Women's soccer fails at Clemson

The No. 14 Cavalier women's soccer team was defeated by No. 15 Clemson Saturday night, 4-0, at Riggs Field. The defeat gives the Cavaliers their first conference loss of the season and brings them to an overall 4-2-1, 1-1 ACC record.

The loss was frustrating because Virginia out-shot Clemson by a 21-11 margin. Both teams went scoreless in the first half but four second-half goals by Clemson gave the Tigers a convincing victory.

Forwards Sarah Lane and Lindsay Gusick each had five shots for Virginia.
