  • UVA opened the season with a 5-0 win over Nevada that saw braces from freshman Allie Ross and sophomore Meredith McDermott. Brianna Jablonowski also scored in the match.
  • The five points from Ross was the most by a player since Alexa Spaanstra tallied five points against NC State last season on October 2.
