No. 8 field hockey received a second chance at the postseason when the NCAA Field Hockey Committee gifted Virginia (13-4, 6-2 ACC) with an at-large bid, sending the Cavaliers to Evanston, Ill., where they faced off against No. 6 Michigan Friday.

Virginia volleyball took on No. 7 Stanford out west in Stanford, Calif. Friday and was promptly defeated in all three sets. The Cavaliers (19-7, 9-6 ACC) had only met the Cardinal (20-4, 12-3 ACC) on the court once before — back in 2001 when Stanford handed Virginia a 3-0 defeat.

Virginia men’s soccer jogged off at halftime, soaked and struggling. The Wake Forest goals had charged in like a torrent, one and then two and then three.
Tony Bennett wanted to call Jay Wright. As he teetered on the brink of his 16th season helming the Virginia men’s basketball program, he wanted advice from a like-minded contemporary. He wanted to see what Wright, the former Villanova coach who retired suddenly in 2022, had to say about whether it was worth it to continue coaching in the modern era of college basketball, one inextricably linked with Name, Image and Likeness.
Hundreds of students and community members gathered on the Lawn Wednesday night for a candlelight vigil and moment of silence in honor of the victims on the anniversary of the Nov. 13, 2022 shooting that killed three students and left two injured.

The idea hatched in the mind of a middle-aged dad. Wouldn’t it make an awesome advertising project, Joshua Levitt thought, to have some Virginia football players attempt ballet?
Since squash became a varsity sport in 2017, the Cavaliers have been a force to be reckoned with on the college circuit — both the men’s team and women’s team are ranked sixth in this year’s preseason poll. Virginia men’s and women’s squash are set to kick off their season in a home matchup against Columbia, with its No. 8 ranked men’s team and No. 9 ranked women’s team Saturday at the McArthur Squash Center. Yet squash has not gained significant popularity in the eyes of Virginia fans, so a guide is in order for the Cavalier faithful. From basic rules to a preview of the schedule, this guide is all you will need to prepare to follow along with the upcoming season.

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.

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.

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.

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.
