🔼 Top-10 Win. No. 3 Virginia field hockey earned its 10th win of the season on Tuesday, beating No. 7 Liberty at Turf Field, 1-0.

Caroline Nemec scored less than nine minutes into the game, while the Hoos held the Flames scoreless.

🔼 Level Match. Sebastian Pop’s goal in the 10th minute gave Virginia an early lead, but a second-half Spartan goal forced a draw on Thursday night at Klöckner Stadium. The No. 9 Cavaliers battled No. 19 UNCG to a 1-1 stalemate and remain unbeaten in their last nine outings.
