Everything you need to know before Virginia Lacrosse season starts today

The Virginia Lacrosse season is here, and the No. 6 Cavaliers open with a road test at No. 4 Loyola on Saturday. Virginia’s 2018 season ended at the hands of the Greyhounds in Baltimore as Loyola knocked the Hoos out of the NCAA tournament in the first round, 14-12. This is the sixth straight matchup between the two schools to open the season, with Virginia winning in Charlottesville last year, 13-12, thanks to an overtime winner from Dox Aitken. Four out of the last five season openers between the two have been decided by one goal, with Virginia’s lone loss in that stretch coming in an 11-4 blowout.
