The women’s soccer team defeated ACC foe Miami Sunday, 2-0, improving to 2-0 in the ACC.
The Hurricanes fell to 7-3-2 (0-1-1 ACC) with the loss.
Just 10 minutes into the contest, Virginia sophomore forward Meghan Lenczyk scored her team-leading eighth goal of the season off an assist from freshman forward Lauren Alwine to put the No. 15 Cavaliers (8-1-1) up 1-0 early. In the 35th minute, senior midfielder Alli Fries headed a corner kick from junior forward Amanda Stewart into the back of the net for a second score.
Two goals proved to be more than enough for the Cavaliers. Backed by three saves by senior goalkeeper Celeste Miles, the Virginia defense allowed only four shots in the game while the offense kept the ball on Miami’s side of the field, outshooting the Hurricanes 21-4 and taking six corner kicks to Miami’s two.
Virginia, which swept its Florida tilts with Florida State and Miami, will hold its ACC home-opener against N.C. State Thursday at 7 p.m.
