Virginia field hockey student-athletes Inge Kaars Sijpesteijn and Traci Ragukas were both selected to the ACC All-Tournament team after the Cavaliers advanced to the ACC semifinals this weekend in Chapel Hill, NC. Playing in their first ACC Championships, Kaars Sijpesteijn and Ragukas helped lead the Hoos to the semifinals with an upset of No. 7 Boston College, the fourth seed in the tournament. This is the first such honor for both of them.
Kaars Sijpesteijn scored three of Virginia’s four goals on the weekend, including both goals in the 2-1 win over the Eagles. She was named to the All-Conference team earlier in the week. Ragukas is one of the top rookies in the nation, ranking second among all first-years in goals and goals per game. She was named the National Rookie of the Week by womensfieldhockey.com earlier this season.
The Cavaliers will find out their seeding in the NCAA field when it is announced on Tuesday, Nov. 7 at 7:30 pm.
