Virginia basketball player profile: Elijah Gertrude is finally healthy and pushing for minutes
Elijah Gertrude has spent most of his Virginia career waiting. He waited on a knee that had to be rebuilt twice. He waited behind a backcourt that won 30 games. And when he did get on the floor, it was usually after the outcome had been decided. This preseason, the wait may finally be ending. […]
Five takeaways from UVA football’s 28-25 win over Syracuse
A week after getting run out of Tallahassee, Virginia came home Saturday night needing a get-right game, and the schedule seemed to hand it one.

Virginia football escapes with a 28-25 win over Syracuse

UVA basketball preseason profile: Can Sam Lewis take another leap?
In the locker room after Virginia basketball’s heartbreaking NCAA Tournament loss to Tennessee, Sam Lewis was the first to verbally recommit to the program.

Five takeaways from UVA football’s 38-7 loss at Florida State

For most of the afternoon, roughly half […]

Former Virginia golfer Lauren Coughlin birdied each of her first nine holes on Saturday to shoot a 9-under 26, the lowest nine-hole score in LPGA history.

Why UVA basketball’s Chance Mallory has breakout potential
Chance Mallory represents the kind of story that is reminiscent of a bygone era. Mallory committed to Virginia on Sept. 20, 2024. Twenty-seven days later, Tony Bennett retired. In most recruitments, that is where the chances of Mallory playing college ball in Charlottesville would have ended. Mallory re-opened his recruitment on Oct. 29, considered Tennessee, […]

Deep diving into UVA’s defensive line ahead of West Virginia
The defense has been nothing short of spectacular so far. Two games into 2026, Virginia has allowed 11 points.
