Junior Adam Visokay and graduate student Silas Frantz completed Virginia’s scoring five.
Meanwhile, the No. 16 Virginia women came up empty against Charlotte, James Madison and Liberty. Junior Brooke Grice provided a bright spot for the Cavaliers, placing 10th. Freshman Alexia Roux, sophomores Katie Roche and Sarah Mattison, and graduate student Iona Lake also ran for Virginia.
