CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Xavier men's soccer gave No. 12 Virginia all it could handle Friday night, striking first at Klöckner Stadium before settling for a 1-1 draw after narrowly missing a couple go-ahead chances in both overtimes.
With the result, the Musketeers moved to 1-1-1 on the young season, while Virginia went to 1-0-1.
After Matt Vasquenza put XU up 1-0 in the 58th minute, Virginia quickly responded in what was a back-and-forth showdown all night.
Virginia goalkeeper Jeff Caldwell had a brilliant night in net, saving six shots and erasing two potential game-winners for the Musketeers.
