Conference match looms large for Virginia

Coming off of Tuesday night's shutout victory that included a hat trick by forward Yannick Reyering, the Virginia men's soccer team faces ACC foe Duke tonight at Klöckner Stadium. Having lost to Boston College a week ago, Tuesday night's success against Liberty has put the Cavaliers (9-3-2, 1-2-2 ACC) back on track to secure their next ACC victory. Boston College, boasting a 5-0 conference record and 15 points, and Wake Forest, 4-1 overall with 13 points, currently lead the ACC.

The next challenge for the Cavalier cross country teams comes at the ACC Championships, to be held this Saturday in Charlottesville.
