Last Saturday, the then-No. 15 Men’s Lacrosse team hit the road for Baltimore to take on then-No. 5 Loyola. The Greyhounds, led by talented sophomore attackman (and shortlister for the Tewaaraton Award this season) Pat Spencer, were a formidable foe for brand new Virginia head coach Lars Tiffany to face in his first outing as a Hoo. Virginia answered the call, edging out a 16-15 win over Loyola behind outstanding performances from Dox Aitken, Ryan Conrad, Tanner Scales, and Will Railey.
The game, which was the first ever streamed on Twitter, featured a new-look, fast-paced, up-tempo Virginia team that took 40 shots, grabbed 45 groundballs, and scored six goals in the fourth quarter alone.
