Good Morning, Hoos!

Today, we pause to honor a man who moved our country and our society forward in so many ways. As we celebrate victories, moments and stories in each and every Brew, let us remember those who helped pave the paths before us. 

We hope you enjoy this mini-Brew, or just a sip if you will. We’ll be back with your Venti-sized goodness tomorrow.

What else do we having brewing this morning?

🔼 Saturdays Are For Sweeping 🧹. The No. 5 Virginia men’s squash team (5-2, 1-0 MASC) swept Dickinson (3-12, 0-1 MASC) 9-0 on Saturday (Jan. 18) in their MASC opener at the McArthur Squash Center in Charlottesville, Va.

Head Coach Brian O’Connor and the Virginia baseball program inducted two former players—Andrew Carraway (2006-09) and Kenny Towns (2012-15)—into the Baseball Hall of Fame in a private ceremony on Saturday (Jan. 18). The ceremony also doubled as the 10-year reunion celebration for the 2015 National Championship team.

🔼 Wrestling With This Outcome. Dylan Cedeno remained undefeated on the season, but Virginia (4-2, 0-1 ACC) fell in its ACC opener with No. 6 NC State (8-1, 2-0 ACC) on Friday night (Jan. 17) at the Aquatics & Fitness Center.

Virginia heads out on the road to continue ACC competition at No. 17 Stanford. The dual is set for 6 p.m. ET on Sunday (Jan. 26) and will be streamed on ACCNX.
