Field Hockey earns second consecutive shutout
After a scoreless first half against Southwest Missouri State in which Virginia collected three consecutive short corners before the break, the Cavaliers roared back to capture the only goal of the game.
Keeper Emily White, who ranks 11th for saves in Virginia history, stopped 12 shots, giving the Cavaliers their second consecutive shutout of the season.
Senior Cara Unterkofler gained control of the ball following a tackle, passing it off to ever-reliable midfielder Kelli Hill, who in turn dribbled upfield. Freshman Sara York found the ball and ran it up 35 yards to send a reverse stick shot around the keeper for the game-winning goal, the first of her career.
