Lacrosse has taken quite a beating the media over the last month or so, but while Duke’s canceled season is making all of the headlines, the rest of country is still playing. The NCAA tournament begins this weekend, and the ACC looks to have a good showing with the #1 and #2 seeds, Virginia and Maryland.
The Cavaliers are undefeated and are the strong favorites to win it all – which would be a third title for coach Dom Starsia. One example of just how good the Cavaliers are – they have played the aforementioned #2 Terrapins twice this season and beat them by a combined 16 goals. Virginia also dispatched perennial powers Johns Hopkins and Syracuse by 6 and 5 goals. Their only close game was a 7-6 win over Princeton.
Go Cavs!
