CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The Virginia women’s soccer team suffered its first ACC loss of the season, falling to Miami 1-0 Sunday at Cobb Stadium. The loss drops the Cavaliers’ record to 7-3-2, 2-1-1 in the ACC. Miami improves to 7-4-0, 1-3-0 in the conference.
In the first half of play, the Cavaliers had the better of the chances, outshooting the Hurricanes 6-1, but the teams went to the break scoreless. Miami got on the board in the 54th minute as Rachael Rigamat got a breakaway. Christina de Vries (Westlake Village, Calif.) made the save on Rigamat’s initial shot, but she was able to knock the ball in on the rebound. The Cavaliers continued to pressure for the remainder of the game, but could not notch the equalizer.
Virginia outshot the Hurricanes 14-6 in the game, and had an 8-2 corner kick advantage. Both de Vries and Miami goalkeeper Lauren McAdam made two saves in net.
The Cavaliers return home on Thursday, October 5 when they host No. 2 North Carolina. Game time at Klockner Stadium is 7 p.m.

Game Notes: The game was Virginia’s first trip to Miami … the game was the furthest south the Cavaliers have ever played a NCAA game (the team played exhibition games further south during the team’s 2004 preseason trip to Brazil) … the Cavaliers were shutout for the second consecutive game … the Cavaliers are now winless in their last six games on the road (0-4-2), dating back to last season.
