Seventeen-year-old country singer Mason Ramsey brought his “Falls Into Place Tour” to the Jefferson Theater on Saturday evening, playing for a sold-out audience.

His Saturday set showcased this evolution with a combination of crowd-pleasing covers and originals — and just the right amount of yodeling.

When I ended my multi-year long situationship in December, I did not know what to expect. Part of me thought that it wasn't really over and we would find each other again. But as the weeks passed, it started to sink in that for the first time in several years, I was truly single and alone — no school break flings or talking stages to jump into. I can't say that I am totally happy being single, or that I never feel disconnected from my happily coupled up friends, but this breakup has taught me to focus on the relationships that matter most to me now.

After a tough week for Virginia softball — the Cavaliers (17-9, 5-4 ACC) lost their series against North Carolina last weekend and faltered against Maryland on Tuesday — fans gathered at Palmer Park this weekend in hopes that the team wasn't losing its momentum as they faced Syracuse. They were not disappointed, as Virginia was able to come back from a tough loss on Friday and win the last two games of its home series against the Orange (13-11, 1-5 ACC).

Virginia women’s lacrosse faced Pittsburgh in an ACC clash on a bright and sunny Saturday afternoon in Klöckner Stadium.

The hosts did just that, as the attacking power of Virginia was enough to sufficiently overwhelm Pittsburgh by the third period, with the Cavaliers taking home a 19-10 conference win.

After the murder of Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D’Sean Perry last year, Governor Glenn Youngkin made a visit to Grounds, honoring the lives lost in a powerful demonstration of empathy. As students who lived through this violence, we wondered what would be done to prevent such tragedies in the future. Now, however, Youngkin seems to have forgotten the suffering of this community and the empathy he expressed for it — he recently refused to sign two bills promoting gun safety. And in doing so, he has brutally reminded us that nice words are no substitute for tangible action. This Editorial Board, simply put, is disappointed about Youngkin’s dangerous decision to block critical steps towards ending the epidemic of senseless gun violence in Virginia.

The Cavaliers took on two ACC foes — Boston College and NC State — Thursday and Friday respectively in the conference tournament. While both matchups were sent into overtime, Virginia was only able to capitalize on the extra minutes once, emerging victorious against the Golden Eagles but coming up short against the Wolfpack. Marked by embarrassing levels of free-throw shooting, one win and one loss in Washington, D.C. placed Virginia in a precarious position heading into Selection Sunday.

In the hallowed halls of academia lies a sacred sanctuary once cursed with a name students feared to utter. Now, after battles between beneficiaries, the spell has lifted and the educational establishment has been blessed with the name Shannon Library.

But what happens when the grandeur promised by legends falls short? What happens when high expectations crash to displeasure and dissatisfaction? Join me, fellow traveler, on a whimsical odyssey through the Shannon Library, where anticipation turns to befuddlement, as we walk through the disappointment of the newly renovated and renamed University library.

Fairly new to the Charlottesville band scene, the only all-girl band at the University — according to Emma Gorman, drummer and fourth-year College student — consists of four members who are united by their love of indie pop/rock, performing and the University’s music scene.
