Women's soccer travels for ACC tilt against Louisville

On Sunday, the Cavaliers (13-1, 5-1 ACC) have the opportunity to extend this impressive run when they travel to Louisville (6-6-2, 2-2-2 ACC) in the first matchup between the two squads as well as Virginia’s first-ever trip to the state of Kentucky.

No. 4 women's soccer dominates NC State

The fourth-ranked Virginia Cavaliers (13-1, 5-1 ACC) did something very impressive this weekend in their matchup with North Carolina State (2-10-2, 0-6 ACC) as they tallied six goals for the second game in a row in ACC play for the first time since 2008.

#GoACC Power Rankings: Week 8

In a move that should have come awhile ago, Florida State was demoted from No. 1 to No. 2 in both the media and coaches polls — because no #GoACC team we’ve seen this year should ever be ranked No. 1 overall, at least on the basis of football performance.


Junior forward Makenzy Doniak scored twice and added an assist in the Virginia victory. The No. 4 Cavaliers put up six goals even without senior forward Morgan Brian, who is currently with the U.S. Women's National Team.

What would Bill Belichick do?

To end an inevitable blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last weekend after a dismal performance by the Patriots offense and 37-year-old Tom Brady, Bill Belichick put in rookie Jimmy Garoppolo, who was drafted in the second round of this past draft to be Brady’s eventual successor.Brady had thrown two interceptions in the game and was in the midst of a mediocre season.


The Virginia midfield looks strong this year, and junior Todd Wharton is a big reason why. It doesn't hurt that senior All-American Eric Bird and freshman Jake Rozhansky play alongside him. The trio has combined for three goals and five assists for the No. 14 Cavaliers, who battle Duke at home Saturday at 7 p.m.
