🔼 Senior Celebration. After playing two straight road games, Virginia men’s basketball hosts Clemson tomorrow at noon for the program’s Senior Day.

The Tigers are 23-5 overall this season and are in a tie for second place in the ACC standings at 15-2 in conference play.

🏀 FEATURE: Late-Season Surge Continues For Hoos

🔼 Road Dub. Virginia women’s basketball won its second game in a row on Thursday in Dallas, beating SMU, 63-51.

Breona Hurd led the Hoos in scoring off the bench with 16 points, followed by Latasha Lattimore (15) and Paris Clark (13). Kymora Johnson fell three assists shy of a triple-double with 11 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.

Virginia closes out the regular season on Sunday with a trip to North Carolina to play the No. 8 Tar Heels at 2 p.m. on The CW.

🏀 BOX SCORE: Virginia 63, SMU 51

🔼 Home For The Weekend. No. 10 Virginia baseball will spend the weekend at the Dish for the first time this season, welcoming Dartmouth to town for a three-game series starting today at 3 p.m.

🔼 Runners, On Your Mark. The postseason is here for Virginia track and field, with the team in Louisville, Ky. this weekend for the ACC Indoor Championships.

🔼 For The Cup. No. 18 Virginia men’s lacrosse travels to Baltimore tomorrow for a matchup with Johns Hopkins at noon on ESPNU, for the opportunity to claim the Doyle Smith Cup.

The Blue Jays are 4-1 on the season, their lone loss coming by one goal against No. 9 North Carolina last weekend.

🔼 Out West. No. 11 Virginia women’s lacrosse plays its ACC road opener this weekend out on the West Coast, taking on Cal tomorrow at 3 p.m.

The Hoos last played the Bears on Feb. 13, 2022, winning 18-5 in Charlottesville.

🔼 Let’s Do It Again. Virginia softball hosts a tournament again this weekend, this time the Party at Palmer Invitational.

The Hoos will play twice against both Seton Hall and Hofstra, and once against Cornell.

🔼 Road Trip. No. 5 Virginia men’s tennis gets back to ACC play this weekend, hitting the road for a pair of matches at No. 15 Duke and North Carolina.

The Hoos will be in Durham today to play the Blue Devils at 3 p.m. before heading to Chapel Hill on Sunday for a 1 p.m. match with the Tar Heels.

🔼 Mustang Match. No. 1 Virginia women’s tennis is also on the road this weekend, traveling to Dallas for a match against SMU today at 2 p.m. ET.

🔼 Love At First Sight. She grew up in the Los Angeles area, so Jasmine Burton was well-acquainted with picturesque settings when she arrived at the University of Virginia for her official visit. Even so, her first look at Grounds left Burton spellbound.

“It was the most beautiful place I’d ever been to,” she recalled. “It was so green. It was vibrant.”

Her visit fell on Homecomings weekend in the fall of 2012, and Burton, one of California’s top young volleyball players, attended a football game at Scott Stadium.

“So it was just a perfect time to be there, and I remember I fell in love,” she said. “I committed maybe four days after my official visit. I had just never seen a place like it. It was so beautiful and diverse and green, and everyone seemed happy.”
