The Cavaliers downed Clemson 3-2 Friday before narrowly falling to Georgia Tech Saturday.

The Yellow Jackets pulled out a win by rallying from a six-point deficit in the fifth game to thwart a Virginia comeback. After coming back from behind two games, the Cavaliers stood at 14-8 in the fifth game, one point from a victory, when Georgia Tech flew back in the game by making seven consecutive points. The ACC rivals then swapped leads until the Yellow Jackets finally pulled ahead 22-20 for the win.

Sophomore outside hitter Sarah Kirkwood led the Cavaliers with 22 kills and 17 digs. Kirkwood pulled out double-doubles in both of Virginia's games this weekend.
