With five consecutive NCAA Championship wins on the women’s side and the nation’s top recruiting class for the men, it is evident that Virginia swimming has thrived off of the program’s signature high-energy, intense style of Coach Todd DeSorbo. But DeSorbo is not alone. Another coach has been with the Cavaliers for the entirety of DeSorbo’s tenure — Tyler Fenwick.
Virginia swimming fans may have noticed that the Cavaliers only fielded 35 out of the 50 swimmers listed on their 2025-2026 roster in their first meet of the season. Were these absences due to a freak accident in the new Olympic weight room? A team-wide stomach bug, perhaps?
For top individual players and doubles pairings alike, a major goal in fall collegiate tennis is to earn qualification to the NCAA Singles and Doubles Tournament in late November. Qualification is earned — or won — at a trio of Intercollegiate Tennis Association tournaments throughout the fall.
No. 3 Virginia Field Hockey has become the team circled on each opponent's schedule. Beginning the season 6-0, the squad has emerged as a real national championship contender — and everyone they play knows this. This leads to intense game planning and strategy, trying to exploit the team's few weaknesses. California was no exception — the Golden Bears (3-5, 0-3 ACC) attempted to ambush the travel-ridden Cavaliers (7-0, 3-0, ACC) off the jump. Virginia ultimately remained poised and ready despite facing multiple deficits, clawing out a 3-2 victory on the road at Underhill Field.
Virginia Athletics lost $50,000 yesterday. But no one is really complaining.
Not all wins are created equal. AP No. 24 Virginia’s dominating defeats of Coastal Carolina, William & Mary and Stanford to open the season, which they won by an average of 36 points, were smooth, almost seamless. The offense glided down the field, the defense stalled drives on a whim. Those wins were impressive, but Friday’s victory was a different animal altogether.
The plan this season is to keep star junior guard Kymora Johnson airborne less often, but she closed the first pre-practice huddle of the fall with a flying chest bump. After averaging nearly 37 minutes per game last season, Virginia’s All-ACC guard finally has reinforcements within the Cavalier ranks.

When soccer players enter college and stare down the barrel of a compressed two-week preseason, it can be a struggle to acclimate quickly and make an early impact. But, for men’s soccer’s freshman forward Nicholas Simmonds, that was not the case.
Sophomore hurdler Maya Rollins, a native of Ann Arbor, Mich., is a do-it-all student-athlete.
No. 3 Virginia field hockey finally received a reprieve from their gauntlet of a schedule Sunday, playing its first unranked opponent after three straight ranked matchups to start the year. James Madison (4-3, 0-0, MAC) came to Charlottesville to face the undefeated Cavaliers (4-0, 0-0, ACC) and try to upset the powerhouse on their own field. Though the stats showed a dominant 4-1 victory for Virginia, with the Dukes being outshot by a whopping 20-5, the game was much closer. Until a late scoring avalanche from the Cavaliers in the fourth quarter, the margin was razor thin between the two squads.
“Nothing great is accomplished alone,” Athletic Director Carla Williams said.
Roy Horovitz spent most of his freshman season dying to play.
Uncertainty has been a key theme for Virginia volleyball as it pushed through the preseason. With its typical playing facility under renovation, five starters graduating after last season and three transfers entering the scene, Cavalier fans have sat wondering about the 2025 season despite last year’s history-making run to the National Invitational Volleyball Championship.
Graduate wide receiver Cam Ross “has the sauce,” according to graduate running back J’Mari Taylor.
A quarter-century of NCAA women’s volleyball has passed since Virginia last made an appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

Acclimating to college soccer is a difficult task, especially within the ACC, the best conference in the nation. Freshman forward Addison Halpern is going through that struggle right now.
With great resources come great expectations. That has been the most relevant theme for Virginia football over the past few years.
As a whole, linebackers on the 2024 Virginia football team accounted for two of the team’s top three leaders in tackles, as well as two of the top five in tackles for loss. Fortunately, all of the unit’s contributors are back for 2025 and will play a pivotal role in turning around a defense that finished in the bottom five in the ACC last season in yards and points per game allowed.
