The series is a top-five matchup between fourth-ranked Virginia (25-6, 8-4 ACC) and second-ranked Georgia Tech (26-3, 11-1). It marks the first-ever games between top-five teams at Davenport Field.
Davenport Field has a seating capacity of 4,219 after the addition of 679 General Admission seats this week. Fans planning to attend games this weekend are strongly encouraged to arrive early and purchase tickets ahead of time online at VirginiaSports.com to avoid lines.
