The Seminoles opened up the ACC Tournament with No. 6 seed, the Virginia Cavaliers. Kathryn Sandercock got the nod while Molly Grube started for Virginia.
Sandercock and Grube got into a pitchers duel early, both allowing runners, but keeping them from reaching home plate. In the 4th inning, the ‘Noles showed why they’re great in the middle innings. After Sydney Sherrill led off with a double, a ground ball out moved her to third base. The sacrifice fly from Mack Leonard brough Sherrill in from third, and broke the scoreless tie.
Continuing the inning, Devyn Flaherty notched the second double off of Grube.
