In the end, the NCAA Championship title came down to one final third set, one final court and one final player standing between Virginia and another national title. With every teammate courtside surrounding Court 1 and every point carrying championship implications, No. 4-seed Virginia defeated fellow powerhouse No. 2-seed Texas to capture the NCAA Championship at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Ga.
In an interview with The Cavalier Daily in March, University President Scott Beardsley said he aims to be a “global president” of the University. Beardsley has spent much of his career abroad — he worked in management consulting in Belgium for over two decades — and he said a central focus of his tenure at the Darden School of Business included expanding international experiences for students.
For two months, Wake Forest had been Virginia’s roadblock.
Saturday, Virginia baseball walked onto the diamond for the last time in the 2025-26 regular season. Ending the season on the road versus ACC foe Louisville at Jim Patterson Stadium, the Cavaliers (35-20, 14-16 ACC) smacked 11 hits and recorded only a single error — besting their eight hits and three errors in Thursday’s victory.
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Virginia Democrats’ final push for redistricting Friday ahead of the 2026 national midterm elections. Amidst a nationwide grab for more congressional seats, Virginia’s pre-gerrymandered 6-5 congressional map — not its 10-1 map approved by voters in a special election April 21 — will remain in effect come November’s midterm elections.
Thursday, Virginia beat Louisville 8-3 in a game that was never close. The Cavaliers (35-19, 14-15 ACC) bested the Cardinals (29-26, 12-17 ACC) in most statistics. The result was never in doubt.
No. 5 Virginia advanced to the NCAA Men’s Tennis Championship semifinals with a 4-1 victory over No. 6 Mississippi State Thursday night. The 4-seed Cavaliers (26-4, 12-1 ACC) captured the doubles point and relied on clutch performances from the middle of the lineup to survive another tense postseason battle to take down the 5-seed Bulldogs (25-6, 11-3 SEC) for the second time this season, having won at the ITA National Team Indoor Championship by the same margin.
In a game where a whole lot went right for Virginia and a whole lot went wrong for Louisville, one statistic stands out — seven of the eight runs scored by the boys in orange and blue were unearned. That was the core of an 8-3 win.
After being ousted from the ACC Championship quarterfinals by No. 14 Virginia Tech, Virginia still had one thing left to look forward to — the NCAA Softball Selection Show.

Optimism abounded for Coach Chris Pollard’s first season at the helm of Virginia baseball, a program losing its College World Series-winning coach but gaining an influx of proven talent through the transfer portal. Though question marks remained, the potential was unmistakable.
In what was perhaps the worst late April Fools’ Day prank of all time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that it would halt testing for rabies and pause tracking for over two dozen other diseases. The CDC acts as an important reference point for state and local health authorities when diagnosing rabies and other diseases. Unfortunately, this drastic upheaval carries not just political consequences, but real human costs in Virginia and beyond. Testing and tracking programs help doctors confirm suspected cases. Limiting these practices may result in less accurate diagnoses, especially with a disease like rabies where early symptoms can resemble other diseases prior to more severe stages. This is a serious mistake that the Virginia Department of Health will be forced to mitigate.
People react to articles in different ways. “Thank you” is a rare reaction, though. I was especially shocked to hear “thank you” from Tony Bennett.
When Kyle Montaperto stepped foot on Grounds four years ago, he had one objective in mind — win a national title for Virginia wrestling. But as he grew accustomed to the University, his goals expanded drastically.
