 Charlottesville, Vir.— In a contest that felt very much like a majority of Miami's game to win, the RedHawks were unable to cut into a first-half deficit despite a well-played and fairly even game on Friday night in a 2-0 loss to No. 10 Virginia. The loss drops Miami to 1-5 on the year, while the Cavaliers improve to 4-1.
