CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.–Sophomore forward Angela Hucles (Virginia Beach, Va./Norfolk Academy) took a pass from freshman Darci Borski (Philadelphia, Pa./ Nazareth Academy) and blasted the ball into the upper right corner of the goal at 78th minute mark to give the #13 University of Virginia a 1-0 victory over the University of Richmond today in the second round of the Coca-Cola at Klockner Stadium.
