No. 21 Virginia Wins Commonwealth Clash Game over Virginia Tech 13-10 in women's lacrosse
BLACKSBURG, Va. (WFXR) – The No. 21 Virginia women’s lacrosse team (8-8, 6-4 ACC) closed out the regular season with a 13-10 victory against Virginia Tech (9-8, 3-7 ACC) on Thursday at Thompson Field in Blacksburg, Va. The game was tied 10-10 to start the fourth quarter. UVA freshman Megan Rocklein scored what would be the game-winning goal two minutes into the period, with sophomore Livy LaVerghetta and junior Kate Galica adding two more in the quarter to secure the victory. Galica led the Cavaliers with five goals, including scoring the 100th goal of her career. She scored three of those goals in the first quarter. Junior Madison Alaimo had five assists. The Hokies’ offense struck first, with Mia Pozzi scoring the first goal of the game four and a half minutes into play. The Cavaliers responded quickly, netting three goals in a two-and-a-half-minute span. Virginia led 4-2 at the end of the first quarter, but the Hokies opened the second period on a 4-0 run with goals by Hokies Sarah Murrell, Lauren Render, Colleen Thieke, and Reese Wallich to take a 6-4 lead. Virginia closed the half with three-straight goals, including a score from junior Jenna DiNardo in the final 40 seconds to take a 7-6 lead into the break. UVA led 9-7 midway through the third period when the Hokies rallied to tie the game 9-9 with 6:18 remaining in the quarter and then took a 10-9 lead with 2:24 remaining. Sophomore Gabby LaVerghetta scored with 1:06 remaining to knot it at 10 heading into the final period. This was the final game of the season for the Hokies, but the Cavaliers will continue play next week at the ACC Championships in Charlotte, N.C. The top eight teams in the conference earn spots in the tournament. The Cavaliers finished in a tie for fifth place in the standings with Boston College and Notre Dame. UVA will earn the No. 5 seed in the championship by virtue of its regular-season wins against both the Eagles and the Fighting Irish. UVA will play 4th seeded Syracuse next Wednesday at 2pm.
