With 10 games left in the regular season, Virginia baseball must be near-perfect

To date, Virginia’s performance in the 2025 season has not met the expectations that being ranked No. 2 in the preseason brought. The team has been wildly inconsistent, and has spent the last several weeks unranked. The question then becomes, who are the real Cavaliers? Is this team the one that had hopes of a third straight College World Series or the team that fails to maintain a streak of success? 

Africa Day captures the ‘essence’ of African heritage

Against a backdrop of Afrobeats and electric cheers, 29 models from The Organization of African Students stepped onto the runway. They pranced, twirled and posed. They maneuvered their garments to catch the gleam of the spotlight. And they carried objects, from clay pots to gold jewelry, that are symbolic of their roots.

Upon walking into Virginia softball’s locker room, you are met with a huge vision board mounted to the wall.

In his home just 90 minutes away from the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., baseball was everywhere. So, it was perfectly fitting that Scharf rounded up his friends and took on the local neighborhood boys.

This was Scharf’s first exposure to the baseball world, but it would be far from his last.
