In the burgeoning film hub that is Charlottesville, there are a number of outlets for members of the community to be exposed to the world of film. Especially in the wake of the Virginia Film Festival, which recently premiered more than 100 films to sold-out crowds over five days, there is truly no shortage of art being produced and appreciated by the local community. However, the driving force behind the student film scene in Charlottesville is the Filmmakers Society.
Acrisure Stadium is a great place for a night game. The stadium is packed, the lights are bright and the competition is fierce. Yet, amongst all the glory of the iconic venue, the Virginia football team left the venue in Pittsburgh, Pa., feeling like the best team around. With a 24-19 win against the No. 23 Panthers, the Cavaliers (5-4, 3-3 ACC) have snapped their three-game losing streak and will look to turn their season back around after getting their third comeback win after halftime this season. Coach Tony Elliott praised his team’s resiliency postgame.
1950sNovember 11, 1953“Gillespie Triumphs In Pipe Contest”By Robert EgglestonSecond year James T. Gillespie smoked a pipe consistently for one hour, 39 minutes and 32 seconds to win the first Mason-Dixon Intercollegiate Pipe-Smoking Contest hosted in Madison Hall. Another University student landed second place, smoking his pipe for nine less minutes. Gillespie believed he could have puffed his pipe 10 minutes longer if he had not let his pipe go out while he was talking.
Virginia traveled to Norman, Okla., Friday to face No. 10 Oklahoma in its second matchup of the season. The Cavaliers (1-1, 0-0 ACC) could not match the lengthy runs the Sooners (2-0, 0-0 SEC) had throughout the game and were defeated 95-51. The team's offense had a pedestrian performance, but horrendous defense left even more to be desired. Despite an ugly loss, facing a top-10 opponent this early in the season was a helpful litmus test for Coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton’s squad.
After a busy week that saw Virginia wrestling dominate North Dakota State in a dual and then compete in the Southeast Open the next day, the Cavaliers (2-0, 0-0 ACC) got a weeklong break before the Throwdown on the Yorktown Friday in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. This notable set of duals was played on the USS Yorktown, an aircraft carrier built during World War II that is now a museum ship. Virginia picked up a 24-11 win against Citadel before seeing its dual against Gardner-Webb canceled due to condensation on the mats.
Virginia volleyball traveled to Blacksburg Friday and emerged victorious over Virginia Tech in the second and final Commonwealth Clash of their 2024 season. The Cavaliers (19-6, 9-5 ACC) conquered the Hokies (7-17, 1-13 ACC) in a strong performance, sweeping them in three straight sets.
“Survive and advance” is a phrase that goes hand in hand with the ACC men’s soccer tournament. No. 9 seed Virginia indeed survived a first-round thriller Wednesday against No. 8 seed NC State. The Cavaliers came from behind to win 2-1 partly thanks to junior defender Nick Dang’s erasing of a potential last-second Wolfpack equalizer. With the quarterfinal approaching Sunday night, Virginia will get a second chance against No. 1 seed Pittsburgh at Ambrose Urbanic Field, where the Panthers obliterated the Cavaliers 4-1 just last month.
With under eight minutes remaining and his team holding a six-point lead, Ryan Dunn stood in the corner as his teammates ran a play drawn up by a multiple-time Coach of the Year. Dunn snuck towards the elbow, setting a screen before finding himself all alone at the top of the key. The 6-foot-8 forward took the handoff from his veteran big man and pulled the trigger. Fans erupted as Dunn nailed his third three-pointer of the night, his name booming over the public address system while the orange accents on his jersey glittered in the bright arena lights.
Ahead of this year’s presidential election, many out-of-state students faced barriers in receiving and submitting absentee ballots in time to vote. Varying state laws regarding notarization and voter registration procedure, as well as delays in approval of mail-in ballot requests, sparked confusion and frustration as several students feared their votes would not be counted.
After a brutal 41-14 defeat to North Carolina in its most recent game — plus a bye week to recover — Virginia football eyes a crucial showdown at No. 23 Pittsburgh. There is certainly a lot to work on for Coach Tony Elliott’s bunch, namely a horrendous defense that has surrendered 40 or more points in each of the last two games, as well as an offense that has failed to score when it matters due to key injuries on the offensive line. Now, they will look to turn their fortunes around Saturday. Fortunately, the Cavaliers (4-4, 2-3 ACC) are getting healthier, and will look to brighten their fortunes and get back on track for a bowl game. If the Virginia offense can rise to the occasion and the defense can rebound from an incredibly rough stretch, there is a far-fetched but visible path to victory.

After it all — the two goals in 19 seconds, the unplanned goalkeeper substitutions, the penalty kick that wasn’t, the frenzied final forays — it came down to this. To all 22 players smushed into one penalty area as the ball bounced around.
For most students, November is the time for midterm exams, elections and trips home for Thanksgiving. But perhaps the thing that students have looked forward to most this month is Marriage Pact. The annual matchmaking survey, which couples up participants using a compatibility score, launched online for University students Monday morning. Marriage Pact gives students a chance to meet their future spouse during the glory days of college. Whether or not students strike gold with their match, the pact brings about plenty of fun — and a slew of awkward DMs.
The post-Tony Bennett era for Virginia men’s basketball started on the right foot with a victory Wednesday night. The Cavaliers (1-0, 0-0 ACC) defeated Campbell 65-56 at John Paul Jones Arena thanks to strong debut performances from freshman forward Jacob Cofie and junior forward Elijah Saunders, who scored 16 and 11 points, respectively, to lead the hosts to a win over the Fighting Camels (0-1, 0-0 CAA). Junior guard Isaac McKneely added 11 points and sophomore forward Blake Buchanan tallied 10 points in the first victory of Interim Coach Ron Sanchez’s tenure.
