There is certainly no easy path for any team to the ACC Championship given that the conference boasts some of the best teams in the country, but the Cavaliers do have experience playing against - and beating - the two teams in their path to the final. Virginia used a thrilling comeback effort to erase a 2-0 deficit and defeat North Carolina 3-2 on September 17th in Chapel Hill. Two weeks later, the Cavaliers shut out Duke 1-0 in Durham. 

Virginia is seeking its third ACC Women's Soccer Championship. UVA has won three ACC regular season titles - in 2013, 2015, and 2021 - but has not won the ACC tournament since 2012. The Cavaliers took home their first ACC Women's Soccer Championship after winning the tournament in 2004.
