Eighth-ranked women’s lacrosse opened up their 2020 campaign with a crazy come-from-behind win over No. 15 Navy. Junior Ashlyn McGovern, who scored five goals in total on the day, netted both the game-tying goal in regulation and game-winner during the overtime session.

No. 11 women’s tennis (6-2) wrapped up their weekend at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships in Chicago with a win over No. 14 Arizona State, 4-3. The win came on the heels of two tough 4-2 losses against third-ranked Georgia and No. 6 Pepperdine.
Falling forward?

The metrics like Virginia more after its close loss to Louisville.
NET ranking: Improved five spots to No. 51
KenPom ranking: Improved two spots to No. 52
KenPom offensive efficiency: Improved 49 spots to No. 227
Defensive efficiency took a minor dip to 3rd.
The silver lining to the Hoos’ loss over the weekend.
Tweet of the Day:
Coming in at No. 10 on #SCTop10 was Payton Cormier's nifty unassited third-quarter goal, which gave the redshirt freshman a hat-trick in his collegiate debut. #GoHoos pic.twitter.com/6P1xaNz5hx
