The Washington and Lee women's tennis team achieved a significant milestone by advancing to the national quarterfinals for the first time in five years. The 14th-ranked Generals defeated No. 10 Trinity (Texas) 4-1 in the NCAA tournament's second round on May 10, before toppling No. 7 Emory 5-4 later that day. Sophomore Sarah Donnelly clinched the decisive match against Emory, showcasing the team's resilience and depth as they continue their postseason run.

In men's lacrosse, senior James Haley set a new single-season points record while leading the 13th-ranked Generals to a commanding 19-10 victory over No. 7 Gettysburg in the NCAA tournament's second round on May 10. Haley's standout performance included four goals and four assists, helping Washington and Lee secure a dominant lead after a strong first half.

This marked a disappointing end to a strong season for the Generals, who finished with a 15-5 record.

In track and field, Reese Brown and Macky Gartley both set program records at the Liberty University Twilight meet on May 7.
