| Away at Syracuse and home vs NC is a grueling next 10 days. If they continue to play like they have for the last two games - excellence in goal, unselfish zippy offense - they should be great games to watch. |

Just an FYI, last weekends UVA's regular win over Duke was first time since April 17, 2004.
That is almost unfathomable. UVA has beaten Duke at other times - ACC tournament But it was 22 years since UVA had beaten Duke in the regular season. |
What's going on at UVA? Are they still considered on of the top programs? I haven't kept up in past years. Seems like 90s and 2000s they were one of the top programs. Don't hear about them as much any more. |
Yes - they are still a top program. NCAA champions in 2019 and 2021. NCAA Quarterfinals in 2022. NCAA semifinals in 2023. NCAA Quarterfinals in 2024. Missed tournament last year, and 2026 has been a mixed bag so far, but they did just beat ND and Duke on back-to-back weekends. UVA’s bar couldn’t be higher, so when there’s a down year (like all programs have), it gets more attention. |
They were in the semifinals in 2024. |
| What a run they had. UVA fans take it for granted, but that 5 year stretch around the 2020 Covid year may never be replicated. Champs, Champs, QF, SF, SF. Would love to see them add to the aura this year. |
