OT: Commonwealth Clash 2018-2019

My apologies, everyone. I've been slammed at work and haven't had a chance to put together a true write-up for The Clash this year. Still really don't have time, but I noticed we have a lull until the next event and wanted to let everyone know where we stand.

Below is the historical performance of each school from 14-15 through this year. LOLUVa has already scored a spring point due to how early in the season the women's tennis teams met.

Some points of interest:

• Last year LOLUVa complained that The Clash was rigged because teams like their dominant women's soccer squad didn't get to contribute. Yeah, well our lady hokies beat the hoos in soccer when they did play this year. So there.
• For the second time in 3 years, we managed to draw the men's soccer team.
• For the second year in a row, we tied the winter 3.5-3.5

We have 8 events remaining so The Clash is still very much up in the air. Track and Field and Golf are scored based on who finishes better in the ACC championships. Baseball and Softball points go to whoever wins the series. Lacrosse and Tennis points go to the winner of the regular season game between the two.

We need 4 points in the spring to win. 3.5 results in a tie and I'll have to check on ACC championships to see where we stand there. Let's just assume Golf is off the table. Baseball and Softball aren't looking too hot this year, but maybe we can eek out a split on one or both. Women's lacrosse is looking good. Track and Field is always a strong showing for us, but LOLUVa has pushed us in recent years so those aren't guarunteed. We actually pulled off a point in Men's tennis last year. I don't see 4 easy points anywhere here. So that will keep things interesting come April/May.
