“I am very appreciative of the support our student-athletes and athletics program receive from our fans and donors,” said UVa Athletics Director Craig Littlepage. “Their support and generosity combined with the hard work and dedication of our student-athletes, coaches and staff led to the success we enjoyed in 2010-11 that is chronicled in the Year in Review. This Year in Review continues to represent a combined effort of the athletics department and the Virginia Athletics Foundation.”
