Two University of Virginia football players have pleaded guilty to an assault charge stemming from an altercation at a January party in Harrisonburg.

The Charlottesville Daily Progress reported that 20-year-old cornerback Devon Wallace and 20-year-old backup center Mike Price pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and battery. They were sentenced to probation and a judge ordered Price to pay up to $7,100 in restitution to cover the victim’s medical bills, the newspaper reported.

Charges against Ausar Walcott, a 21-year-old linebacker, were dismissed.

All three players remain suspended from the football team.

The players had been accused of assaulting two brothers near James Madison University on Jan. 30.
