After a remarkable freshman campaign, Maggie Cagle is poised to take another big leap in her sophomore season with the Virginia women's soccer team. Cagle was selected to the preseason All-ACC women's soccer team by a vote of the league's coaches on Thursday. 

In her freshman season in 2022, Cagle tallied four goals and a team-leading 12 assists, a mark which also led all NCAA Division I freshmen. Seven of those assists were on game-winning goals and Cagle also scored game-winning goals against Oregon State and Wake Forest, leading the Cavaliers to a 16-4-3 overall record and an appearance in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championship. Cagle was selected to the All-ACC Third Team in 2022 and is now recognized again as one of the conference's top players heading into the 2023 season.
