per game. Last season, that number was 3.81. It is not hyperbole to say that pitching failure is the primary reason that the Cavaliers are mathematically unable to repeat as division champions. Losing all three 2023 weekend starters to MLB organizations does not help — and could explain part of the pitching struggles in 2024 — but focusing specifically on the bullpen, a slight majority of pitchers have actually been with Virginia for multiple seasons. The experience is there and should be yielding positive results.

No. 10 Virginia’s five-game winning streak came to an untimely halt in this weekend’s series against No. 23 NC State. The Cavaliers (37-14, 15-12 ACC) bookended the weekend with costly losses to the Wolfpack (29-19, 15-11 ACC) in which the bullpen underperformed — a recurring issue this season. Though individual performances shone and Virginia picked up a meaningful win Saturday afternoon, the team’s postseason outlook remains in flux.

Art is a driving force for student expression at the University. It is — sometimes literally — a canvas for students to tap into their artistic sides and express themselves in new and meaningful ways. From student-formed bands that elevate nightlife, to individual art exhibits on display at the University’s Ruffin Gallery, the arts community at the University is filled with a plethora of passionate creatives.
