The title of NCAA Woman of the Year is coveted by all female student-athletes, but only a select few ever receive the honor. With hundreds of candidates vying for a spot among the nine finalists, it is nearly impossible to even garner a nomination, let alone win. Yet, in October 1998, Class of 1999 alumna Peggy Williams won it outright. Even more impressive? She did so while playing not just one but two varsity sports.

Just last week, Virginia women’s tennis became the No. 1 team in the nation, an achievement never before earned in program history. To some, this surge to the top may seem sudden, even unexpected, but for this program, it has been years in the making.

After a difficult road loss Friday to No. 15 Duke, No. 5 Virginia returned to action against North Carolina ready to right the ship and return to its winning ways.

As the spring equinox approaches, most winter sports programs are in the final stages of their respective seasons. The 2024-25 season has been a mixed bag, with the high of an ACC Championship in the pool and the low of disappointing defeats on the hardwood.

Charlottesville is unique for a few reasons. Obviously, it is the home of the University and Monticello. But there is another reason — one that may be unknown to most. The city is home to the original amateur female arm wrestling group.

This fall, Virginia rowing earned a second-place finish in the collegiate four at the Head of the Charles. However, the bigger story had both nothing — and everything — to do with the race itself. As Virginia rowing embarks on its 2025 season, there is a Kevin Sauer-sized hole in the program’s heart. The former leader of the program spent 29 seasons in Charlottesville before retiring in June.

As the great Vince Lombardi once said, winning is not a “sometimes” thing. Winning is an “all the time” thing. Clearly, the No. 1 ranked Virginia women’s swimming and diving team takes that message to heart. At the ACC Swimming and Diving Championships this weekend in Greensboro, N.C., the Cavaliers proved why they are the nation’s very best.

After a dominant win Sunday over American, Virginia wrestling got a small break before Friday’s home match against No. 18 Pittsburgh. It was senior night, and the Cavaliers (6-6, 1-5 ACC) honored many in their ranks.

Before No. 10 Virginia’s trip to the Moon Golf Invitational, no more than two Cavaliers in any one tournament this year had finished outside the top 40. From Sunday to Tuesday in Melbourne, Fla., the highest finish among any of the team’s five golfers was 40th. It was a tough three days for the Cavaliers. Virginia finished with a 28-over 892, almost its worst score this year, placing 12th out of 17 teams and winding up as the second-lowest finisher among the 11 teams ranked in the top 30.

Virginia fans showed out in force. Through 40 minutes of play against one of the three best teams in college basketball, the student section stayed loud and on its feet, as the Cavaliers (13-13, 6-9 ACC) put in a ferocious, but ultimately fruitless, effort against the dreadnought that is No. 3 Duke.

Coach Tony Elliott and company entered Blacksburg’s Lane Stadium on a cold November night, the fate of Virginia’s season resting upon the three hours of football about to take place. Virginia, 5-6, arrived in the midst of a free fall after a blazing 4-1 start. Luckily, Elliott looked across the sideline at a Virginia Tech team with the same record. Even more, the Hokies were now reduced to a freshman quarterback making his first career start. A Cavalier win, which seemed eminently feasible, would mean a return to postseason play, the program’s first bowl appearance since 2019.
