Following a tightly-contested first half, visiting Virginia broke open the match with three goals and claimed a 4-0 triumph against Syracuse at the SU Soccer Stadium.

The Cavaliers improved to 8-3-6 overall and 3-3-4 in the ACC. The Orange completed their season with a 2-14-2, 0-9-1 record.

THE FIRST-HALF BATTLE
The two squads played evenly for most of the initial 45 minutes. The Cavaliers broke the scoreless tie with 6:08 left before the intermission. Jill Flammia scored her third goal of the campaign and Virginia went into the break ahead, 1-0. The Cavaliers had a 13-3 shot advantage in the opening half.

VIRGINIA INCREASES THE PRESSURE
The momentum the Cavaliers built at the end of the first period continued after halftime. Virginia earned a penalty kick and Maggie Cagle took advantage with her eighth goal of 2023. The tally came at the 55:28 mark.

Virginia put the contest out of reach for Syracuse by scoring twice in a six-minute span. At 73:37, Meredith McDermott found the net for her eight of the year. Talia Staude closed out the scoring at 79:38, scoring her third of the campaign on a header off of Alexis Theoret's corner kick.

NOTABLE NOTES:

Syracuse sophomore Shea Vanderbosch added five saves to her season total, giving her 129 for the fall. It represented the second-best, single-season total in school history. Katie Karlander owns the record (138) which she established in the 2000 campaign.
Vanderbosch and junior Kylen Grant played every minute (1,620) of Syracuse's 18 games.
In a season hampered by numerous injuries, Syracuse had six players start every game: Grant, Vanderbosch, sophomore Alyssa Abramson, redshirt sophomore Erin Flurey, sophomore Grace Gillard and sophomore Ashley Rauch.
Flurey finished the year as Syracuse's top scorer, totaling six goals and three assists.
