🔼 Throwing It Back.

They received 10 votes in the American Volleyball Coaches Association poll released Monday.

“I think this weekend was a huge stepping stone for our team,” head coach Shannon Wells said after UVA secured wins over FSU and Miami in the same season for the first time since 2010.

🤔 HOOS TRIVIA

⏪ ICYMI

We like our Brew hot ‘n’ fresh, but we’re not opposed to you reheating your cup. Here’s some news you may have missed recently…

Never-Say-Die Cavaliers Building Momentum. One hundred and seventy media members cast ballots for the ACC preseason football poll, and collectively they picked Virginia to finish 16^th out of the league’s 17 teams.

Five games into its third season under head coach Tony Elliott, UVA is 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the ACC. The Cavaliers aren’t worried, though, about proving prognosticators wrong. They’re focused on proving that their self-belief was justified.
