For the fourth time in its history, No. 4 Virginia women’s tennis made it to the ACC Championship match, defeating No. 28 Notre Dame and No. 23 Florida State en route to its finals appearance. Unfortunately, the two-seed Cavaliers (22-4, 12-1 ACC) could not overcome the one-seeded No. 5 North Carolina team that defeated them earlier this month. The Cavaliers, who shared the regular-season title with the Tar Heels (22-3, 12-1 ACC) with a 12-1 conference record, bested both the seven-seed Fighting Irish (17-9, 7-6 ACC) and the three-seed Seminoles (16-8, 9-4 ACC) 4-0 but were outcompeted by North Carolina, falling 1-4.

As viewers settled in their seats at the Ruth Caplin Theatre, the hall lights dimmed, leaving a single spotlight on a group of dancers on stage. A moment of stillness blanketed the theater, and then the ensemble began to move. Using smooth, graceful motions, the group danced initially in silence. The quiet was broken up only by intermittent words and phrases uttered by the dancers in a manner reminiscent of dialogue in a play. This dance, titled “Here is Sanctuary,” was the opening performance of the Spring Dance Concert, presented by the University Department of Drama’s dance program.

But in the honeymoon phase, you may run into a problem — wondering the right time to say “I love you.”

Tucked away on Avon Street lies a hidden gem that invites the curious. Barbie’s Burrito Barn, a quaint and cozy eatery, serves up mouthwateringly authentic California Mexican food. Barbie’s is only a short 10-minute drive from Grounds and is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Tuesdays to Thursdays and until 7 p.m. Fridays. Barbie’s stands out as a restaurant with fare that is scrumptious yet affordable for college students on a budget. Dining there this past Tuesday emerged as the highlight of my week, leaving me thoroughly impressed and eager to return.
