FAYETTEVILLE — Forward Anna Podojil scored in the fifth minute for the first of three Arkansas goals and the Razorbacks shut out Virginia Tech 3-0 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday at Razorback Field.
Arkansas (18-4-0) will play Notre Dame on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. in Fayetteville in the Sweet 16. The Fighting Irish won 4-3 in penalty kicks over Purdue on the same field Friday.
Podojil, a first-team All-American last season and a former track star, displayed her speed as she raced past the Hokies’ back line and smashed a 20-yard half-volley over the head of Virginia Tech goalkeeper Alia Skinner, who had come off her line.
