#HoosCare

Former @UVAMensTennis standout Somdev Devvarman is working to make a difference in India. Devvarman is championing a cause called Life is A Ball where he is working to support those who support the sport of tennis, “tennis markers, ball kids and support staff – the heartbeat of any tennis body in the country”. He speaks about the program in the video above. For more information on the charity, click here.

Former @UVAMensTennis player JC Aragone shared how he is working through #SocialDistancing in this amusing Tik-Tok/Twitter vid. If you need a good chuckle, give it a watch.

Hoos a Legend

blog

The day of the WNBA draft is an excellent time to reflect on the career of @UVAWomensHoops Jocelyn Willoughby, who is expected to be taken in said draft. It took two articles from the Daily Progress’ Bennett Conlin to sum her up, one that looked at her on-court accolades (leading the ACC in scoring, top-10 career in coring and rebounding, etc., etc.) and another to just touch the tip of the iceberg on her off-the-court legacy.
