Virginia Cavaliers
The University of Virginia's athletics
program competes in Division I-A and since 1953 as a member of the
Atlantic Coast Conference. Their teams, the Virginia Cavaliers (also
called "Wahoos" or "Hoos") have won 16 recognized NCAA National
Championships, 13 of them since 1980. Virginia has won at least two
national titles each in five different sports, including three men's
sports (boxing, soccer, and lacrosse) and two women's sports (lacrosse
and cross country).
In 2006, the latest championship season culminated with the University
of Virginia's fourth NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship. Virginia handily
won the final game 15-7 over UMass in front of a record crowd of 47,062
at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, the first lacrosse crowd to
surpass the Final Four of men's basketball and the largest crowd to
witness any NCAA Championship during the year.[10] The team finished the
season a perfect 17–0, the best record in NCAA Lacrosse history.
Some of the best known athletic facilities at the University of Virginia
include Scott Stadium, University Hall, Klöckner Stadium, and the
Aquatics and Fitness Center (webcam). John Paul Jones Arena is scheduled
to be completed during 2006.
