The Virginia Women’s Lacrosse team is playing in the NCAA tournament quarterfinals for the first time since 2014, and they face a team they’re very familiar with in third-seeded North Carolina. By virtue of being the highest remaining seed in the pod, the Tar Heels get to host the game, which is set to kick off at noon on Saturday.
Virginia defeated Navy 15-12 last Sunday in the second round, propelled by a career-high six goals from third year Sammy Mueller. Fourth year Maggie Jackson added three goals, and goal keeper Charlie Campbell had nine saves in the game, several late in the game when the Hoos needed stops.
