In a clash of national championship contenders, Virginia field hockey journeyed down to Chapel Hill, N.C. Friday for a showdown against North Carolina. Most of the competition played out in the second half of the game, during which the No. 4 Cavaliers (12-3, 5-2 ACC) could not find their footing as the No. 2 Tar Heels (13-0, 6-0 ACC) continued their undefeated season with a 4-0 stomping of the visitors.

But most importantly, there was one consensus question being asked — where do we go from here?
Closing out their home campaign, No. 4 Virginia field hockey celebrated its eight seniors Sunday at the last home game of the season against Miami (Ohio).

Virginia women’s soccer took on Florida State Thursday night, carrying a two-game winning streak into the game. Despite the momentum, the No. 23 Cavaliers (10-5-0, 3-5-0 ACC) had no answers for the No. 22 Seminoles (9-2-2, 4-2-1), falling 4-0 and conceding their most goals in a game this season.
