Chase away the context — force things into a vacuum — and Virginia, judging only by a three-game stretch from Feb. 3-15, looked like a solid basketball team.
Virginia women’s lacrosse looked to start ACC play off on a high note Saturday in a top-15 contest against No. 13 Stanford at Klöckner Stadium. Although the Cavaliers (2-1, 0-1 ACC) initially went up 3-0 over the visitors, the Cardinal (4-0, 1-0 ACC) came storming back to take the match by a 13-7 margin. A stifling second half prevented Virginia from gaining any momentum, ultimately allowing the visitors to come out victorious.
After a difficult but expected loss to Duke, the writing was on the wall for Virgina. The team had been outrebounded 41-21 and gave up 16 second-chance points, a performance that Interim Coach Ron Sanchez called “unacceptable” after the game.
After a very busy last weekend, some of the Virginia team returned to compete this Friday and Saturday at the Arkansas Qualifier in Fayetteville, Ark. and the Virginia Tech Challenge in Blacksburg. The weekend was headlined by the fall of a NCAA record in the men’s distance relay in Arkansas and strong performances from junior Sarah Akpan in the 60 and 200 meter race at Virginia Tech.
It was uncharacteristically cold, blustery day in Round Rock, Texas. That set the tone for another slow start for No. 2 Virginia baseball, which fell behind early against Minnesota. With the threat of another deflating loss just over the horizon, junior outfielder Aidan Teel came through for the Cavaliers — recording three runs batted in and playing exceptional outfield defense. Teel proved to be the difference in the 4-2 victory over the Golden Gophers (1-4, 0-0 Big Ten) Saturday afternoon.
No. 12 Virginia men's lacrosse endured a brutal 14-5 defeat at the hands of Ohio State Saturday afternoon, marking the team's second gutting loss of the season. The Cavaliers (2-2, 0-0, ACC) were unable to gain their footing against the Buckeyes (5-1, 0-0, Big Ten) in their first road game this spring. This result not only continues to put Virginia on shaky ground at the beginning of the season, but also raises concerns about the team's ability to perform at its expected highest level moving forward.
The Board of Visitors met Friday in a Special Board meeting to discuss the University’s changing policies in regards to gender-affirming care, which includes practices to alter the physical, mental or biological experiences of one’s gender identity. The Board resolved to maintain the reinstatement of gender-affirming care — for existing patients only — in accordance with current federal regulation.
Coming off of a week in which Virginia baseball returned from the balmy conditions of Puerto Rico only to be greeted by a cancelled game in snowy Charlottesville conditions, the Cavaliers (2-2, 0-0 ACC) took another detour from the friendly confines of Disharoon Park this weekend to Round Rock, Texas.
After a dominant win Sunday over American, Virginia wrestling got a small break before Friday’s home match against No. 18 Pittsburgh. It was senior night, and the Cavaliers (6-6, 1-5 ACC) honored many in their ranks. Virginia grinded out matches against the Panthers (10-6, 3-3 ACC), but in the end it fell short too many times and lost 23-13.
No. 2 Virginia women’s tennis came out strong Friday in its ACC opener, securing a dominant 4-0 win over No. 19 Clemson at the Boar’s Head Sports Club in Charlottesville. Junior Annabelle Xu and freshman Martina Genis Salas clinched the doubles point in a close set, and before the Tigers (9-2, 0-1 ACC) could try and make a comeback, the Cavaliers (9-2, 1-0 ACC) finished the match with several decisive singles victories.
Following the University’s termination of the University Guide Service’s Special Status Organization agreement Wednesday, the Guide Service will shift to focus solely on historical tours — rather than admissions tours — according to Jack Giese and Davis Taliaferro, Guide Service co-chairs and fourth-year College students.

California entered the fourth quarter ahead by just one point. Neither team could get ahead — Virginia would lead by one point, just for the Golden Bears (22-6, 10-5 ACC) to tie it back up a few seconds later. Foul after foul gave both teams plenty of time at the free throw line, showing that this Thursday night match at John Paul Jones Arena was becoming a game to be determined by shooting accuracy.
