Virginia will head down to Winston-Salem, N.C. on Sunday to play the South Region No. 1 seed Wake Forest in the first round of the ACC Tournament. The Cavaliers (2-3-1, 2-3-1 ACC) come into the tournament as the No. 4 seed from the North Region and will aim to repeat as ACC champions by first taking down the No. 1 seed Demon Deacons (5-1, 7-1 ACC).
Virginia men’s basketball has been unique within the landscape of dominant college basketball programs in the past decade. The Cavaliers are contrarians in their playing style — which favors defensive intensity and a slow pace — and in their lack of reliance on superstardom to fuel their success. Thus, as the world of college basketball prepares for a dramatic shake-up following the resurgence of prep-to-pro recruits — players who jump directly from high school to professional basketball — Virginia finds itself positioned better than the rest of its competition.
With the start of the 2020-21 men’s basketball season just weeks away, the team held a virtual media day Monday to take questions about the much-anticipated start.
From the Black Lives Matter movement to kneeling during the national anthem to protests over the gender wage gap, it’d be easy to label this era as a time when sports and politics are more interwoven than ever. This theory is supported by players, teams and now even the president rejecting ceremonial White House trips, controversy regarding players and owners commenting on foreign affairs, and teams choosing to stage walkouts during important games. However, it is an idea that Bonnie Hagerman, assistant professor of women, gender and sexuality, rejects.
Virginia cross-country completed its regular season after competing at the 2020 ACC Championships Friday at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C. The men’s team placed fourth with 92 points while the women’s team placed seventh with 205 points.
Virginia men’s and women’s swimming and diving enter the fall season with high expectations. According to the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America’s Division I preseason poll, the Virginia women are the top-ranked team in the country while the men are ranked 13th nationally. The Cavaliers delivered on those expectations in their first dual meet of the fall Saturday with a sweep of Navy at Lejeune Hall in Annapolis, Md.
Following Virginia field hockey’s recent losses to North Carolina and Louisville, the team travels to Durham, N.C. to face Duke, who are coming off of its first win of this shortened season — a 2-0 victory over Wake Forest on Sunday.
To many fans, Virginia sports are a lot like a fall treat — amazing, addicting and comforting. But what if Virginia sports actually were those treats? In the spirit of fall, let’s take a look at what that might look like.
When looking at a list of Virginia men’s soccer greats, there is no doubt that former striker Daryl Dike ranks high. After leading Virginia men’s soccer to an ACC title and national championship appearance in 2019, the Edmond, Okla. native left Virginia in order to play professionally, forgoing his final two years of college eligibility. Dike’s accolades for the Cavaliers — including being named most outstanding offensive player in the 2019 NCAA tournament — helped him get drafted fifth overall in the 2020 MLS Superdraft by Orlando City SC.
After the unprecedented cancelation of the 2020 NCAA men's basketball tournaments — commonly known as March Madness — due to the COVID-19 pandemic, fans were left with heartbreak. Little by little, millions of sports fans’ hearts have been filled again with the return of nearly every other major sport. That is, besides college basketball, which is slated to officially return Nov. 25. While the details of the Cavaliers’ season opener remain unknown, here are 10 things that all Virginia men's basketball fans should be looking forward to for the 2020-21 season.
Following last week’s Wolfpack Invite, the Virginia men’s and women’s cross country teams returned to Panorama Farms to compete at the Virginia/Panorama Farms Invitational in their third meet of the season. The Cavaliers faced off against Duke and Virginia Tech, with the men’s team placing first once again — its third first-place win of the season — and the women’s team securing second place.
In spite of being on a hot streak and ripping off three straight wins, including a 3-2 overtime thriller against Syracuse, the Virginia field hockey team hit a wall in this weekend's matchups against North Carolina.
Freshman striker Lilly Hengerer and freshmen midfielder Meghen Hengerer — twins from Bedminster, N.J. — were two of Virginia’s most impressive recruits in its latest freshmen class. They’ve already made their presence known on the team — both have played in all six games so far and Meghen even assisted another teammate in scoring a goal against a defending national champion North Carolina team.
Virginia football traveled to Clemson for its first road game of the season, falling 41-23. The Cavaliers (1-1, 1-1 ACC), showed flashes of promise throughout the game, but the consistency and talent on the Tigers (3-0, 2-0 ACC) proved to be too much.
Like most kids in my hometown, I started out playing sports when I was around four years old. I began with soccer, then dance, then basketball, volleyball, tennis and my most recent addition, golf. Simply put, sports have been a constant in my life, and since the age of four, I have not gone through a single year without being on a team. Of course, that was before coronavirus.
Following a 38-20 victory over ACC Coastal rival Duke, Virginia football gears up for what is conceivably its toughest game of the season against No. 1 Clemson. The Cavaliers (1-0, 1-0 ACC) have dropped four straight contests to the Tigers (2-0, 1-0 ACC) and will certainly have to bring their A-game if they want to topple a Clemson squad that has won two national championships in the last four seasons.
With a storied history and a claim to eight national titles, the Virginia men’s lacrosse program is no stranger to success. In recent years, the Cavaliers have maintained their place as one of the nation’s elite, capturing a championship in 2011 and most recently in 2019. How — in the uber-competitive ACC while also competing against bona-fide programs such as Johns Hopkins and Maryland — have the Cavaliers sustained their dominance year in and year out? In Charlottesville, the allure of past triumphs has led to the recruitment of unbelievably talented players from all across the country.
The 2019 Virginia field hockey season was a major improvement from the previous year, but one that still ended in heartbreak after a loss in the NCAA semifinals to Princeton. With many top offensive and defensive players returning this year — including three preseason All-ACC team members — the 2020 Cavaliers look prepared to have a strong season in the face of a conference-only schedule. In the preseason ACC poll, the Cavaliers were predicted to finish second behind reigning NCAA champion North Carolina.
After months of uncertainty, Virginia men’s soccer can finally set their sights on a fall season. The ACC announced the layout for the abbreviated season Friday — each school will play six conference games in addition to two exhibition matches prior to a modified eight-team conference tournament.
Virginia enters the 2020 season with considerable questions — not so much about the team itself, but the entirety of the collegiate soccer landscape. As the ACC intends to play sports this fall, the Cavaliers look to improve upon a disappointing second-round exit from last year’s College Cup. Although the NCAA has postponed the NCAA Tournament until the spring, Virginia looks forward to ACC action and competing for the conference title.
