🔼 Despite Hits, an Ultimate Miss. Virginia (46-17) suffered its second loss of the NCAA Tournament and was eliminated from the 2024 Men’s College World Series, falling to Florida State (48-16) by a score of 7-3 yesterday afternoon.

The Cavaliers out-hit the Seminoles 10-7 in the contest, and seven of the nine UVA starters recorded a hit. Virginia dropped back-to-back games for only the second time this season and the first time since falling in the first two games at Miami on March 8 & 9. 

🔼 Trial By Success. Virginia has 12 current or former student-athletes who will compete at the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials, which will start Friday, June 21, and run through Sunday, June 30, at Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon.

While he has garnered West Region Men’s Coach of the Year honors in his career, this marks his first Southeast Region Track honors while at Virginia. 

🔼 Hoops Roster Takes Unfortunate Hit. University of Virginia Dean and head basketball Coach Tony Bennett announced Friday that sophomore Elijah Gertrude will miss the 2024-25 season due to a knee injury sustained in a scooter accident.

We like our Brew hot ‘n’ fresh, but we’re not opposed to you reheating your cup. Here’s some news you may have missed recently…

⛳️ Men’s Golf Makes History. With the news of the 2024-25 men’s golf schedule being released, it sure doesn’t hurt to revisit this killer news from just a couple of weeks ago: For the first time in program history, Virginia had four golfers named to the PING All-America squad for the 2024 season.
