Now there is a new front-runner for my heart and stomach, and it’s Pico Wrap.

Coming off of a 68-58 win against Louisville, the No. 16 Virginia men’s basketball team secured the ACC regular season title. Clinching the championship as well as the top seed in the upcoming conference tournament was made possible following Florida State’s loss to Notre Dame.
In the spring of 2019, then-sophomore swimmer Paige Madden was all set to compete in the World University Games in July, having finished the season with an ACC Championship in the 800-meter freestyle relay, All-America honors across five events and a second place finish in the 500-meter freestyle at the NCAA Championship.

Virginia men’s squash kicked-off their 2021 season with a sweep of Navy this past weekend winning Saturday’s contest 6-3 and Sunday’s 9-0 at the Boar’s Head McArthur Squash Center in Charlottesville.

Virginia fans experienced a plethora of emotions throughout the course of this week while watching their beloved Cavaliers, as there were both extreme highs and lows. To start with the good news, women’s swim and dive won the ACC Championship for the third time in four years. In addition, the women’s lacrosse team started off its season with two wins, and the men’s lacrosse team stayed undefeated as well. Women’s golf finished third in its invitational, and baseball opened its season with a 2-1 series against Connecticut. Unfortunately, not every team was this great. Men’s basketball suffered two painful losses, and softball kicked off the season going just 1-2 in a round-robin in Durham, N.C. Let’s take a look at five takeaways from the week of Feb. 15.
Virginia kicked off ACC play with a dominant win over Boston College Friday at the Weymouth Club in Weymouth, Mass. The Cavaliers (7-2, 1-0 ACC) captured the doubles point easily before sweeping the singles matches, handing the Eagles (0-1, 0-1 ACC) a loss in their season opener.
No. 7 Virginia traveled to Champaign, Ill. over the weekend to compete in the ITA Division 1 National Team Indoor Championship. The Cavaliers (6-2, 0-0 ACC) topped No. 3 TCU 4-3 Friday to advance to the semifinals, but then dropped their first match of the season Saturday against No. 2 North Carolina 4-2 and finished the tournament Sunday with a loss to host Illinois in a consolation match.
Leading the way behind all of Virginia’s spring sports are some of the most lovable coaches. Let’s take a look at one reason to love each of them — though we all know there’s more than just one.
Whether it be to picnic with one another, play pick-up sports games or just sit and chat, the fields outside of the Observatory Hill Dining Hall have historically been a place for first years to congregate. For many, the activity of choice on those fields is spikeball.
When you think about the most successful women’s lacrosse programs of all time, it is hard not to immediately think of Virginia. Nine NCAA Championship appearances, three tournament championships and five ACC Championships highlights the huge successes of the program. What Coach Julie Myers has done with the program after taking the reins from Jane Miller in 1996 has been nothing short of remarkable. In each of the 24 seasons with a postseason, Myers has guided her team to the NCAA Tournament where they earned 31 tournament wins — good for third all-time in tournament victories and games coached.
No. 7 Virginia defeated No. 14 Wake Forest on Saturday in the first of two meetings between the two teams this season. The Cavaliers (5-0, 0-0 ACC) lost the doubles point to the Demon Deacons (3-2, 0-0 ACC) but rallied to earn the victory with strong performances on the singles courts. For the second match in a row, Virginia had to rely on the singles matches to earn a come-from-behind victory after dropping the doubles point. This contest was designated as a non-conference match between the two ACC teams, with the rematch in Winston-Salem later in February designated as the ACC match.
No. 3 Virginia men’s lacrosse has another legitimate shot at defending its national title after its 2020 season was cut short due to the pandemic. The Cavaliers hope to build upon some of their 2020 success this year and ultimately find themselves leaving the spring season with some more hardware. With an abundance of key pieces returning to the program — and the addition of a few new impact players — the 2021 Cavaliers have high hopes of keeping the ACC Championship in their hands and bringing another national championship trophy to Charlottesville.
