UVA also faced #17 UNC-Charlotte (lost, 7-2) and the top un-ranked team UNC (beat twice, including a 10-9 victory in the Championship Game). Virginia finished out against #8 Maryland, sweeping a double-header at Burley Field. #1 Colorado St., 2-time defending National Champion and 6-time World Series qualifier since the baseball program was dropped from NCAA Division-I and taken up as a club sport, received 12 of the 14 first place votes.
