The Keydets will turn to red-shirt sophomore left-hander Nathan light on the mound. He boasted a 2.45 ERA, the second-lowest on the team. He pitched in four games, starting three. Light struck out 16 batters in 14 2/3 innings and opponents hit just .204 against him.

Virginia enters the game with a 2-1 record, taking two of three contests last weekend against Connecticut (W 2-1, L 9-10, W 4-2). The Cavaliers will have lefty Nate Savino as their starting pitcher.

VMI is scheduled to host NJIT this weekend in a four-game series on Gray-Minor Stadium.
