It was a bad weekend for Virginia Cavaliers sports. Tony Elliott’s wards laid an egg in Champaign. Virginia’s field hockey team had a harder road to hoe as they lost to Northwestern, albeit the #1 team in the country. Women’s soccer had a chance to atone for these losses, but instead the ‘Hoos drew against a very scrappy VCU team on Sunday.
VCU is a quality mid-major program. The Rams won the Atlantic 10 regular season last year, and they came into the game on a five-game undefeated streak having knocked off a fellow ACC team in Pittsburgh.
