The Virginia volleyball team will close out its season on the road beginning this weekend against Wake Forest and Duke. The Cavaliers (13-14, 7-10 ACC) are coming off a two-loss weekend during which they dropped matches against Clemson, 3-1, and Georgia Tech, 3-0. Facing Clemson Friday night, Virginia took the first set but was unable to overcome a strong surge by the Tigers.

During the Georgia Tech match, the Cavaliers came close in two sets but were unable to win the critical points to close them out. "With Georgia Tech, I think there was a lack of focus at specific times, and on defense I think some people weren't focused," sophomore setter Rachel Gray said.
