ITHACA, N.Y. - The Big Red women's polo team will attempt to continue its undefeated start when it battles defending national champion Virginia on Saturday, Oct. 31, at 2 p.m. at the Virginia Polo Center.

Lizzie Wisner has 27 goals in the two Big Red victories, including 17 in the opener against UMass. Four other players have seven goals each, with
Kayleigh Sullivan,
Ali Hoffman,
Jessica Cross and
Claire Glashan each hitting that mark.
