Virginia hosted red-hot in-state rival Radford for a midweek matchup Tuesday night. The match had all the makings of a battle, with both teams coming into Tuesday night playing some of their best soccer of the season.

It’s no secret that it has been as rough season for the Virginia volleyball team thus far. The team has lost 11 games in a row en route to a 3-13 start to their season, and have been searching for a way to salvage their season as ACC play opened up.
Although Virginia led for most of the game, the Tar Heels (6-2-3, 1-1-2 ACC) scored the tying goal in the 82nd minute to send the game into double overtime.
Prevalent turnovers and poor timing between junior quarterback Kurt Benkert and his receiving corps, plus a lack of cohesion on the front lines, led in part to Virginia’s 0-3 start to the season.
