Hoos Brew 4/27: Dreams To Reality
Today, we really want a hug from the commissioner.
Ashlyn Greer
April 27, 2023
Good morning! Every college football player dreams of hearing his name called in the NFL Draft.
What else are we serving up in today's Brew?
🏀 Tribute to Coach
⚾️ Two in a row
⚔️ And much, much more!
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Big Barrels. Kyle Teel, have a night!
The Virginia catcher went 5-for-5, scored three runs and drove in a pair as part of UVA’s 13-4 win over Towson Wednesday night at the Dish. Ethan Anderson, hitting right behind Teel, drove in four runs during his three-hit night.
With two midweek wins under their belts, the Hoos welcome in Duke this weekend for a crucial three-game ACC series.
🔼 Tribute To Coach Holland. John Paul Jones Arena will serve as the site for the tribute to the life and contributions of former Virginia men’s basketball coach and athletics director Terry Holland. The service will be held Saturday, May 6 at 2:00pm ET.
Speakers will include former players, administrators and coaching peers that Holland impacted during his career that spanned Virginia, Davidson and East Carolina.
🔼 Comeback Comes Up Short. Fourth-seeded Virginia women’s lacrosse made a six-goal deficit disappear against five-seed Notre Dame in the ACC Quarterfinals, but the Irish got the last laugh, winning 15-13.
Ashlyn McGovern scored four goals for the Hoos to lead the way. Rachel Clark and Morgan Schwab both scored five points as well.
🔼 Prestigious Penn. Virginia track and field is in Philadelphia this week to compete at the Penn Relays, the oldest and largest track meet in the country.
Thursday gets things started with collegiate field events and select distance events in the evening portion, before the schedule really expands Friday and Saturday.
🔼 Hoosier State Hoos. Virginia women’s golf’s postseason assignment is in - the Hoos are headed to Westfield, Indiana as the No. 5 seed in its NCAA Regional.
The Hoos will be joined in the region by Mississippi State, Oregon, Vanderbilt, Iowa State, Tulsa, Tennessee, Michigan, Oregon State, Xavier, Lipscomb and Morehead State.
The trip to the postseason is the 17th in program history.
