JMU loses to Virginia – The Dukes fought valiantly but fell 2-1 to Virginia on Wednesday. The loss drops JMU to 23-18 overall. 

Key series – The top six teams in the CAA qualify for the conference tournament. JMU is dead last, as the Dukes sit in ninth place. Luckily, the Dukes are just a game out of fourth place. They need to start winning, and it has to start this weekend if they want to make the CAA Tournament. 

Up next – JMU hosts Hofstra (12-24, 5-7 CAA) for three games this weekend. The Pride is beatable, and JMU needs to win this series.
