On the heels of a heartbreaking loss in the ACC quarterfinals to Syracuse, Virginia field hockey managed to snag an at-large bid during the selection show — staving off the end of the season a little longer.

The Honor Committee met Sunday to discuss the implementation of a new sanctioning policy passed Oct. 23, which introduced a “pre-sanctioning” process and expanded the role of the Counsel for the Community in sanctioning decisions.
