Ranked 17th nationally in the preseason NSCAA poll, UVA also plays host to No. 10 Georgetown on Saturday (Aug. 20). Admission is free.

Virginia opened its exhibition schedule last Saturday at home against Longwood, scoring a 3-0 win. Paddy Foss (Sr., South Riding, Va.), Simeon Okoro (So., Weston, Conn.) and Jerren Nixon Jr. (Atlanta, Ga.) each scored for the Cavaliers.
