The Virginia men’s lacrosse team will return to the postseason for the first time since 2015, landing a berth in the 2018 NCAA Tournament. This is a major landmark in Coach Lars Tiffany’s revitalization of the lacrosse program, as the Cavaliers have already made the leap back to the NCAA Tournament in Tiffany’s second year of coaching.
Kanye West made headlines last week for supporting President Donald Trump and his campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.” After a nearly year-long hiatus, the rapper returned to Twitter and rained down a series of tweets about a range of topics from creativity as currency, spreading love and following your own vision. His more politically-charged tweets gained him the most attention. Commentators debated about his mental health and others wrote it off as a publicity stunt for his forthcoming album. Fellow Chicago rapper, Chance the Rapper, also came under fire for defending Kanye on Twitter. The most striking aspect of this controversial episode was the endorsement by the president and others for Kanye. This reaction has been very different than what occurred in response to other celebrities who turned political. Trump’s reaction to both shows the double standard when it comes to celebrities’ speech. In all, celebrities are public figures, but they are also citizens of this country and should be encouraged to stand in their beliefs — regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum.
Alec Dougherty, Editor: This summer will be a crucial stretch for Virginia football as it tries to rework its offense and assimilate its new players into the fold. The team lost arguably their three most valuable players — and team captains — from the past two seasons in quarterback Kurt Benkert, inside linebacker Micah Kiser and free safety Quin Blanding. With a young defense and a new quarterback under certain, changes will be abundant for Coach Bronco Mendenhall’s schemes.
The Virginia men’s tennis team has faced a tough slew of defeats recently, winning only one out of the past seven matches. Part of the reason for such a dismal record was a back loaded schedule, in which the Cavaliers played some of the toughest teams in the nation on the road and No. 1 Wake Forest Demon Deacons (22-2, 11-1 ACC) at home. Virginia was recently able to pull out an upset victory over No. 22 North Carolina State (16-7, 6-6 ACC), but has been unable to put together any other victories since late March.
This year, the men’s lacrosse ACC Tournament returns to Charlottesville’s Klöckner Stadium for the first time in six years.
Virginia track and field hosted the seventh annual Virginia Challenge Friday and Saturday, taking first place in five events. The Cavaliers contested most, but not all, of the invitational’s 83 events.
Nearly six years ago, when men’s basketball star Devon Hall visited Grounds looking to commit to a program, he was also searching for something even more important than basketball — a family away from home.
The No. 12 Virginia men’s lacrosse team is set to face No. 5 Duke Saturday at Klöckner Stadium in a matchup of two college lacrosse powers, with conference and postseason implications in play.
The Roundtable: Which spring sports teams are poised for success?
Junior midfielder Maggie Jackson of the Virginia women's lacrosse team has provided major contributions to the team’s impressive 8-4 start to the season, but she is certainly not jumping to take the credit.
In University Hall, there's a space known as “The Cage.” It's been there for years, and the worn down appearance of it certainly doesn't hide that fact. It gets cold in the winter, and stifling hot in the warmer days. There's nothing fancy about the gritty space, and it’s not exactly where you would expect one of the most successful Division I programs to train. But, before most people are awake, that's where the Virginia rowing team can be found as rowers set up their ergs and roll out a large speaker, getting ready for their first grueling workout of the day.
The No. 25 Virginia women’s golf team finished third in the LSU Tiger Classic, a three-day tournament that took place at The University Club in Baton Rouge, La. No. 48 LSU, playing on its home course, won the tournament while No. 26 Houston placed second. NC State finished in a tie for third place with Virginia.
Last Sunday, the Virginia men’s tennis team achieved their first victory over a ranked team this season. The Cavaliers (9-5, 2-1 ACC) defeated the then-No.18 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (10-8, 2-1 ACC) in a 6-1 blowout that included impressive wins on courts that the Cavaliers normally lose. Virginia began the match by beating the highly esteemed Notre Dame doubles lineup, with junior Aswin Lizen and freshman Gianni Ross teaming up to take down the #55 ranked Fighting Irish team of freshman Tristan McCormick and senior Brendon Kempin on the No.1 Court. Both Lizen and Ross would go on to win their matches on the No. 3 and No. 2 courts respectively, with Ross dispatching Notre Dame’s freshman Richard Clamarra at a breakneck speed.
For most of the season, Virginia found itself on the good side of making history. However, in the NCAA Tournament, that wasn't the case, as the Cavaliers (31-3) became the first No. 1 seed in tournament history to lose in the Round of 64 when No. 16-seeded UMBC pulled off a stunning upset.
Even though just a few days ago the Virginia women’s basketball team wasn’t sure it would get a chance to play in the NCAA Tournament, the No. 10-seeded Cavaliers (19-13) showed they deserved to be there by upsetting No. 7-seeded California with a score of 68-62 in the first round.
Virginia men’s basketball was unanimously voted the best team in the country in the latest AP Poll, a position they have held for the last month. They have undoubtedly the most impressive season in college basketball — the selection committee named them the number one overall seed for a reason. Yet, there still seems to be lingering doubt about their ability to win in March.
With the Cavaliers ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press Poll and claiming their third tournament title in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship this past Saturday, ‘Hoo Crew, the University's student-run fan group, has a lot to be excited about for this March’s madness.
No. 1 Virginia’s difficult road ahead in the NCAA Tournament just got that much more challenging, as they’ll have to vie for the national championship without redshirt freshman guard De’Andre Hunter.
Jake Blank: While higher seeded teams such as Arizona and Kentucky are loaded with dangerous players, I wouldn’t overlook junior Creighton guard Khyri Thomas, who Virginia could face in the second round. Thomas has worked his way onto NBA draft boards this spring behind his all around play. Thomas’ silky smooth shot could help Creighton overcome the Cavaliers’ pack line defense, and his talents on the other end have led to back to back Big East defensive player of the year awards.
For the first time since 2010, the Virginia women’s basketball team will appear in the NCAA Tournament. This is also the first time that the Cavaliers (18-3, 10-6 ACC) have been selected for the NCAA Tournament under Coach Joanne Boyle.
