The Cavaliers are led by three-time ACC Player of the Week Meghan Lenczyk, who has 12 goals and four assists on the season. A total of five players have three or more goals on the season as Virginia has totaled 39 for the year.
Goal keeper Chantel Jones sports an impressive 0.58 goals against average and has recorded eight shutouts on the year.
