The 2018 Virginia Lacrosse season kicks off on Saturday at 1pm in Charlottesville. In order to look forward to the coming year, we have to first look back on Virginia’s performance last season. The Hoos were under a new head coach - Lars Tiffany - for the first time in a quarter century after UVA and long-time coach Dom Starsia parted ways.
So how did Tiffany’s first season at the helm of the Cavaliers go?
Virginia started the season ranked No. 16 and opened the season on the road at No. 6 Loyola. Just like previous matchups with the Greyhounds, it was decided by just a goal with the Hoos pulling off the 16-15 upset in front of a record-setting 680,000 unique viewers on Twitter (the first lacrosse game streamed via the platform).
