When soccer players enter college and stare down the barrel of a compressed two-week preseason, it can be a struggle to acclimate quickly and make an early impact. But, for men’s soccer’s freshman forward Nicholas Simmonds, that was not the case.
In their September meeting earlier this year, the Board of Visitors’ Audit, Compliance and Risk Committee laid out a promising new proposal through which the University will retire its patchwork of discretionary privacy rules and replace them with a single, comprehensive privacy framework. This step forward is significant for all stakeholders at the University — after all, elevating privacy from scattered provisions to a coherent, enforceable framework is more than administrative housekeeping. Rather, it is a substantive step toward safeguarding student autonomy in an era when it is most at risk.

No. 1 Virginia women’s soccer traveled to Syracuse for its second conference match of the season Saturday night. In their first game since being named the top team in the country, the Cavaliers (8-0-1, 2-0-0 ACC) looked the part, as they shut down the Orange (4-3-4, 0-2-1 ACC) 3-0 to remain undefeated in their seventh shutout victory of the season.
The United Campus Workers of the University’s faculty committee published an article in The Cavalier Daily Aug. 26. There are innumerable items to debate in the UCWVA-UVA editorial, which is rife with inaccuracies and misrepresentations. I will focus on one very key topic that gets short shrift, and which they clearly either do not understand or are grossly misrepresenting — the prohibitive cost of a University education for the middle class. UCWVA-UVA says, “The University is ranked first for financial aid among public universities — it is one of only two public universities that fully meet all demonstrated financial need … Does this sound like a University in crisis?"
Coach Tony Elliott berated his team before they had even run a play in the third quarter. While the 11 offensive players wandered off the field following a timeout, Elliott’s yells may have resembled a team that was down two touchdowns to Stanford — not one winning by the same margin.
Towards the end of the first quarter, graduate quarterback Chandler Morris faced pressure, rolled out of the pocket and scrambled towards the sideline. Knowing he had to get rid of the ball, Morris fired a rocket down the field. Fortunately, senior receiver Trell Harris was there and twisted his body to make an amazing grab inside the endzone.
No. 3 Virginia field hockey began ACC play Friday with a matchup against a faltering No. 13 Boston College squad at Turf Field. The Cavaliers (6-0-0, 1-0, ACC) have begun the year with five consecutive wins, while the Eagles (3-4, 0-1, ACC) lost their last three heading into the matchup. However, this did not deter Boston College — they gave Virginia everything they had, but the Cavaliers ultimately triumphed, scraping out a hard fought 2-0 win.

The Cavaliers (6-3, 0-0 ACC) defeated the Buckeyes (2-5, 0-0 Big Ten) in a five-set match that started off slowly but quickly picked up. Virginia walked away from the match with its first program win over Ohio State, after losing in 2021.

After a week of being knee-deep in midterm prep, I decided to briefly pause my studying for a solo trip out for good grub. Not wanting to repeat Corner staples so early into the year, I widened my cuisine consideration pool and ventured out to Birdhouse. Here, local, free-range rotisserie chicken sits center stage — and at the center of their chalkboard menu — with plenty of sides to go around.
Now it was enough. Delirium had played catch with amazement, and they both ended up holding the ball. It was halftime. The stadium lights’ mandate lasted much longer. It was over.
