Men's Tennis
Final Four
May 24th
What a weekend!
Men’s Lacrosse earned a trip to the Final Four with a stirring victory over Stony Brook. Then the Men’s Tennis team earned yet another berth in the Final Four by defeating UCLA.
Oh yeah, the baseball team had a pretty good weekend, too. More on that later.
I know a lot of fans are down on the UVa athletic department based upon recent horrific results in football and men’s basketball. Let’s be honest, though: this athletic department is outstanding. I am constantly amazed at the level of success achieved in non-revenue sports. Makes a man proud to be a Wahoo.
Director’s Cup Update
Apr 30th
The updated Director’s Cup standings have been released, and UVa has dropped to 8th (they were 5th previously). Eighth, of course, is the highest finish Virginia has ever accomplished in this particular competition (UVa was 8th last year and in 1999).
The baseball, lacrosse, and tennis teams are almost assured of garnering more points for the University, so Virginia appears to be almost a lock for their highest Cup finish ever. That’s a credit to the individual coaches, but also to Craig Littlepage who, as AD, has presided over the rise to prominence of the Athletic Department as a whole (even as the football and basketball programs have cratered).
