The Virginia softball team earned the fourth overall seed in the ACC Championship and will open play against fifth-seeded Clemson in the quarterfinals on Thursday, it was announced on Sunday.

First pitch is set for 1:30 p.m. and the contest will be broadcast on ACC Network. It’s the highest seed for Virginia since the Cavaliers were seeded second at the 2010 ACC Championships.
