📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Sweet Sweep. No. 9 Virginia women’s tennis successfully started its spring season on Wednesday, sweeping Duquesne in both ends of a doubleheader at the Boar’s Head Sports Club.

🔼 Rivalry On The Road. Virginia women’s basketball travels to Blacksburg today for a Smithfield Commonwealth Clash tipoff at Virginia Tech at 6 p.m.

The Hoos won the most recent matchup against the Hokies in the final game of the 2023-24 regular season, an 80-75 triumph with Virginia Tech ranked No. 5 in the country at the time. This season’s Hokies are 12-4 and carry a three-game win streak into Thursday’s rivalry game.

🔼 Close Call. Virginia men’s basketball fell in a heartbreaker on Wednesday night, 54-52, to SMU at John Paul Jones Arena.

Blake Buchanan led the Hoos with 11 points and 15 rebounds, and Ishan Sharma joined him in double figures with 10 points.

🔼 ACC vs. SEC. No. 5 Virginia men’s tennis begins its spring season on the road today, traveling for a top-15 matchup at No. 15 South Carolina.

🔼 Putting It All Together. Virginia wrestling’s Dylan Cedeno picked up multiple big wins during his redshirt freshman season back in 2022, including a 5-0 win over national runner-up Kizhan Clarke of North Carolina. Then, injuries derailed much of his next two seasons.

Now, he’s healthy and enjoying much of the same success he had three seasons ago.

🔼 Hot Ticket. Who here is excited about Virginia baseball this season?

Seems like everyone is — the Hoos have already broken a season ticket record!

🔼 Houston, We’ve Got A Game. Virginia and Towson men’s lacrosse have announced a neutral-site meeting between the two teams at Kinkaid School in Houston on March 8!

🔼 Moving On. Another day, another win at the Australian Open for former Hoo Emma Navarro!
