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.

Last month at the 2024 NCAA Championship, the Virginia women’s swimming and diving team secured its fourth straight national title — that achievement only extended the dynasty the program has been building for years. While they aren’t alone in winning four consecutive championships — Texas and Stanford won five straight titles in 1988 and 1996, respectively — Virginia may soon join those ranks in 2025. Made possible by top-notch recruiting, the program remains at the top of the sport despite constant key losses in personnel.
