Virginia women’s soccer team earns a No. 1 seed in NCAA tournament

A day after losing for the first time this season, Virginia received one of four No. 1 seeds in the NCAA women’s soccer tournament. The Cavaliers (16-1-3) will host Big South champion Radford (16-5-0) on Saturday night at Klockner Stadium.

The Cavaliers, seeking their first NCAA title after 14 consecutive appearances in the round of 16 or better, conceded the second-fewest goals in the country (eight) and built a plus-50 goal differential.

Goalkeeper Laurel Ivory (0.31 goals against average) continues to be evaluated after suffering a head injury late in regulation of a 2-1 extra-time defeat to North Carolina on Sunday in the ACC final.
