For 56 minutes and 16 seconds of the ACC Championship game Sunday, Virginia kept SMU’s offense in check. In that time period, the match in Cary, N.C. was a back-and-forth affair. It was evident that the game would come down to the final minutes — a situation Coach George Gelnovatch was fine with.
The University’s two Juice Laundry locations — one in Newcomb Hall and one in the Athletic and Fitness Center — announced Sept. 29 that they would be closing Oct. 3, leaving students with little notice about their departure. Reactions to the announcement among students were mixed, with some disappointed at the loss of a nutritious option that was part of the U.Va. Dine plan, while others felt indifferent given the menu’s relatively high prices.
Friday did not yield the ideal result for the Cavaliers out at Panorama Farms for the NCAA Southeast Regional. Despite coming into the race ranked first in the region, the men failed to automatically qualify for NCAA Championships as a team –– finishing in third as a whole. The women, too, did not automatically qualify as a team, coming in at fourth.
Saturday’s second quarter had almost concluded — one minute and 45 seconds remained. And just like so many times the week prior, Virginia was knocking on the door of a touchdown. But unlike the preceding contest against Wake Forest, the Cavaliers (9-2, 6-1 ACC) refused to be turned away.
This season, Virginia has precariously danced through close games. Being dubbed as the “Cardiac Cavaliers” for playing in six one-possession games, this is a team that wanted to avoid tight contests. Too often, the defense would dominate while the offense stalled out, or vice versa. In short, the Cavaliers have been playing with fire, mere inches from being burned.
On New Year’s Eve in 2018, the John Paul Jones Arena scoreboard rolled from 97 to 100. The crowd lost its mind after student manager Grant Kersey made an iconic buzzer-beating three, putting the finishing touch on No. 4 Virginia’s 100-64 demolition of Marshall. The scoring burst was a rare detour for Coach Tony Bennett’s defense-first Cavaliers en route to the 2019 national title.
The Faculty Senate met Friday to pass a resolution which requested that the University pause the ongoing search for the tenth president until all seats on the Board of Visitors are filled. The same resolution also called for Board Rector Rachel Sheridan and Vice Rector Porter Wilkinson to resign. Senators also heard from interim University President Paul Mahoney, who discussed the University’s Oct. 22 agreement with the Justice Department.
No. 1 seed Virginia (13-3-4, 6-2-2 ACC) opened the NCAA Tournament with a dominating 5-0 win over High Point (5-10-5, 3-3-2) Friday night at Klöckner Stadium. Virginia overwhelmed the Panthers from start to finish and secured a spot in next week’s second round.
Virginia field hockey’s season came to an end Friday, as it was unable to overcome Miami of Ohio in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Cavaliers (16-2, 7-1, ACC) earned the No. 4 seed in the tournament and were runners up in the ACC Tournament, while the Redhawks (16-4, 8-1, MAC) entered as MAC champions with momentum squarely on their side.
The NCAA Individual Championships, starting Tuesday and going until Nov. 23 in Orlando, Fla., cap the individual-focused fall season in collegiate tennis. Across Division I, players spend the fall navigating a gauntlet of ITA events in hopes of claiming one of just 64 singles or 32 doubles spots in the draw.
After Virginia tennis players participated in three ITA events throughout the fall to earn NCAA Individual Championship qualification, the stage is now set. Three singles players and a doubles pairing will travel to Orlando, Fla., for the tournament, held Nov. 18-23.
No. 12 seed California had not surrendered a goal in over 350 minutes of play. They had faced 13 successive shots on goal and repelled all of them. Their shutout streak had enveloped a Stanford team ranked No. 7 nationally, as well as highly seeded Duke and Pittsburgh in the early rounds of the ACC Tournament. At No. 12, they were the lowest-seeded team to ever make an ACC Tournament semifinal.
Nearly eight years after the Retrievers delivered the most stunning upset in men’s NCAA Tournament history, UMBC (2-1, 0-0 America East) came to John Paul Jones Arena, however, this time on the women’s side.
Singers, students and community members gathered in the Vinegar Hill Theatre auditorium Wednesday evening to “Lift Every Voice and Sing” in remembrance of the three student athletes who were fatally shot Nov. 13, 2022 — Devin Chandler, D’Sean Perry and Lavel Davis Jr. The memorial concert lasted around 90 minutes and featured hip-hop, gospel and a cappella music from various Charlottesville community choirs, as well as the University’s own Black Voices Gospel Choir and student a cappella groups.
Former University President Jim Ryan and Board of Visitors Rector Rachel Sheridan have each provided, for the first time since Ryan’s resignation, full accounts of the circumstances which led to Ryan’s decision to step down.
As trees get haircuts and paint Grounds in hues of orange and red, the autumnal Georgian architecture may bring to mind another version thereof, one captured to no end on page and screen. Campuses in the fall and winter have produced some of the greatest pieces of realistic fiction to grace the modern oeuvre, but while Grounds is undeniable in its beauty at this time of year, there is no better source for inspiration than a New England boarding school.
As Virginia women’s soccer advances in its almost annual appearance in the NCAA Tournament, the team’s road to history will not be an easy one. After remaining undefeated for the first 12 games of the 2025 season, Virginia was unable to win the conference tournament. Stanford sent the Cavaliers packing in the ACC semifinals, allowing Coach Steve Swanson and his squad some time to regroup, train and fully prepare for the test that is to come.

Through three seasons of college basketball, senior center Ugonna Onyenso attempted one three-pointer, a late shot-clock heave in 2024 on a late January night in Fayetteville, Ark. — it bounced off the front of the rim. Onyenso was a sophomore at Kentucky at the time. Not until almost two years later, after arriving at Virginia, did he take another three.
