The Virginia Cavaliers won the 2023-2024 Commonwealth Clash, an annual all-sport competition between the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech. This is the second consecutive year the Cavaliers have won the Commonwealth Clash.
UVA picked up three points from this week’s clash. The Virginia women’s lacrosse team defeated Virginia Tech 14-12 in Blacksburg on Wednesday night, and the UVA women’s golf team outscored Virginia Tech in stroke play at the ACC Championship on Saturday, followed by Virginia men’s golf. The team outplayed Virginia Tech in stroke play in Sunday’s ACC Championship and battled for clinching points.
The win gave the Cavaliers a 12-6.5 lead over the Hokies in the Commonwealth Clash, but it will be overturned in this year’s Clash (softball, track and field, baseball) with only 3.5 points left to decide. It was an incredible lead.
The Commonwealth Clash, which has been held since 2014, was won by Virginia Tech in 2017, 2018, and 2022, and was won by Virginia Tech in 2015, 2016, 2019, 2023, and now in 2024. The state is winning.
