Field hockey wins first game of ACC Tournament

Selenski to Ragukas was the name of the game in Durham, N.C. yesterday as the Virginia field hockey team downed Duke 5-2 to advance to the semifinals of the ACC Tournament.

The Cavaliers followed up their win last weekend against Duke with another impressive performance to all but secure a bid to the NCAA Tournament. Virginia got on the board quickly, as junior forward Traci Ragukas scored two minutes into the game on an assist from freshman forward Paige Selenski. Selenski and Ragukas finished the game with three goals and two assists between them. The Cavaliers also got an impressive performance from senior goalkeeper Amy Desjadon as she was able record eight saves and propel the team to victory.

Virginia is set to face No. 1 seed Maryland tomorrow at 4 p.m. The Cavaliers took the Terrapins to overtime earlier in the season, losing 4-3.
