Whenever football season rolls around, a majority of Virginia students seem to neglect the successes of other Cavaliers sports teams. This year, one particularly successful team is being overshadowed by the beginning of the Mendenhall era — women’s soccer.
The Virginia men’s soccer team returned home to Charlottesville this week after a two-game road trip, where they played in-state rival James Madison and ACC powerhouse No. 21 Wake Forest. After defeating the Dukes (0-4-1, 0-0-1 CAA) 3-1, the Cavaliers (2-1-1, 0-1 ACC) lost to the Demon Deacons (4-1-0, 1-0 ACC) on an overtime goal by a score of 0-1.

Have you ever thought about how impressive Virginia athletics are?
After a long offseason, the No. 17 Virginia men’s soccer team is back, with their season set to kick off this Friday night against No. 21 Coastal Carolina.
As a D.C. native, rooting for a losing team is something I’m used to. Since I really started following Washington sports in middle school, the Redskins have lost five out of their last seven seasons; the Wizards have only had two seasons with winning percentages above .500; and the Nationals and Capitals both consistently fail to perform during the post-season despite stellar regular season play year after year.
High expectations breed high pressure, but there was something calming in coach Steve Swanson’s voice as he looked forward on the coming season. His tone and manner neither exuded arrogance nor placed pressure on his team.
One of the most recognizable names in Major League Soccer, Bruce Arena led Virginia to five National Championships in the late eighties and early nineties.
The Virginia men’s soccer program is universally regarded as one of the greatest Division I soccer programs in the history of college athletics. With seven NCAA titles synonymous to the program and 34 consecutive NCCA Tournament appearances on its resume, the program has unsurprisingly launched many professional careers of both the players and coaches that have graced the Cavalier orange and blue. Currently, several former Cavaliers compete in the professional ranks experiencing success, whether in Major League Soccer or other leagues such as the North American Soccer League.

Starting Aug. 5 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 18 individuals with ties to Virginia – 16 athletes and two coaches – will represent seven different countries in the 2016 Summer Olympics. Here are some highlights of a group of standouts:

Coming into the NCAA Tournament as the nation’s top-ranked team and the presumptive favorite to win the national championship, the Virginia men’s tennis team was brimming with confidence. However, having just lost in the ACC Tournament finals to Wake Forest, the Cavaliers would need to right some inconsistencies if they were to secure a second-straight national title. In the end, the Cavaliers succeeded on all fronts and, in a rematch of last year’s final, defeated Oklahoma, 4-1.
Virginia men’s lacrosse coach Dom Starsia will not return to coach the Cavaliers next season, Inside Lacrosse reported. Athletic director Craig Littlepage will not renew Starsia’s contract, which expires Jan. 2017.
