Alex Spaanstra scored in the 12th minute, and the UVA defense made the early goal hold up, in a 1-0 win at Miami on Thursday.
The eighth-ranked ‘Hoos (13-2-3, 6-2-2 ACC) got the eighth clean sheet of the year from goalkeeper Cayla White.
Spaanstra now has 35 career goals to tie for 10th all-time at UVA, and her 104 points is sixth all-time.
“It was a good win tonight,” UVA coach Steve Swanson said. “Miami is a very organized, well-coached team and this is a difficult place to get a result. We had a good start to the game thanks to just an unreal strike from Alexa and the team collectively did well to get the shutout. We are happy to finish conference play with a win and look forward to the ACC tournament.”
Virginia will take the pitch again in the quarterfinals of the ACC Championships when the Cavaliers host Duke on Sunday. Game time will be announced once TV selections have been made.
