When I think of playing a game, a traditional board game like Clue or Monopoly comes to mind — ones that I grew up playing with my family. While I am a huge proponent of these classic choices, games are definitely not my first idea of how to spend a lively night with my college friends. Therefore, when my friend suggested hosting a game night, I was expecting to see the table full with those same games I grew up with, making for a relatively lackluster night.

After a 32-4 blowout in its first ACC match of the season, Virginia took a long trip out to Palo Alto, Calif., to play No. 16 Stanford. The Cardinal (7-2, 1-1 ACC), in all but three classes, boasted a ranked wrestler.

With three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter Sunday, Virginia had clawed back. After trailing throughout the entire game against Louisville — often by double digits — the Cavaliers cut their deficit to just three points, and had possession of the basketball.

The baseball field at Justice High School in Falls Church, Va. is special for a couple reasons. For one, it is a turf field, which is not common among high school baseball fields.

No. 1 Virginia and No. 2 Texas have been the top programs in women’s swimming and diving for the past few years.

In the 2023 NCAA Championships, the same placement occurred — Virginia took the top spot with Texas right behind. It happened again in 2022. It would have happened in 2021 too, but the Longhorns finished third. Still, these teams are seemingly always facing off in must-watch meets.
