In a Monday afternoon dual at the Chewning Tennis Center, No. 14 Virginia fell 6-1 to No. 3 North Carolina, marking their first loss of the spring dual season. The Cavaliers (3-1, 0-1 ACC) entered the match seeking redemption after last season’s ACC Tournament elimination at the hands of the Tar Heels (4-0, 1-0 ACC), but ultimately came up short across the board. Facing one of the nation’s best lineups — which fielded five ranked singles players and two ranked doubles pairings — the Cavaliers battled through an exciting doubles phase and several long singles matches.

The return from winter break often serves as a barometer for national championship aspirations, and as Virginia squash returned to the courts in January, they were faced with two distinct tests — a home-game stand against Princeton, an Ivy League giant and a neutral-site clash in Northern Va., versus Tufts.

Virginia swimming experienced a tale of two meets Saturday in Christiansburg, Va. The No. 1 Cavalier women broke as many pool records as they have national championships, decimating the Hokie women 201-87. The No. 21 men were upset by an unranked Virginia Tech squad, echoing last year’s disappointment in the same annual dual. The result kept the women unbeaten at 7-0, while the men fell to 2-5 in dual-meet action.

Virginia Athletics did not just win in 2025 — they conquered. Through historic upsets, clinched titles and national headlines, the Cavaliers delivered one of the most thrilling years to be a Virginia fan yet. Football’s Sept. 26 double-overtime upset of then-No. 8 Florida State set the tone, and the months that followed brought breakthrough results across multiple sports — from postseason hardware to long-awaited ACC success.

Virginia women’s basketball made its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 1984, which started a 20-year streak of NCAA Tournament berths. Once revered as a basketball superpower, the Cavaliers have since settled into long-standing — around eight years to be specific — mediocrity. Now, in 2026, patience is a liability instead of a virtue. The team is strong on paper, but alas, the game is played on hardwood. There is still much to be proven.

As the University’s winter break came to a close, 1,156 dedicated Virginia fans packed the bleachers at the Aquatic and Fitness Center — setting an attendance record — to watch the Cavaliers race the Nittany Lions.

As a program coming off its first ACC title and NCAA runner-up finish, the Cavaliers’ approach to their mid-season break matters. The No. 1-ranked team has not skipped a beat this fall, finishing 10-0-1 in ACC matchups and placing no lower than second in its first three tournaments.

In his first few years with Virginia swimming, Coach Todd DeSorbo’s message to blue-chip women’s recruits was simple — come to Virginia and make history. Prior to their first national championship in 2021, phone calls were being made in a trophyless office, promising banners that didn’t yet exist.

It has been a strong start to the season for Virginia wrestling (8-3, 0-0 ACC), and a lot of that has to do with what is shaping up to be a breakout year for one of the Cavaliers’ best wrestlers.

Junior Dylan Dietrich and senior Måns Dahlberg did not arrive in Orlando, Fla. in mid-November expecting to leave such a distinct mark on Virginia men’s tennis history. They believed they could compete. They hoped they could make a run. But like most players stepping into an NCAA championship draw stacked with other nationally ranked opponents, the reality of winning it all felt distant.

At 6:15 in the morning, the University sleeps. Streetlights illuminate sidewalks untrodden by students since the evening prior. The Lawn lies empty, and the Bodo’s Bagels on University Avenue has yet to open its doors. Buildings across grounds dwell in silence, patiently awaiting a day that has yet to begin. One of the exemptions from that list of dark, empty buildings, however, is the Hardie Football Operations Center.

The year is 1973. Richard Nixon is president, gas costs just 36 cents per gallon and neither Virginia Coach Tony Elliott nor Missouri Coach Eliah Drinkwitz have been born. Yet, that is the only time before the 2025 Gator Bowl that their two programs have met on the gridiron.

On a grey morning at the Rivanna Reservoir, mist sitting low on the water and the shoreline still quiet, the Virginia women's rowing team slips out of the dock with only the rhythmic sound of oars disturbing the stillness. In one stern of one shell sits sophomore coxswain Brie Joe, tucked neatly behind her crew and speaking into a small microphone. Her tone is controlled, her calls precise in a way that feels almost out of place for someone only 19 years old.

6-foot-11 Jack Salt stood inside the Covenant School gymnasium Dec. 3, in a city that still feels like home away from home. The former Virginia center returned to Charlottesville not as a player wearing 33 in white, navy blue and orange, or as the defensive anchor of a national championship team. Instead, he returned as a basketball mentor, bringing a group of Australian high schoolers to the United States to learn about the sport.

Over the past two decades, Virginia has seen five basketball coaches, four football coaches, two athletic directors and 22 NCAA championships. More broadly, there has been a dramatic shift across the country in how athletic programs strategize — whether it be increased budgets, NIL, the transfer portal or the impact of social media on recruiting.

Since the addition of field hockey to NCAA sports in 1981, the circle of championship-winning programs has remained small. For all its pedigree and despite six semifinal appearances, Virginia field hockey has yet to reach a Final Four match, let alone join that circle of championship programs. And this year was no different.

Virginia Athletics announced Monday that the Cavaliers will play the 2026 football season opener not at Scott Stadium, but at Milton Santos Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Aug. 29.

Junior linebacker Maddox Marcellus was not going to be a starter entering this season. Marcellus himself was well aware of this.
