So as we begin this new year together, let us walk through the valuable pointers that can best ensure our continued strength as a community.

Yet Virginia field hockey has not slowed down in the slightest. If anything, the Cavaliers, who came in at No. 3 in last week’s National Field Hockey Coaches Association Poll, appear stronger than ever ahead of the 2025 season.

Last fall, I wasted my syllabus week. Yes, I’ll admit it. Having freshly moved into my dorm, I felt independent and fiercely confident. However, in my first-year haze, I was hideously unaware of the chaos barreling my way after a week of work-free bliss. Suddenly, I found myself three readings behind and $200 poorer.

Nine transfers, bringing experience from 18 different college football programs — this is the number of defensive backs brought in by Virginia football this most recent offseason. It is more than the total number or transfers welcomed by powerhouse Penn State — the Nittany Lions brought in eight across the entire roster.
