The Cavaliers were led by middle blocker Alana Walker, who posted a team-high eight kills on 14 swings and added one block.

  • Despite trailing 4-10 to start the second, Virginia orchestrated a 10-2 run to take a 14-12 lead in the middle of the set. However, the Seminoles flipped the scoreboard, 18-20, amid a 4-0 run of their own.
