It continues to have been a while since #9 Virginia lost a match.
The ‘Hoos (8-1-4) extended their unbeaten streak to 10 with a 2-1 win over Denver (7-7-1) at Klöckner Stadium on Sunday.
The star of the afternoon: UVA captain Umberto Pelà, who scored a goal and set up a strike from Reese Miller.
The two Cavaliers goals came three minutes apart, in the 54th and 57th minutes.
Denver pulled to 2-1 on a goal in the 59th minute from Ian Welch.
“What people may not understand is that is not a ranked team, but they’re Top 20 in the RPI, and a lot of those guys played in the College Cup last season. This team is formidable and a tough team to break down. It was important to take a two-goal lead today, and I’m proud of the way our team played,” Virginia coach George Gelnovatch said.
So, yes, nice win.
The Cavaliers will be back in action on Saturday when they host Clemson (7-3-2, 4-1-1 ACC, RPI: 16) for senior night at Klöckner Stadium.
Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. on ACCNX.
