🔼 Down Goes Notre Dame. No. 13 Virginia women’s lacrosse picked up its signature win to this point of its season over the weekend, traveling to Notre Dame and beating the No. 4 Irish, 12-10.

Morgan Schwab was once again terrific for the Hoos, scoring twice and serving four assists, while Jenna Dinardo recorded her second consecutive hat trick.

🔼 Coming Home Happy. No. 6 Virginia men’s lacrosse used a lopsided third quarter to pull away from Towson on Saturday, winning 19-15 to improve to 5-1 on the season.

Connor Shellenberger owned the highlight of the match, dishing out seven assists to set the all-time program record.

🔼 Hamilton Leads The Hoos. Virginia wrestler Nick Hamilton claimed the 165-pound title at the ACC Championships over the weekend on his way to being named the Most Outstanding Wrestler at the event, and the Hoos finished fifth as a team.
