Tennis is a sport of fine margins, where the outcome of a match can be determined by whether a ball lands just inside the line or is called out. Unlike many other sports where scoring opportunities are more frequent, tennis is unique in how a single close call can shift the momentum of an entire match. However, for fans on the sideline glancing at the final scoreline, the competitiveness of a match often gets lost. A match can be filled with pivotal moments and momentum swings, but the final score does not always reflect how tightly contested the battle was. This is especially true because of how clinch scoring — where matches are decided once a team reaches the four required wins— works in college tennis.

After the conclusion of competition Tuesday at Southern Highlands Golf Club, the Cavaliers sat at 10-over par, 19 strokes behind the champion, Auburn. Statistically, this was the worst performance of the year for Virginia, but numbers can be deceiving.

The title of NCAA Woman of the Year is coveted by all female student-athletes, but only a select few ever receive the honor. With hundreds of candidates vying for a spot among the nine finalists, it is nearly impossible to even garner a nomination, let alone win. Yet, in October 1998, Class of 1999 alumna Peggy Williams won it outright. Even more impressive? She did so while playing not just one but two varsity sports.

While the University alert system is periodically reviewed throughout the year, last week’s two shelter-in-place orders were more than a test for the emergency response technology. After a man fled a traffic stop, the University was locked down for five hours Feb. 25. And an active attacker with a knife caused another shelter-in-place Feb. 27. During these two events, University alert systems delivered frequent updates to the community with descriptions and locations of possible suspects and updates surrounding police activity.

Last week, University students experienced two different shelter-in-place orders. Feb. 25, students received a University Emergency Alert to shelter-in-place as a known gang affiliate fled police on foot following a car accident near Alderman and McCormick road.

Both of these alerts, which happened during the academic day, came as students found themselves in a variety of places — dormitories, lecture halls, the basement of the AFC and University dining spaces.

March is a wonderful month at the University, bringing about the early days of spring. It is a time for popping outside and cracking open a book while lazing on the Lawn. It also marks the beginning of Women’s History Month, a time where we highlight the achievements and perspectives of women throughout the decades. As such, March is also the perfect time to delve into some books written by incredible female authors. Though reading is often lauded as an “escape,” reading books about women by women can in fact get us closer to reality — closer to the nuances and intricacies of lived experience.

Students who have walked along or driven by the intersection of Emmet Street South and Stadium Road this semester may have noticed a new construction site in this area.
