Although the Cavaliers (2-1, 0-1 ACC) initially went up 3-0 over the visitors, the Cardinal (4-0, 1-0 ACC) came storming back to take the match by a 13-7 margin. A stifling second half prevented Virginia from gaining any momentum, ultimately allowing the visitors to come out victorious.

After a dominant win Sunday over American, Virginia wrestling got a small break before Friday’s home match against No. 18 Pittsburgh.

No. 2 Virginia women’s tennis came out strong Friday in its ACC opener, securing a dominant 4-0 win over No. 19 Clemson at the Boar’s Head Sports Club in Charlottesville.

California entered the fourth quarter ahead by just one point. Neither team could get ahead — Virginia would lead by one point, just for the Golden Bears (22-6, 10-5 ACC) to tie it back up a few seconds later.

And as of today, the 2025 campaign for Eaton has been her best season to date — and the Cavaliers have benefited substantially.

The No. 12 Cavaliers (2-1, 0-0 ACC) sought to redeem themselves after Saturday's hard defeat to Richmond — and while the Panthers (2-2, 0-0 Big South) showed flashes of resistance, Virginia's offensive firepower ultimately proved too much to handle.
Virginia fans showed out in force. Through 40 minutes of play against one of the three best teams in college basketball, the student section stayed loud and on its feet, as the Cavaliers (13-13, 6-9 ACC) put in a ferocious, but ultimately fruitless, effort against the dreadnought that is No. 3 Duke.
