#HoosOnTheDunes

The Virginia women’s soccer team opened its training camp in Maple City, Michigan, over the weekend as the team prepares for the 2018 season opener on August 17. Members of the team trained at Myles-Kimberly Park and did some team building and further training at the Sleeping Bear Dunes.
