INSIDE THE NUMBERS

The Panthers finished 10th in the ACC standings with eight points ahead of Miami (seven points), Wake Forest (six), Syracuse (four) and Boston College (four).
The 10th place finish tied the 2015 squad, who went 4-6-0 in league action, for the highest finish in ACC play in program history.
Picked 13th in the preseason coaches' poll, the Panthers were one of two schools to finish three spots or more ahead of their expected finish (Louisville was picked eighth and came in fourth).
Caitlyn Lazzarini made three saves.
Virginia Tech had the edge in shots (10-6) and corner kicks (8-2).
Amanda West placed both of her shots on goal.
West ends the year as the program's all-time single points leader at 29 and tied for first in goals (10) and assists (nine).
