This simple loaf combines autumn spices, pumpkin and sweet cocoa. I can attest that if you make this recipe, your roommates will love you forever — the loaf will fill your kitchen with warm autumn aromas for at least a day.
To say Virginia completely turned around from a disappointing Friday road loss is an understatement. The Cavaliers (2-1, 0-0 ACC) took a couple of pages from Oklahoma’s book, jumping out to an early lead to defeat Radford 83-41 at John Paul Jones Arena Wednesday. The Highlanders (1-3, 0-0 BSC) were completely overwhelmed by Virginia’s talented offense. However, the Cavaliers’ defense was the main highlight, holding Radford to just 41 points after allowing over 100 against the Sooners Friday. Before the game, the Cavaliers donned orange U.Va. Strong shirts to honor Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler and D’Sean Perry, who were tragically killed two years ago. In memory of its fallen brothers, Virginia dominated.
In a continuation of its discussion last week, Student Council passed resolutions calling on the University to set standardized religious accommodations for students participating in fasting holidays during their General Body meeting Tuesday. Additionally, a resolution recognizing an annual “Day of Peace, Love and Joy,” to honor the lives of D’Sean Perry, Lavel Davis Jr. and Devin Chandler — three Virginia football players killed in a Nov. 13, 2022 shooting on Grounds — passed, as did legislation approving 28 new CIO’s.
After rescuing its season with an incredible upset at No. 23 Pittsburgh Nov. 9, Virginia is just one win away from its first bowl game since 2019. It was not a pretty performance from the Cavaliers (5-4, 3-3 ACC), but the win is potentially season-altering — gauze for a program that had been bleeding out since October. That victory over the Panthers was Virginia’s second road win versus a ranked opponent in the Coach Tony Elliott era.
On National Signing Day, Virginia women’s basketball snagged a potential superstar in Chapel Hill, N.C. native Gabby White. While White announced her verbal commitment back in July, Coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton announced that White has officially signed with the Cavaliers on a financial aid agreement Wednesday. White will join the team starting next season.
Virginia women’s soccer missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 30 years last season, but it is back in the spotlight as a No. 4 seed for the 2024 edition. The Cavaliers will look to shake off their absence from the ACC Tournament when they host Princeton Friday night in a first-round game at Klöckner Stadium.
The Muslim Students Association hosted its fourth annual Culture Showcase Saturday, inviting Muslim and non-Muslim students to dress in cultural attire and give brief presentations on their cultural roots. From explaining the history of their native countries to sharing pop culture references, students celebrated the similarities and diversity in their ethnic backgrounds.
On the two-year anniversary of a tragic shooting that resulted in the deaths of three Virginia football players — Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler and D’Sean Perry — and serious injuries for former Cavalier running back Mike Hollins and fourth-year Commerce student Marlee Morgan, the University continues to grapple with the memory of gun violence on Grounds. Enshrined on Beta Bridge remains the names and jersey numbers of Davis Jr., Chandler and Perry, acting as a physical reminder of the community-wide commitment to honoring their legacy.
Energy buzzed in the Vinegar Hill Theatre this Sunday night at the premiere screening of the short films created for the 20th annual Adrenaline Film Project. The Adrenaline Film Project is a workshop led by local youth filmmaking nonprofit Light House Studio. Under the guidance of four mentors, teams of three write, shoot and edit three- to five- minute short films in a time span of just 72 hours.
As autumn unfolds with its vibrant colors and cooling air, jazz offers a perfect soundtrack to the season’s reflective mood, offering a richness that mirror’s the season’s cozy feel. The genre’s autumn-themed melodies, rich in warmth and a touch of nostalgia, capture the essence of fall — a time of both beauty and introspection. Just as autumn invites us to slow down and savor fleeting moments before winter, these songs bring an intimate, contemplative quality that speaks to the heart, making them timeless favorites as the leaves continue to turn.
On the heels of a heartbreaking loss in the ACC quarterfinals to Syracuse, Virginia field hockey managed to snag an at-large bid during the selection show — staving off the end of the season a little longer. The Cavaliers (13–4, 6–2 ACC) are slated to face off against No. 10 Michigan Friday in Evanston, Ill. Should Virginia conquer the Wolverines (15-4, 5-3 Big Ten), it will almost certainly face No. 2 Northwestern, the host of the first two rounds. The road to a second consecutive Final Four appearance is arduous.
Most — if not all — Virginia men’s basketball fans are accustomed to seeing No. 2 donned by Reece Beekman, a program legend. But like most hallmarks of this program these days, things change. No. 2 is now worn by junior forward Elijah Saunders, who shares little in common with Beekman, except that they both represent the Cavaliers with pride and class.
In the sudden absence of the Batman and after the death of mob boss Carmine Falcone, a power vacuum emerges that Oswald “the Penguin” Cobb sees as his chance to finally ascend Gotham's criminal hierarchy. HBO’s “The Penguin” is set after Matt Reeves’ “The Batman,” and leads directly into his upcoming film “The Batman: Part II.” Thus, it takes place in Reeves’ Batman continuity — known by fans as the “Reevesverse”. Its final chapter, “A Great or Little Thing,” aired Sunday.
Sophomore guard Dai Dai Ames’ hair tie popped off his head mid-play, and so, as Ames dribbled past Coach Ron Sanchez, he handed it off for momentary safekeeping. Then he assisted a three-pointer and, on the next possession, falling backward out of bounds, he summoned some acrobatics to save the ball.
The Honor Committee met Sunday to discuss the implementation of a new sanctioning policy passed Oct. 23, which introduced a “pre-sanctioning” process and expanded the role of the Counsel for the Community in sanctioning decisions. The Committee debated the level of discretion that the Counsel should receive in considering sanctions, as opposed to strictly following training guidelines. Additionally, the Committee brainstormed ideas for fall semester “finals pushes” — support initiatives offered to students during final exams — including coffee tabs and energy drink handouts.
