The Virginia football team will not play its final game of the season against Virginia Tech, the ACC announced Monday night, following the shooting Nov. 13 that killed three Cavaliers players and wounded two other students, including another player. The game had been scheduled for Saturday in Blacksburg.

The decision came two days after a memorial service was held at John Paul Jones Arena honoring the lives of Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler and D’Sean Perry, who died when a gunman opened fire on a charter bus that had come back to campus following a school trip to Washington.

The Cavaliers canceled their game scheduled for this past Saturday against Coastal Carolina at Scott Stadium to allow team members, coaches and staff as well as their families and those of the slain players to attend the service.

Perry’s funeral is Saturday in Miami, meaning the cancellation of the matchup with Virginia Tech will allow his teammates to attend. Chandler’s funeral is set for Sunday in Virginia Beach, and Davis’s is scheduled for Nov. 30 in South Carolina.
