CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The Virginia (18-30, 7-11 ACC) softball team closes the regular season this weekend, traveling to face Virginia Tech (25-27, 10-11 ACC) in a three-game series beginning Friday.
Originally scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, expected inclement weather in the area has caused the three-game set to be played Friday-Saturday.
