No. 4 seed Virginia women’s soccer faced No. 5 seed Wisconsin in the second round of the NCAA Tournament Friday in Irvine, Calif. Neither team scored in regulation or either of the two overtime periods, and after four rounds of penalty kicks, the Cavaliers (13-5-0, 5-5-0) were eliminated by the Badgers (10-5-5, 5-3-3 Big Ten) 0-0 (4-2).

The game had remained close for a while, Tennessee threatening to pull away from Virginia but never following through. But with six minutes left came a damning sequence. The Cavaliers (3-1, 0-0 ACC) missed a layup, allowed a three-point play, turned over the inbounds pass and then surrendered two free throws.
Any soccer fan that has visited Klöckner Stadium has heard it. They’ve felt it. They’ve probably even participated in it.
Homer Simpson once said, “Lord, we're especially thankful for nuclear power, the cleanest, safest energy source there is … except for solar which is just a pipe dream.” Gov. Glenn Youngkin agreed — in July, at a press conference, he said something very similar and followed it up by recently facilitating a deal between Amazon and Dominion Energy that promises new nuclear power plants in Northern Virginia. While Youngkin has tried to frame these deals as a benefit for the economy and those in it, these plants will not actually be providing cheaper, cleaner energy for regular civilians. Instead, these are plans from which Youngkin stands to gain political capital and tax revenue. In short, Youngkin is trying to entice data centers to move to Northern Virginia for his own political gain, and presenting this to the taxpayer as a service to the citizen is deceiving.
In December of 2023, the Charlottesville City Council approved a revised zoning ordinance, designed to combat the housing shortage in Charlottesville. Key changes to the ordinance included expanding the number of multi-family residence zones and prioritizing affordable housing and economic diversity in a process known as upzoning. The decision was hotly contested, with some particularly disgruntled locals, including three professors from the University filing a lawsuit against the City of Charlottesville. The crux of their argument was bureaucratic in nature — a cover for quality of life concerns — and as of right now three of the four counts have been thrown out, with a ruling on the fourth coming soon. In the meantime, the City is allowed to continue operating under the guidelines of the new ordinance. One year removed from the drama, the current progress being made signals optimism for the future of Charlottesville’s housing market.
Three weeks ago, junior Gary Martin had an incredible run at the ACC Cross Country Championships, producing an event record time of 22:17.6 to claim Virginia’s first individual ACC men’s title since 2010. Last week, Virginia won the team event at the NCAA Southeast Regional on its way to qualifying for the NCAA Cross Country Championships.
As the weather turns colder and exams draw nearer, students on Grounds are increasingly unable to wrench themselves away from their course reading materials. For those literary-inclined students who miss having the time to read what they choose, it is almost time to curl up in a cozy armchair at home with a hot cup of tea and a story selected solely for pleasure. Students that are swimming in assignments may be itching to get away — and the residents of the University’s Language Houses know that there is no better form of escapism than a story that journeys across both national and linguistic borders.
The catalyst to Virginia’s success Wednesday night, as per usual, was sophomore guard Kymora Johnson. Coming off of a 20-point outing in a Nov. 17 win against La Salle, Johnson kept the hot hand with 22 more points against Alabama State. She scored the game’s first five points to set the tone for a commanding 85-50 win for the Cavaliers (4-1, 0-0 ACC) over the Hornets (2-2, 0-0 SWAC) at John Paul Jones Arena.

The Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy is competitive — already a selective school, its academics are rigorous. On top of it all, it uses a grading policy which “suggests” that all courses be curved to a 3.5 GPA, something which ensures a distribution that limits the number of “A” grades given in any class. The “Batten Curve,” as it is known colloquially, has drawn skepticism from Batten students who question whether it truly serves their best interest — with some advocating for its change or even removal.
In recent years, University community members have spearheaded several initiatives to amplify Native American voices. Specifically, student organizations, activist groups and academic programs have focused on highlighting individual differences among Indigenous students and bridging the gap between the University and Virginia tribes.
Corn pudding, a Midwestern comfort dish, has been a fixture of my family’s Thanksgiving table for years. I like to describe corn pudding as cornbread, but better — it’s made with a velvety sour cream batter filled with corn kernels that pop with sweetness. As corny as it sounds, the resulting dish brings dinner guests together over a shared sweet-and-savory experience.
Before a panel of former White House and Cabinet speechwriters, eight students delivered five-minute speeches in the final round of the fourth annual U.Va. Student Oratory Competition Monday evening. Think Again, a University initiative that promotes free speech, and the Karsh Institute of Democracy hosted the event with the goal of sparking conversation and civic engagement among audience members.
The Charlottesville Police Department responded to a shots fired call at approximately 8:07 p.m. on the 800 block of Hardy Drive, according to a safety advisory sent by Timothy Longo, chief of the University Police Department and associate vice president for security and safety.
After a frustrating 35-14 defeat at the hands of Notre Dame last weekend, Virginia football once again will look to pick up its sixth win of the season Saturday when it hosts No. 13 Southern Methodist at Scott Stadium. This is the penultimate regular season game of 2024 and the home finale, with seniors set to be honored during a pregame ceremony.
It started with one goal. An isolated burst of fortune midway through a season bereft of any.
Nothing says “early season basketball” like two undefeated teams facing off at a neutral site somewhere very far away. Last November, Virginia took on Wisconsin and West Virginia in Fort Myers, Fla. This year, the Cavaliers (3-0, 0-0 ACC) are going even further from John Paul Jones Arena to take on No. 11 Tennessee in Nassau, Bahamas to open the Continental Tire Baha Mar Championship Thursday at 9:30 p.m. on CBS. The Volunteers (4-0, 0-0 SEC) will present a great challenge to a Virginia squad that has performed well but has yet to face elite competition.
