Virginia (8-0, 0-0 ACC) is one of seven remaining unbeaten/untied teams in Division I and looks to win its conference opener for the 11th time in the past 12 years. The Cavaliers completed a perfect non-conference schedule Wednesday with a 5-0 win over Old Dominion. Juniors Makenzy Doniak (Chino Hills, Calif.) and Brittany Ratcliffe (Williamstown, N.J.) each scored against the Monarchs and are tied for the team lead with five goals this season. Senior midfielder Danielle Colaprico (Freehold, N.J.) leads the team with five assists. Reigning Hermann Trophy winner Morgan Brian (St. Simons Island, Ga.), who has a goal and four assists this season, returns to the Cavalier lineup Saturday after missing three games due to international duty with the United States Women’s National Team.
The Cavaliers enter the season riding a 15-game ACC regular season win streak, the fifth longest in conference history. Virginia is also looking to expand on school record streaks of 24 consecutive home wins and 39 consecutive wins over unranked opponents.
The Hurricanes (2-6, 0-0 ACC) are looking for their first conference road win since 2012. Last week Miami concluded the non-conference schedule with losses to Portland and Washington at the Nike Portland Invitational.
Virginia leads the all-time series 9-1-1 and has won all six previous matchups in Charlottesville. Last season the Cavaliers posted a 4-0 win over the Hurricanes at Klöckner Stadium.
Virginia will conclude its five-game homestand on Thursday when it hosts Wake Forest. Game time at Klöckner Stadium is 7 p.m., and the game will be broadcast online through Cavaliers Live.
