After earning the lead before halftime, the Virginia Cavaliers struggled in the final two frames of play and came up short against Notre Dame on Saturday, 35-20. The result pushed them back down to No. 23 in the AP Poll.
No. 1 Virginia women’s soccer top-ten clash with tenth-ranked Duke ended in a scoreless draw, on Sunday. Junior goalkeeper Laurel Ivory’s stop in a one-on-one situation during the first overtime session helped preserve the tie for the Cavaliers.
