Virginia overcame a 29-7 deficit at halftime to defeat Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, 36-32, in the game called “The Comeback”. The Hokies took a 17–0 lead early and led at halftime 29–7. The Cavaliers then came out on fire and outscored the Hokies 29–3 in the second half.

The women’s basketball team jumped out to a 13-point lead in the first quarter, but the Hokies came back to take a one-point lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter in the Feb. 23 game in Blacksburg. Virginia shot over 70 percent from the field in the final 10 minutes to outscore Virginia Tech 22-13 and log the 86-76 road victory.

10 a.m. – 12 p.m. – 2019 Women’s Soccer, ACC Semifinal – Virginia vs. Florida State

4 p.m. – 5 p.m. – 1186 to Omaha – 2015 Virginia Baseball
Narrated by Karl Ravech, 1186 to Omaha, chronicles Virginia Baseball’s incredible run to the 2015 National Championship.

The long and challenging road led to the ultimate coronation – an Omaha dogpile.
5 p.m. – 7 p.m. – 2019 NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship – Yale vs. Virginia
The No. 3 seeded Virginia Cavaliers captured the program’s sixth NCAA title with a 13-9 triumph over No. 5 seeded Yale, thwarting the Bulldogs’ quest for back-to-back titles. It was UVA’s first NCAA title since 2011 and fifth since 1999. UVA set the tone early with a 6-2 run that covered the entire first half. A 5-0 Virginia run in the second half solidified the title for the Cavaliers.
7 p.m. – 9 p.m. – 1995 College Football – FSU vs. Virginia (Upon Further Review)
UVA knocked off the No. 2 Seminoles 33-28 before a frenzied sellout crowd at Scott Stadium. The Cavaliers became the first ACC team to defeat FSU since the Seminoles joined the conference in 1991, ending a streak of 29 consecutive league wins. The game’s final play featured a crazy finish where FSU’s Warrick Dunn was stopped just short of the goal line by UVA’s Anthony Poindexter and Adrian Burnim.

Guy, the tournament MVP, scored 11 of his 16 points in the second half.
