Cavaliers return to Charlottesville to host Maryland after long road trip

Senior pitcher Coty Tolar picked up both wins to move to 4-5 on the year as she threw 9.2 innings, allowing one run on six hits with five strikeouts and no walks. Freshman first baseman Kelly Haller and senior designated player Brooke Sorber led the Cavaliers offensively.
