CHARLOTTESVILLE – The third-ranked Virginia women’s soccer team concludes the 2014 regular season Saturday as it hosts Pittsburgh. Game time at Klöckner Stadium is 7 p.m., and there will be a live video broadcast of the contest via a Cavaliers Live subscription on VirginiaSports.com.
Tickets for the game are $7 for adult general admission and $5 for youth, senior and faculty/staff general admission. Group tickets (20 or more) are $4. Free parking is available in the University Hall lots.
Prior to the game, Virginia will honor its four fourth-years with a Senior Night ceremony. Midfielders Morgan Brian (St. Simons Island, Ga.), Danielle Colaprico (Freehold, N.J.) and Campbell Millar (McLean, Va.) and forward Mary Morgan (Norfolk, Va.) will be recognized prior to their final regular season appearance at Klöckner Stadium.
Virginia (16-1, 8-1 ACC) is riding a six-game win streak and has clinched a spot in the four-team ACC Tournament. The Cavaliers lead the ACC and rank second nationally in scoring offense at 3.35 goals per game. Junior Makenzy Doniak (Chino Hills, Calif.) leads the league in scoring with 32 points on 12 goals and eight assists, while Colaprico leads the ACC with 14 assists. Brian will return to the Virginia lineup on Saturday after missing the last five games while on international duty with the United States Women’s National Team at CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying.
The Panthers are 6-11 this season and 2-6 in the ACC after a 2-1 loss to No. 20 Clemson Sunday in their home finale. Pitt has lost five consecutive games after wins at Syracuse and NC State, their first two ACC wins since joining the conference.
Saturday’s game is the second overall meeting between the schools and the first in Charlottesville. Last season the Cavaliers rallied from an early 1-0 deficit to win 3-1 in Pittsburgh as Doniak scored twice and Brian added a goal.
Virginia will begin postseason play next week at the ACC Tournament in Greensboro, N.C. The Cavaliers will be joined by Florida State, North Carolina and Notre Dame in the four-team event. The semifinals will be Nov. 7 with games at 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. The championship game will be Nov. 9 at 1 p.m. The bracket will be announced Sunday following the conclusion of regular season play.
