She had a team-high three RBIs and also scored a run. Shortstop Jesse McGregor went 3-for-3 with an RBI while Kristy Hull belted two hits and drove in a run.

Junior Stacy Venable allowed just three Virginia base hits. She improved to 17-7 overall and is 2-0 in the ACC Tournament with a 0.00 ERA. Virginia used three pitchers. Stacey Zagol recorded her first loss of the tournament and is now 18-13 on the year.

A five-run fifth inning for the Lady Seminoles allowed the the game to be called after five innings due to the eight-run rule.
