No. 6 Virginia women’s tennis traveled to Louisville Sunday to play at Bass-Rudd Tennis Center in a quick turnaround from their Friday match at Notre Dame. However, the turnaround did not appear to phase the Cavaliers (10-2, 2-0 ACC), as they easily defeated the unranked Cardinals (4-5, 0-2 ACC) 6-1.

Virginia men’s lacrosse faced Ohio State Sunday afternoon in a game that ended up being a tale of two halves. The No. 3 Cavaliers (3-0, 0-0 ACC) used a blistering start to take a 10-3 lead into halftime, but the No. 20 Buckeyes (4-1, 0-0 Big Ten) recovered for a more competitive second half. The Cavaliers, though, maintained a buffer that never shrank to less than five goals and emerged with a 14-8 win.

Barring injury or catastrophe, junior goalie Matt Nunes will eventually climb to the top of the Virginia men’s lacrosse standings for career goalie wins. After Sunday’s 14-8 defeat of No. 20 Ohio State, Nunes is tied for seventh on the list, and with the better part of two seasons remaining to win 24 more games, he likely will get there. The issue is that sports tend to invite plenty of that injury and catastrophe, so it’s better to focus instead on what is happening more immediately.

The fifth game for Virginia women’s lacrosse ended in dominant fashion against Cornell, as the No. 15 Cavaliers (4-1, 0-1 ACC) defeated the Big Red (2-1, 0-0 Ivy League) 20-11 Sunday afternoon. Virginia held down the gas pedal offensively all game, earning them a much deserved bounce-back win after Friday’s overtime defeat to North Carolina.

This year, The Cavalier Daily Editorial Board endorses third-year College student Brookelyn Mitchell for Student Council Vice President of Administration, third-year College and Commerce student Ryan Bowers for Student Council Vice President of Organizations and third-year College student Valentina Mendoza Gonzalez for Student Council President. Running together under The Voice Movement, their ticket is framed around the values of community, transparency and justice. While we have questions about the role Mendoza Gonzalez will play in a potential Voice Movement administration, the Editorial Board was exceptionally impressed by both Mitchell and Bowers and is confident in their ability to actualize tangible initiatives and bargain effectively with University administration to advance student interests. The Editorial Board believes that, collectively, this ticket will be able to uphold the mission of Student Council and appropriately represent the views of the student body.

Starting Feb. 26, University students will be voting on Referendum 1 which calls upon the University to submit to an audit of its investments and to subsequently divest from “companies engaging in or profiting from the State of Israel’s apartheid regime and acute violence against Palestinians.” The narrative surrounding this referendum has been exceptionally polarizing -– with U.Va. Apartheid Divest using the slogan “Divest from Death.” This seems to imply that we either vote yes, or we must support the deaths of almost 30,000 Palestinians. We can, and should, be outraged by what is happening in Gaza, and we can, and should, be calling for Israel to be held accountable for their war crimes. But the referendum’s simplifications do not do justice to the incredibly complicated nature of this conflict or allow for the possibility of a mutual solution — divestment is a tool for abolition, not a constructive solution.

The University has a rich tradition of student activism, dating back to thousands of University students fervently opposing the Vietnam War in the 1970s. It was a direct result of this activism that University President Edgar Shannon signed onto an anti-war letter to Virginia senators which condemned the United States’ invasion. In 1990, after around a decade of campaigning, student activists successfully pushed for the University to divest from companies doing business in apartheid South Africa. More recently, in 2006, the University approved a resolution prohibiting any future direct investments in companies conducting business in Sudan due to the genocide in Darfur. We honor the legacy of past students by demanding transparency and subsequent divestment from any companies found profiting from human rights violations and death.

Virginia women’s basketball traveled to the KFC Yum! Center Sunday afternoon to take on Louisville. The Cavaliers (14-13, 6-10 ACC) hadn’t won a game against the No. 20 Cardinals (22-6, 11-4 ACC) since 2016 — a losing streak totaling 10 games — and Louisville had won 56 straight home games against unranked ACC opponents — a streak dating back to 2014. Virginia was able to snap both of those streaks in an impressive 73-68 victory that featured a sizable fourth-quarter comeback.

After Monday’s embarrassing loss to Virginia Tech, the Cavaliers (20-8, 11-6 ACC) welcomed perhaps their toughest challenge of the season, the North Carolina Tar Heels (21-6, 13-3 ACC), into the confines of John Paul Jones Arena Saturday. Coach Tony Bennett opted for the lineup he has put out on the court the last several games, featuring senior guard Reece Beekman and graduate forward Jordan Minor as well as three sophomore guards in Isaac McKneely, Andrew Rohde and Ryan Dunn. Despite an impressive defensive showing from the Cavaliers, a physical matchup all afternoon resulted in a 54-44 defeat.

After a close loss to North Carolina saw momentum on the upswing, the Virginia wrestling team hoped to capitalize and secure a win in its final regular season match of the year Friday against Pittsburgh. However, that hopefulness was stunted early on in a 35-7 defeat as the Cavaliers (7-6, 1-4 ACC) were forced to forfeit the opening 125-lbs weight class to the No. 23 Panthers (10-9, 2-3 ACC) due to health injuries that prohibited sophomores Kyle Montaperto and Sammie Hayes from competing. The theme of injuries has been prevalent for Virginia all season, and it held them back from reaching their full potential in this match.

The Virginia swim and dive team traveled to Greensboro, N.C., for the ACC Championships last week, where dominant performances across nearly every event handed the Virginia women their 20th ACC title.
