So with that, members of this fine University, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the State of the Hoo-nion Address.

#GoACC Power Rankings: Week 7

By Zack Bartee | October 8, 2014

I’d like to start this week by apologizing for a dearth of #GoACC coverage last week, I had a few prior commitments and I hope nobody’s week was not too negatively affected.

Awaiting the jackpot

By Daniel Weltz | October 6, 2014

If an unhealthy addiction is defined as an irrational fixation on something that is objectively not worth the trouble, then tie me to a chair, send in the shrinks and let the intervention begin. I have a problem.

Shine on

By Ryan Taylor | October 6, 2014

Cavaliers face Pittsburgh in ACC clash

By Grant Gossage | October 1, 2014

This Saturday evening, when the Virginia football team (3-2, 1-0 ACC) takes on Pittsburgh (3-2, 1-0 ACC), Scott Stadium will be the place to be. Following a third-quarter coast to victory over non-conference opponent Kent State, Virginia recognizes that a win Saturday versus an ACC coastal division foe would be an even bigger step in the right direction.

Senior outside hitter Tori Janowski tallied 34 kills in the Virginia wins, becoming the 16th player in program history to surpass 1,000 kills for her career.

By Chanhong Luu | October 1, 2014

Senior outside hitter Tori Janowski has a chance to leave the University one of the school’s best volleyball players in the past decade — but her aim isn’t to climb the ranks with impressive statistics. It’s to lead the Cavaliers to their first NCAA tournament appearance in over 10 years.
