"We were knocking on the door for the third one. It’s tough to take.”
Virginia showed impressive grit to overcome a great conference opponent.
It has been six years since Virginia’s football, men’s soccer, women’s soccer and field hockey programs have been ranked simultaneously.
Swanson’s milestone framed the night.
Beneath the eerie glow of the Scott Stadium lights and within the hallowed walls of John Paul Jones arena, some nights were better left forgotten.
“On the run we’ve had, it was nice to get back, get a win and stabilize ourselves a bit as we prepare for our last home game,” Swanson said.
The loss dropped the Cavaliers to seventh in the ACC.
“I’m confident in our team,” Coach Steve Swanson said. “And [I] know we are capable of raising our level.”
Virginia's nearly two-month unbeaten run finally came to an end.
The Cavaliers fell flat in frustrating fashion Thursday night.
The Cavaliers have not lost to the Hokies since 2018.
“This is never an easy place to play, and Clemson was well organized,” Coach Steve Swanson said.
It appears that his team has been doing a lot of, well, doing.
The Cavaliers are rocking an 8-0-1 record.

Virginia has survived three straight ranked matchups unbeaten to establish itself as a true conference and national title contender.
"It's made a big difference."
