It's time to be real. I'm afraid I've been keeping a secret from you for a long time, and the moment to come forward has finally arrived. I’ve always advocated for honesty and transparency, so it’s only fair that I stick to these values for the sake of the students at this University and the readers of The Cavalier Daily.

Reeling after three consecutive losses to conclude the regular season, Virginia men’s lacrosse is entering the ACC Tournament void of momentum. It does not help that the Cavaliers will, again, be faced with No. 1 Notre Dame — whom Virginia lost to in the national semifinal in 2023 and failed to enact revenge upon Saturday, falling 11-9 in the regular-season finale.

After my big in my sorority and I spread the word about our dining experience at Oakhart Social last month, the rest of our “family” — including my cousin, grandbig and great-grandbig — wanted seats at the table, too. As we all sent suggestions in our group chat for somewhere that we could affordably dine, my great-grandbig suggested Thai Cuisine and Noodle House, citing the drunken noodles as the best she has ever had. The price point was almost as appealing as the food itself, with most options under $17 and the most expensive item we ordered costing just $13.50.

Virginia’s Friday semifinal matchup in the ACC Tournament was one to forget for the No. 6 Cavaliers (14-4, 6-3 ACC), who were thoroughly beaten by Syracuse (14-5, 8-1 ACC) by a 19-4 margin.
