The Virginia Cavaliers lacrosse lost their nineteenth consecutive regular season game, 18-12, to the #4 Duke Blue Devils on Sunday. The ‘Hoos benched goalie Matthew Nunes at the end of the first quarter after he failed to save a shot off seven attempts on goals as the ‘Hoos trailed 7-3. Sophomore Kyle Morris checked in and provided some momentum in the second, but only finished the game with five saves.
