By Zack Bartee | April 28, 2013

The Virginia men’s lacrosse team entered last weekend’s ACC Championship needing a pair of wins to finish above .500 and be eligible for an at-large selection to the NCAA Tournament.

A box full of newspapers

By Ashley Robertson | April 23, 2013

NIT quarterfinal games rarely assume any enduring meaning, but Virginia’s loss to Iowa left me with a pervasive sense of sadness.

Held in Brookshire, Texas, the USPA National Intercollegiate Polo Championship pitted Virginia against the nemesis Big Red in the final.
