For many people, Virginia tennis has become synonymous with the name of senior Somdev Devvarman, and most cannot imagine the team without the nationally known tennis player.

This past weekend's unseasonably warm temperatures helped bring out Virginia men's lacrosse fans as the Cavaliers scrimmaged the Navy Midshipmen on the University Hall Turf Field. Although Virginia dominated the game and outscored Navy 10-6 on the day, it was the Midshipmen who went up 2-0 early in the first. "I think Navy was a much-improved team from the one we saw in the fall," Virginia coach Dom Starsia said.

After the Virginia women's tennis team won two of the first three points against Ohio State, the Cavaliers lost the next three to the Buckeyes, falling 4-3. After Ohio State freshman Paloma Escobedo and senior Caitlin O'Keefe defeated Virginia's tandem of sophomore Jennifer Stevens and junior Hampton Williams to start the match, the Cavaliers (1-3) recovered to take the next two doubles matches to win the doubles point. In singles, the two teams went back and forth initially, as O'Keefe and Virginia junior Amanda Rales both won their matches in straight sets, giving the Cavaliers a 2-1 advantage.
