No. 9 North Carolina beat the No. 4 women’s lacrosse team 12-8 Saturday in Chapel Hill, N.C.
With the loss, Virginia (5-2, 1-2 ACC) has dropped two of its last three conference games.
The Cavaliers had a difficult time executing because of sloppy weather conditions, as both squads were forced to brave a steady rainfall and accommodate for a puddle-filled field. North Carolina junior goalkeeper Logan Ripley proved tough to handle, as well, as she recorded eight saves for the Tar Heels (5-2, 1-0 ACC), stifling the Cavaliers’ offensive attack. Virginia senior midfielder Blair Weymouth led her team with four goals, while junior midfielder Kaitlin Duff added two goals to go along with a team-high four draw controls.
The Cavaliers will have to recover quickly to take on in-state rival William & Mary at home Tuesday.
