The UVA Soccer team got a first-half goal from Brendan Lambe, then rode its defense to finish out a 1-0 win over Stetson on Sunday night at Klöckner Stadium.
The game was played around a 50-minute weather delay with heavy rain and thunderstorms in the Charlottesville area.
The only scoring in the matchup came five minutes before halftime, when Albin Gashi played a corner short to Marco Dos Santos, who passed back to Lambe, who then smashed the ball into the bottom corner from yards outside the penalty area.
Goalkeeper Casper Mols made one save on the night and kept his second consecutive clean sheet for Virginia (2-0-0).
“This is now two shutouts in a row. 2019 was the last time we had two shutouts in a row to start the season, and it’s been a big thing for us,” coach George Gelnovatch said. “It’s not easy early on because you’re not sharp yet, fit yet, or fully organized, so it’s hard. I want it to become a thing, so I’m very happy with that.”
The Cavaliers will be back in action on Thursday when they travel Fairfax to take on George Mason. Kickoff at is set for 7 p.m. on ESPN+.
