For last year’s Virginia men’s lacrosse team, going 0-4 in the ACC was a fate they had not experienced since Coach Lars Tiffany’s first season in 2017. With the days of back-to-back NCAA Championships in 2019 and 2021 now far in the rearview, after four bumpy losses, Virginia (5-4, 0-0 ACC) looks to claw back into conference contention — starting with Notre Dame (6-0, 0-0 ACC).

In a battle between two of college tennis’ premier programs, No. 1 Virginia saw its perfect ACC record come to an end on Sunday afternoon, falling 4-2 to No. 4 Wake Forest at the Wake Forest Tennis Center.

Throughout her three seasons at Virginia, junior guard Kymora Johnson has been the heartbeat behind the Cavaliers’ resurgence, dismantling ACC defenses with her signature step-backs and elite court vision.
Three wrestlers carried the remainder of the Virginia season, defined by conference losses and travel woes. The three were given the opportunity to redefine all of that — and that responsibility was entrusted to sophomore Gable Porter, graduate student Colton Washleski and freshman Brenan Morgan.
With 5:32 remaining in Friday’s Round of 64 opener in Philadelphia, Pa., Virginia was not playing like a three-seed.
By the end of day two at the Pauma Valley Invitational in the heart of Northern San Diego County, Calif., hosted by Loyola Marymount, No. 2 Virginia appeared headed for its first true clunker after an impressive and consistent rollout of performances — the Cavaliers have racked up top-2 finishes in five of six of their tournaments this season.
Virginia wrestling netted a trio of automatic qualifiers to the NCAA tournament at the ACC Championship meet in Blacksburg. Graduate student Colton Washleski headlined the team with the only podium finish, placing third at 157 pounds.

To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, we look back on some of the ways in which University students have commemorated the holiday over the years. There have been musical performances to bring cheer to hospital patients. There have been athletic pursuits in Limerick. There has been a tradition of green beverages. From St. Patrick’s Day parade spring break plans to advocating for the adoption of St. Patrick’s Day as a national holiday, the celebrations demonstrate the lasting impact of the holiday.
In the 2004-05 season, Coach Lars Tiffany began his career as a head coach at Stony Brook University, having come off a stretch as a Penn State assistant coach under Glenn Thiel — the college lacrosse legend who led Virginia to their first NCAA championship in 1972. Fast forward to Feb. 21, when Tiffany won his 100th game as head coach of the Cavaliers in a match against the Seawolves.
No. 10 Maryland held onto a commanding 11-8 lead over Virginia entering the fourth quarter — 15 minutes that have haunted the Cavaliers (3-4, 0-0 ACC) this season, as they had scored just a combined three fourth-quarter goals in their three losses up to this point.
For the first time since the 2017-18 season, Virginia women’s basketball will play in the NCAA Tournament. The Cavaliers’ eight-year drought was broken as they received a spot in the First Four with an opportunity to play for a No. 10 seed.
For rowing programs, the transition from February to March is both a change in weather and a shift in physics. Virginia women's rowing team has spent its winter months confined to the erg room, grinding through grueling indoor sessions where the only opponent is a digital monitor and one's own mental threshold.
The Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C. served as the host site for the 2026 T. Rowe Price ACC Tournament. Saturday, it might as well have served as Cameron Indoor Stadium, as supporters of No. 1 Duke created as hostile an environment as No. 10 Virginia has encountered all season. The intensity of the arena carried into the championship game between the ACC’s No. 1 and No. 2-seeds as the two exchanged blows, traded leads and took turns recording signature moments.
It will only have been 14 days since No. 10 Virginia last faced No. 1 Duke when they meet Saturday, ACC title on the line.
Before the 27 wins, the top-10 national ranking and the sellout crowds at John Paul Jones Arena, before any of the 2025-26 roster had played a single minute together in a Virginia uniform, Coach Ryan Odom handed each of his players a book.
