Field hockey suffers narrow loss

The Virginia field hockey team lost a heartbreaking game to Maryland 4-3 in overtime Friday during the semifinals of the 2008 ACC Tournament.

In their second overtime loss to the Terrapins this season,  the Cavaliers saw goals from junior forward Traci Ragukas and senior back Inge Kaars Sijpesteijn. Ragukas stepped her game up in the ACC Tournament, scoring three goals and helping to all but secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament en route to being named to the all-tournament team.

Yesterday, following the championship game of the ACC Tournament, Virginia midfielder Paige Selenski was named ACC Freshman of the Year, making her the third athlete in program history to win the award.

Virginia now awaits a bid to the NCAA Tournament; results will be announced Tuesday night at 8 p.m. on NCAA.com.
