The goal, courtesy of the seniors, awoke Virginia from a mini-coma. UVa went on to score the next six goals, defeating Dartmouth on Senior Day, 13-6.

Virginia’s Garrett Billings assisted with a pair of fourth-quarter goals to lift the top-ranked Cavaliers to a 16-15 victory over No. Johns Hopkins.

To the naked eye, the 9-0 Virginia men’s lacrosse team seems to be clicking on all cylinders, but UVa senior Garrett Billings sees room for improvement.

“He was pretty nonchalant about it,” Michael Colley recalled. “It was just another day at the office for him.”

“I never thought we gave the play away,” said Virginia coach Dom Starsia, when asked about playing with a big lead.

Dom Starsia has always believed in building his offense with outstanding attackmen, and that’s what he’s counting on in today’s NCAA quarterfinals men’s lacrosse match against Maryland.

Virginia, behind four goals from Danny Glading and three goals from Garrett Billings, overcame a
two-goal second-half deficit to beat UMBC, 10-9, in front of a crowd of 937.

One nightmarish memory erased. One more to go. On Friday night at Klockner Stadium, Virginia — behind four goals apiece from Ben Rubeor and Garrett Billings — atoned for a dreadful loss to Maryland earlier this season with an 11-8 victory over the Terrapins.
