The Virginia men’s soccer team lost 1-0 yesterday to No. 4 Maryland in the ACC championship game in Cary, N.C.
The single goal came in the third minute from junior midfielder Jeremy Hall.
Though Virginia (11-8-1, 4-4 ACC) lost to the Terrapins, the Cavaliers picked up a huge, 3-2 double overtime win against No. 1 Wake Forest Friday in the semifinals of the tournament. Wake Forest scored first during the 53rd minute on a goal by senior forward Marcus Tracy, but Virginia surged ahead with two straight goals, one by junior midfielder Jonathan Villanueva during the 69th minute, and one by sophomore forward Chase Neiken during the 82nd minute. The Demon Deacons refused to go down without a fight, knotting the score at 2-2 during the 89th minute when freshman defender Danny Wenzel scored his first goal of the season. The two teams battled through a scoreless first overtime before Virginia senior midfielder Matt Poole netted a penalty kick during the 106th minute to clinch the win for Virginia and hand the Demon Deacons their first defeat of the season.
Virginia now awaits a possible invitation to the NCAA Tournament, which begins this weekend.
