In what will go down as a classic at Scott Stadium, Virginia football fought their way past the Florida State Seminoles on Saturday evening, 31-24, to maintain a perfect record. Following the win, UVA moved up to No. 21 in the AP Poll and landed 4-star defensive end Brandon Williams, who was in Charlottesville this past weekend for his official visit.
Sixth-ranked men’s soccer moved to 4-0-0 on Friday night, when they knocked off Duke on the road, 3-1. With the win, the Hoos now own victories over teams ranked first (Maryland) and second (Duke) in the nation at the time of their contests.
HIGHLIGHTS: 3️⃣ unanswered goals lift No. 6 Virginia to 3-1 road victory over No. 2 Duke! #GoHoos

It seems Virginia’s soccer programs are doing alright.
Just ask junior midfielder Sydney Zandi, whose game-winner in the late stages of the second half propelled the No. 4 women’s team over eighth-ranked Penn State, 2-1, on Sunday. UVA now stands at 8-0-0 on the season.
