UVA ROUTS TECH 6-1 IN SOCCER

Virginia Tech couldn't stop the nation's top college soccer player, Claudio Reyna, as top-ranked Virginia overpowered the Hokies 6-1 on Wednesday in Charlottesville.

Reyna scored two goals for Virginia (5-0), which led 3-0 at halftime. Tain Nix and Mike Fisher each added a goal and an assist, and Mike Slivinksi helped set up two goals for the Cavaliers.

Virginia dominated play with a 10-0 advantage in corner kicks, but the Cavaliers lost their shutout bid when Brian Reeves scored on a 25-yard drive with 6 minutes, 24 seconds to play in the game.

Virginia Tech's record is 3-2.
