📈 STOCK UP

🔼 The Next Wave. Virginia football has 17 newcomers in the facility this semester, with 10 freshmen and seven transfers joining the program last month.

The 17 midyear additions are by far the most in program history. Their early arrival gives the team to spend more time together and get a head start on bonding.

🔼 Mass-ketball. Virginia women’s basketball travels north today to take on Boston College at 6 p.m. on the ACC Network.

A win against the Eagles, who are 10-3 overall at home this season but have lost five straight games, would bring the Hoos level with Boston College in the ACC standings.
