Charlottesville, Va. — The University of Virginia says hall of fame men’s lacrosse coach Dom Starsia is out after leading the Cavaliers to four national championships, 13 Final Fours and six Atlantic Coast Conference titles in 24 seasons as coach.

Athletic director Craig Littlepage made the announcement Monday.

The 64-year-old Starsia leaves as the winningest coach at the NCAA Division I level. He compiled a 101-46 record in 10 seasons at Brown, his alma mater, and was 274-103 in his time with the Cavaliers. Virginia won the national championship in 1999, 2003, 2006 and 2011. Starsia said he was notified by Littlepage of his intention to make a coaching change when the season ended.

Virginia finished 7-8 this season and 0-4 in ACC play. The Cavaliers won only one of 15 league games the last four seasons.

OlympicsU.S. Senate, USOCShare Zika Concerns

Washington — A group of Democratic senators is concerned about how the Zika virus might affect American athletes at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro later this summer.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., was one of 11 senators to sign a letter sent Monday to the U.S. Olympic Committee asking what steps it is taking to protect athletes against the spread of the mosquito-borne virus.

USOC CEO Scott Blackmun responded by outlining steps the federation has taken, including the forming of an infectious disease advisory group with doctors who are available to answer athletes’ questions about the virus.

Gold-Medal SailorRobbed in Rio

Rio de Janeiro — Spain’s Olympic gold-medal winning sailor Fernando Echavarri says he’s “lucky to have survived” after being robbed at gunpoint in Rio de Janeiro as he and two fellow Spaniards walked to breakfast.

Echavarri spoke with The Associated Press on Monday — three days after the incident — and says “we were too confident, and being confident in Rio is not a good thing.”

Echavarri and members of the Spanish team have been training in Rio for almost two weeks, preparing for South America’s first Olympics, which open in 2½ months.

Street violence is endemic in Rio. About 85,000 soldiers and police will guard the city during the Olympics, and last week the head of security for the state of Rio de Janeiro called for soldiers to immediately start patrolling the city.

CollegesTexas Chooses New Bevo

Austin, Texas — The University of Texas says a new longhorn steer mascot has been selected and will be introduced at the 2016 season-opener against Notre Dame on Sept. 4.

Ricky Brennes, executive director of the Silver Spurs Alumni Association, describes Bevo XV as “very gentle, smart and curious.”

School officials had to select a new mascot after Bevo XIV died in October 2015. He had been on the Texas sideline since 2004.

The mascot returns for the 100th anniversary season of its first appearance, a 21-7 win over Texas A&M.
