CHARLOTTESVILLE — The fourth ranked Virginia men’s soccer team opens a three-game homestand Tuesday as it hosts Mount St. Mary’s. Game time at Klckner Stadium is set for 7 p.m.

The Cavaliers (5-1-1) are coming off a 2-2 tie Saturday at NC State in their ACC Opener. Virginia rallied from a first half deficit with second half goals by Chase Neinken (Roswell, Ga.) and Yannick Reyering (Mettingen, Germany). For Neinken, it was his first career goal, while Reyering tallied his team leading fifth of the year.

The Mountaineers (2-2-1) haven’t played since Wednesday, when they posted a 2-1 win at Iona. Eric Detzel and Jimmy Zabel scored for the Mount.

Tuesday’s game will be the sixth all-time meeting between the schools. Virginia has won all five previous meetings, with the last matchup a 4-0 Cavalier victory at Klckner Stadium in 2005.

Virginia will return to ACC play on Friday night as it hosts Virginia Tech. Game time at Klckner Stadium is 7 p.m. and the game will be broadcast live online by ACC Select.
