Miami finds winning combination, gets first ACC win in defeat over Virginia

After weeks of struggling, the Miami Hurricanes (3-3, 1-2) finally look like a team that can win games.

Head coach Manny Diaz credits the fight his players showed as a key factor in the 17-9 win over Virginia (4-2, 2-1) Friday night at Hard Rock Stadium.

“We talked about being persistent,” Diaz said. “The execution is going to get better but as long as the intangibles are there, as long as the fight and the attitude of never giving up and all that type of stuff, you can win with that and that’s what we did tonight.
