For the second straight tournament, the Virginia men’s lacrosse team is playing in the NCAA quarterfinals. The Hoos last went to the quarters in 2019 en route to winning the program’s sixth NCAA title. There was no tournament in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, so the Cavaliers are technically still the reigning champs.
Virginia defeated Bryant, 13-11, in the opening round of the tournament after battling back from a two-goal deficit in the third quarter. Both Matt Moore and Connor Shellenberger had two goals and three assists in the win, and goalie Alex Rode came up with an impressive 18 saves.
