With its home schedule complete, the Virginia softball team will head to College Park this weekend for a three-game series against Maryland.

The Cavalier softball team split a doubleheader with Liberty in Lynchburg Wednesday, winning the first game 7-6before coming up short in the second game 9-6. Virginia (13-28, 4-8 ACC) held off a late rally by Liberty (8-25-1, 2-1 Big South) to take the win in the first game.

The Virginia softball team got off to an inauspicious start in the Cavalier Classic Thursday afternoon against Georgetown, as the Hoyas broke a 0-0 tie in the final inning with four runs to defeat the Cavaliers 4-0. Virginia (7-17) started off strong, in part because of an impressive pitching performance from junior starting pitcher Karla Wilburn, who threw six scoreless innings before giving up three runs in the top of the seventh.
