In deflating fashion, the Virginia Cavaliers men’s lacrosse team dropped its 17th consecutive regular season game to the Duke Blue Devils. Falling 16-14, the ‘Hoos repeatedly stormed back into the game despite large deficits, but they never tied the game back up after Duke scored first just over two and a half minutes into the game. Following the loss to the #4 Blue Devils, the first-ranked Cavaliers fall to 7-2 on the season and 1-1 in the ACC.
And, as always, we have five takeaways for UVA lacrosse moving forward this season.

It’s pretty easy to over react to such a stinging, frustrating result.
