📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Ticket Punched. No. 3 seed UVA men’s golf held firm in third place all week at the NCAA Las Vegas Regional, punching its ticket to the NCAA Championships in Scottsdale, Ariz.

For the fifth time this season, Ben James claimed a tournament victory, sharing medalist honors with San Francisco’s Matthew Anderson at 20-under par. James is the first Hoo to ever win an NCAA Regional.

As a team, Virginia shot a 54-hole total of 49-under 815, 10 shots back of Arizona State, which won the Regional at 59-under.

🔼 Quarters Calling. No team has been more dominant than Virginia men’s tennis this postseason - the Hoos have claimed 4-0 victories over Navy, Ole Miss and Duke.

The Wildcats are battle-tested this postseason, with back-to-back 4-3 wins over Northwestern and Stanford to get to the quarterfinals.

With the ACC Baseball Championship starting early next week, the regular season finale with the Yellow Jackets will take on a Thursday-Friday-Saturday schedule.

With three games to go, Virginia controls its destiny in the ACC Coastal - a sweep of Georgia Tech would give the Hoos the division crown.

🔼 Nine Is Nice. Virginia men’s lacrosse has the biggest collection of talent in all of Division-I lacrosse.

🥇 Thomas McConvey

🥈 Connor Shellenberger, Xander Dickson

🥉 Grayson Sallade, Cade Saustad

 Honorable Mention: Payton Cormier, Petey LaSalla, Evan Zinn, Cole Kastner

🔼 Who We Are. Virginia women’s basketball head coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton recently joined ACC PM to discuss her first year at the helm, the Hoos’ incoming recruiting class and much, much more.
