Reeling after three consecutive losses to conclude the regular season, Virginia men’s lacrosse is entering the ACC Tournament void of momentum. It does not help that the Cavaliers will, again, be faced with No. 1 Notre Dame — whom Virginia lost to in the national semifinal in 2023 and failed to enact revenge upon Saturday, falling 11-9 in the regular-season finale.

After my big in my sorority and I spread the word about our dining experience at Oakhart Social last month, the rest of our “family” — including my cousin, grandbig and great-grandbig — wanted seats at the table, too. As we all sent suggestions in our group chat for somewhere that we could affordably dine, my great-grandbig suggested Thai Cuisine and Noodle House, citing the drunken noodles as the best she has ever had. The price point was almost as appealing as the food itself, with most options under $17 and the most expensive item we ordered costing just $13.50.

Virginia’s Friday semifinal matchup in the ACC Tournament was one to forget for the No. 6 Cavaliers (14-4, 6-3 ACC), who were thoroughly beaten by Syracuse (14-5, 8-1 ACC) by a 19-4 margin. Virginia was second-best in almost all facets of play, and an early lead taken by the No. 4 Orange was too much for the Cavaliers to come back from.

After weeks of anticipation and emotional buildup for the rematch of the 2023 Final Four game, Virginia faced off against Notre Dame in a clash of collegiate lacrosse titans. However, any hopes of victory held by Virginia players and fans were crushed in the last quarter of play. Saturday’s matchup saw No. 6 Virginia, the national leader in ground balls, somehow allowed No. 1 Notre Dame, a distant 15th, to win the ground ball battle by a whopping 24. This ground ball dominance propelled the Fighting Irish (10-1, 4-0 ACC) to an 11-9 triumph over the Cavaliers (10-4, 1-3 ACC) at Klöckner Stadium before a crowd of 6,479, the stadium’s highest attendance mark in 11 years.

The University played a major role in drafting the bill, which takes effect July 1. House Bill 1505 is indeed groundbreaking and will largely shift the NIL landscape in Virginia, but Athletic Director Carla Williams should be cautious with this sudden and unprecedented change.
