Freshman Sara Curtis stormed into the yellow touchpad as the anchor leg of the 400-yard freestyle relay — the final event of the meet — and turned to glimpse at the scoreboard. 3:05.26. A new NCAA record to tie up a victory Virginia knew all day had been coming.
A Cinderella story before the calendar ever read March, Miami (OH)’s undefeated regular season in the always-competitive MAC garnered national attention and some controversy too. Save for a sole loss to Massachusetts in their conference tournament, the Redhawks (32-2, 18-0 MAC) passed every test sent their way — defeating SMU in the First Four to punch a ticket to the NCAA Tournament.
The sun was out, the stands filled at Disharoon Park, the Cavaliers’ usual round of pregame hacky-sack went on in front of the home dugout and No. 9 Virginia (19-5, 5-3 ACC) looked to secure a third ACC series win — the vibes were high. Those vibes didn’t last longer than the third inning. No. 24 Wake Forest would take a seven run lead in the third and never look back, securing a 13-4 lead to tie the series.
For years, the conversation surrounding Virginia women’s basketball has been anchored to the past, trapped in a loop of the “glory days” and what the program used to be. But Saturday, inside the sweltering heat of Carver-Hawkeye Arena, there is no more looking back.
The University’s Miller Center hosted a panel of experts in government, academia and the private sector Thursday to discuss the lack of federal regulations surrounding artificial intelligence. Panelists discussed AI’s transformative role in the current “historical moment” and how — and whether — to address the fragmented nature of AI regulations across states and countries in the Trump era.
The Maxine Platzer Lynn Women’s Center hosted “A Celebration of Legacy and Light” Thursday evening at the Graduate Hotel to honor its 21 graduating student interns and workers, as well as recipients of the 2024 Distinguished Alumna Award and the inaugural winner of the Spirit of 1974 Award. The event also celebrated the first women to graduate from a coed class at the University in the Class of 1974, with three female members of the class in attendance.
With 52 seconds remaining, junior attacker Madison Alaimo did not have a stick.
The last time Virginia men’s lacrosse played at Scott Stadium in 2011, the team lost 12-7 to Maryland in a game marked by a hailstorm and the sudden, mid-season dismissal of a star player. No such personnel or weather struggles impeded the match today as the Cavaliers (4-4, 0-0 ACC) ultimately triumphed 16-11 over Utah in their return to Scott.
This week’s From the Archives looks at the historical achievements and involvements of women at the University in honor of Women’s History Month. From the University’s first official coed class to the women’s basketball team being a “beacon of hope” for the University in the 1990s, women have made a profound impact on the University. As we look back on 56 years of coeducation, we celebrate the achievements of women at U.Va. and the hard work and sacrifice it took to get there.1950sMarch 24, 1955“Contest Open to Women Students; English Professor Attends Meet” By unlisted authorWomen were extended an invitation to participate in the Reed and Barton Silver Company’s “Silver Opinion Competition” in 1955. Co-ed and graduate nursing students were called to deliver speeches on how Reed and Barton silver patterns best suit their lifestyle. 1960sMarch 21, 1961“Carolyn Hester and ‘Ramblers’ Captivate Lovers of Folk Music”By Malcom and Tucker ScullyIn the first organized appearance of folk music at the University, Carolyn Hester and the New Lost City Ramblers performed at Cabell Hall. Hester sang with an ease and grace that altered the sadness of the lyrics into inspirational tunes for listeners. The authentic entertainment and political spoofs encouraged the desirability of folk music on Grounds, paving the way for current bands and touring acts at the University. 1970sMarch 26, 1973“Shirley Chisholm To Speak; Termed ‘Outspoken Liberal’” By Tom TantonPhoto by unlisted photographerThe first Black woman in Congress, Shirley Chisholm (D-N.Y.), planned to speak at Old Cabell Hall Auditorium. Congresswoman Chisholm faced numerous adversities in her career, including poor committee assignments, criticism of her liberal views and the negative role gender played in her presidential campaign. An emblematic character of advancement for Black women, Rep. Chisholm co-established the National Women’s Political Caucus and redefined womanhood in American politics. 1980sMarch 26, 1985“Watkins: marketplace dictates content of black literature” By Karen HanniganPhoto by Steve Hutchinson Gloria Jean Watkins, better known by her pen name “bell hook,” spoke at Wilson Hall on “Black Women Writers Today: The Impact of the Feminist Movement.” Watkins called upon the publishing industry to allow black female writers to express themselves authentically rather than conforming to the demands of profitability, and to stop portraying Black men as the primary oppressors instead of white men and women. She declared that “the marketplace has determined to too great an extent the literature Black women are producing.” Over the past 50 years, she has continued to publish writing that reflects this commitment to authenticity, including her most famous work “All About Love: New Visions.”1990sMarch 25, 1991“Ryan magic obscured by negatives” By Andrew GoldbergDespite growing tensions surrounding the drug raid scandal at the University, students could now find the success of the women’s basketball team in reaching the Final Four tournament as a “beacon of hope.” Coach Debbie Ryan took over the program in 1977, with little cash and talent, and built a national basketball powerhouse. Ryan molded a team for athletic and academic success, later influencing their NCAA tournament finals against Tennessee. 2000sMarch 23, 2007“The vendetta against ‘vagina’”By Lindsay HugginsIn this 2007 opinion piece, Lindsay Huggins covers the unnecessary censorship of the word “vagina,” particularly in relation to “The Vagina Monologues” by Eve Ensler. This 1996 play promotes comfort with female sexuality — challenging the stigma surrounding women’s bodies — yet ironically, its script was consistently policed across the country. Huggins argues placing vagina on our “list of dirty words” frames women’s sexuality as shameful or vulgar. She calls on the public to reclaim the word and empower women to be confident in their sexuality.
Class of 2026 School of Medicine students gathered outside of Old Cabell Hall Friday to celebrate Match Day — the third Friday of March where fourth-year medical students find out which residency program they will enter once they graduate medical school.

“God’s Gonna Cut You Down” by Johnny Cash booms from the powerful speakers at Disharoon Park. An unfamiliar walk-up song for the Virginia faithful, the anthem precedes the at-bats for a new star — Joe Tiroly.
The first inning is usually an indicator of how the game will go for Virginia. Coach Chris Pollard’s team is 17-0 this season when they score in the first.
For graduate midfielder Will Inderlied, Scott Stadium has been a place mired in childhood memory, from the heartbreak of the Commonwealth Clash to the pulse of the “4th Side.” The son of Mark Inderlied, a kicker for the football team from 1984 to 1988, Will’s first season with the lacrosse program began in 2022 — Klöckner Stadium the site of four years of new memories.

Many of the United States’ elite colleges did not admit women on a relatively equal basis until the 1960s — indeed, the University did not have its first fully coeducated class until 1970, after facing intense legal pressure from the American Civil Liberties Union. However, by 1982, women already made up over 50 percent of university students nationally, and today, they make up an even greater majority of undergraduate, doctoral and professional degree recipients. In electoral politics, they have made considerable strides across the country, with Virginia electing University alumna Gov. Abigail Spanberger, its first female governor, last November. There is much to celebrate, but for all of women’s progress, one statistic has been relatively static — that of political ambition.
Thursday night, the Cavaliers proved they belonged back in the Dance. Saturday, they will prove whether or not they can sustain a postseason run.
