📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Border Battle. Virginia women’s soccer welcomes border foe West Virginia to Charlottesville tonight at 6 p.m.
The Hoos sit at 3-0-1 early in the season, with a 4-0 win over George Mason on Sunday serving as the momentum for the matchup with the Mountaineers tonight.
West Virginia is 2-2, with wins over Saint Francis and Duquesne.
🔼 Bounce Back Opportunity. The Virginia men’s soccer team has an opportunity to get back in the win column this evening, as it hosts George Mason at 8 p.m.
The Hoos are 1-1, with a season-opening win over Iona under their belt. George Mason is 0-1, its loss coming against UMBC one week ago.
🔼 Setting The Standard. Abby Tadder wishes she had less free time.
She says this while being an economics major at UVA, while also starring as a middle blocker on the Virginia volleyball team. She’s also minoring in general business, belongs to Delta Gamma sorority, had a fellowship with UVA’s Contemplative Sciences Center last year and coaches club volleyball when she’s home in California.
