Virginia begins six games over span of four days

After a disappointing weekend against Florida State, the Virginia softball team will try to stop a three-game skid with tomorrow's midweek doubleheader against Radford at home. The first game will begin at 4 p.m., with the second game scheduled for 6 p.m. Following Virginia's struggles over the weekend, senior captain Meghan O'Leary said the team is focused on developing a steady level of play going into Wednesday. "I think we really need to pull together -- get all on the same page as far as energy and heart," O'Leary said.

Softball unable to keep up with FSU

Florida State came to Charlottesville riding a seven-game win streak. The Seminoles left with a 10-game streak after taking three straight games from Virginia (7-16, 2-4 ACC), during which the Cavaliers never led and only managed to tie the score once, by a combined score of 22-5. In the first game, Florida State (21-9, 4-2 ACC) jumped all over junior pitcher Karla Wilburn on its way to a 9-1 victory.
