🔼 The Call is Coming From Inside the House. Former Virginia baseball player Kyle Teel (2021-23) made his Major League debut on Friday (June 6) for the Chicago White Sox. The catcher went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks and scored once in the 7-2 White Sox victory.

Teel is the No. 26 overall prospect in all of Major League Baseball, according to MLB.com. He has spent the entire 2025 season with the Charlotte Knights, the White Sox’s Triple-A affiliate. In 50 games with them, Teel is hitting .295 (54-for-183) with 10 doubles, eight home runs and 30 RBIs.

🔼 Squad Goals. Virginia women’s lacrosse head coach Sonia LaMonica announced the signing of goalkeeper Elyse Finnelle (Deale, Md.), who will join the Cavaliers for the 2025-26 season.

Finnelle comes to Virginia after graduating from Florida in May, having helped lead the Gators to back-to-back NCAA Semifinal appearances. The 2025 Big 12 Goalkeeper of the Year recorded 109 saves on a .462 save percentage with a 14-1 record across 22 appearances and 16 starts last season for the Gators, earning All-Big 12 Team honors.

Crawford is among the seven staffers who followed Odom from VCU to UVA this spring.

“This place is special,” Crawford said. “We want to protect and add to this legacy that has been established for a very, very long time. We are the stewards of this place. We have to honor that.”
