No. 3 Virginia field hockey needed a win to return to form after a loss to No. 2 North Carolina last week. A home game against No. 7 Liberty provided the perfect opportunity.
The game was a defensive slugfest, with the Flames ranking second in shutouts per game and the Cavaliers ranking third in save percentage.
The initial minutes of the match saw the Cavaliers in the driver’s seat, notching two shots to the Flames’ zero.
