The No. 13 Virginia field hockey team came through with a 4-3 victory in its regular-season finale in a must-win game against No. 4 Duke 4-3 Saturday.

Freshman back Floor Vogels contributed the game-winner from the corner as the Cavaliers held off the Blue Devils, who had erased an early 3-0 Virginia lead. Senior back Inge Kaars Sijpesteijn, junior midfielder/forward Traci Ragukas, and sophomore midfielder Haley Carpenter also scored for the Cavaliers.

The win gives Virginia (12-7, 2-3 ACC) a fourth-place finish in the ACC and another date with Duke (14-4, 2-3 ACC) in the first round of the ACC Tournament, which begins Thursday and will be played in Durham, N.C.
