Virginia, still ranked despite an 0-3 start, picked up win #1 of the 2026 season, defeating Liberty, 17-8, in Lynchburg on Wednesday.

Junior attacker Madison Alaimo logged seven points with four goals and three assists. Junior attacker Addi Foster scored three goals. Kate Galica won 13 draw controls.

Virginia jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first quarter and led 8-2 at halftime.

Freshman Raleigh Foster scored her first career goal to open the second half. Freshman Megan Rocklein had her first career points, assisting on a pair of goals.

“It’s fulfilling to see this team’s hard work paying off with a solid win tonight,” coach Sonia Lamonica said. “We can still improve on finishing better in some moments, but this group is continuing to pound the rock and focused on getting better each day.”
