NOTING THE HOOS

  • UVA earned the five seed in the ACC Tournament and will open play at fourth-seeded Florida State
  • The Hoos enter the ACC Tournament with the nation’s top RPI, moving back into the top spot – a position the Hoos held for four weeks after the release of the initial RPI back on September 15
  • The Cavaliers played the nation’s toughest schedule in the regular season
  • Virginia has played 12 games against teams in the RPI top 50 with a 7-2-3 record in those games and the Cavaliers play their 8th game against a team in the RPI top 13 with FSU on Sunday night
  • Head coach Steve Swanson picked up his 500th career victory against BC to become only the seventh D1 coach to hit that mark and one of only three active D1 coaches with 500+ wins
  • Victoria Safradin posted her ninth shutout of the season and 17th of her career against BC to move into a tie for fifth most shutouts in a career at Virginia and 10th most in a single season
  • Safradin is second in the ACC in shutouts (9), goal against average (.688) and save percent (.828)
  • As a staff, UVA is second the ACC in goal against average (.647) and third in save percentage (.836)
  • Maggie Cagle continues to be efficient in her chances this season, ranking second in the ACC in shot accuracy (.657) and sixth nationally with 20-of-35 shots on frame and eight goals
  • Cagle and Lia Godfrey have been a potent duo for UVA with a combined 54 goals and 61 assists between the two for their careers – both rank in the top five for all active D1 players in career assists
  • Godfrey is No. 2 among all active D1 players in career assists while Cagle is tied for fifth
  • Cagle and Godfrey are one of two active duos in the country to have tallied at least 50 goals and 50 assists in a career with Stanford’s Jasmine Aikey and Andrea Kitahata being the other

THE SERIES WITH FLORIDA STATE

  • Virginia and Florida State have met 42 times with the Cavaliers holding a 21-13-8 lead in the all-time series with the Seminoles
  • The Hoos lead the series 7-4-4 in games in Tallahassee and lead 6-3-4 in games played at Seminole Soccer Stadium
  • The teams met a little more than a week ago with the Seminoles taking a 3-2 victory with a goal in the final 90 seconds of play
  • FSU won the last meeting in Tallahassee a year ago as the Seminoles took the victory 4-0
  • Virginia’s last win in Tallahassee came in the 2019 season with a 1-0 overtime victory and the teams drew in 2021 for UVA to claim the ACC regular season championship that season
