In one of the last seasons before the Terrapins left the ACC, Virginia and Maryland met on the pitch with the ACC Women’s Soccer Championship on the line. Gloria Douglas got the scoring started for the Cavaliers off a double assist from 2012 ACC Player of the Year Caroline Miller and eventual two-time MAC Hermann Trophy winner Morgan Brian.

Ben Rubeor and Drew Thompson scored back-to-back goals midway through the fourth quarter to break a five-all tie and lift the second-ranked Virginia Cavaliers to a 7-6 win over fifth-ranked Princeton before a crowd of 5,412 at Princeton Stadium. Princeton jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the low-scoring affair before the Cavaliers closed the game on a 6-2 run with goals by four different UVA players. The win pushed Virginia to 6-0 on the season as the Cavaliers finished 17-0 and won the program’s fourth NCAA title.

Ty Jerome added 17 points and De’Andre Hunter chipped in 15 as the UVA improved to 7-0 for the third straight season. Jack Salt added a then-career high 12 points (10 in the second half) and seven rebounds for the eventual national-champion Cavaliers, who matched a school record by committing just two turnovers.

4 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. – 2009 Women’s Basketball – Virginia vs. Georgia

The Virginia women’s basketball team (ranked No. 15 in the AP poll at the time) rallied in the closing minutes to defeat Georgia, 62-60, at John Paul Jones Arena.

Quarterback Marques Hagans threw for a then career-best 306 yards and two touchdowns and Connor Hughes kicked four field goals for the Cavaliers, who reprised history and beat a top-five team for only the second time in their history. This one went to the wire, sealed by Tony Franklin’s interception of Drew Weatherford with 50 seconds left. The Defense opened the game with a significant stand as Marcus Hamilton intercepted Weatherford at the UVA 16-yard line and Hagans drove the team the length of the field, finding Jonathan Stupar for a 21-yard touchdown to put UVA up, 7-0.
