Virginia seeks return to winning ways

The Virginia baseball team hosts a three-team round robin tournament this weekend at Davenport Field as the squad looks to bounce back from Tuesday's 8-0 home loss to Liberty, the team's first regular-season shutout against a non-conference foe in more than a decade. The Cavaliers (5-2-1) open the weekend against Wright State (1-5) this afternoon before facing Seton Hall (2-5) for the nightcap of a doubleheader.

Hope for the best, expect the worst

After the Virginia-North Carolina basketball game last weekend, I felt naive. Naive for sincerely believing we had a chance to pull off the upset, believing it up until Jontel Evans’ last-second heave, which had more of a chance of shattering the backboard than going through the net. You know that feeling you get when you just know something bad is about to happen, yet you stubbornly choose to ignore your concerns, only to watch them unfold exactly as you had foreseen? It’s a feeling of stupidity, of incredulity.

Track teams finish fourth at ACC Indoors

The Virginia men's and women's track and field teams posted a pair of fourth-place team finishes at the ACC Indoor Championships in Boston last weekend. The Cavaliers' day was highlighted by individual victories for seniors Marcus Robinson and Mark Amirault and juniors Morgane Gay and Pearl Bickersteth. Robinson's opening mark of 53 feet, 6.5 inches in the triple jump stood up to earn the All-American his second gold in the event.
