CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia returns home on Saturday when the Cavaliers host the Georgetown Hoyas on Senior Day.

Georgetown (8-4) is ranked No. 14 in the coaches poll and No. 13 in the media poll.

Tucker and Van Arsdale are tied for second on the team with 22 goals apiece. Matt Barrett is saving 56.1 percent of shots between the pipes and is posting an 11.09 goals against average.
Georgetown head coach Kevin Warne is in his third season at Georgetown and returns 25 letterwinners and seven starters off of last season’s 4-10 squad. Bo Stafford leads Georgetown with 23 goals and 20 assists for a team-best 43 points. Reilly O’Connor and Peter Conley are tied for second on the team with 19 goals. O’Connor is second on the team with 37 assists. Nick Marrocco is saving 56.8 percent of shots in the cage and is posting a 10.64 goals against average.
