Danny Glading, who was the fifth overall pick in the Major League Lacrosse Draft after an All-American career at Virginia, had two goals and three assists. For his efforts, he was named MLL Rookie of the Week on Monday.

In the tournament semifinals, No. 1 seed Virginia was completely outplayed by the fifth-seeded Big Red.

Having seen Cornell during the regular season and watching the Big Red score just six goals in their quarterfinal win over Princeton last weekend, you couldn’t really blame Virginia players for thinking they would be facing a methodical squad.

Last spring, right here in this Boston suburb, the Virginia men’s lacrosse team was on the precipice of an NCAA championship.

This season, Virginia has 13 seniors on its roster, and, inevitably, each of the speakers has touched on the same subject matter — former teammate Will Barrow.

As Virginia prepares to face Cornell in the NCAA semifinals in Foxborough, Mass., on Saturday, Carroll figures to be, like he has all season, an important cog in an offense that ranks No. 1 in Division.

Virginia has announced its presence to the college lacrosse world — with authority.

The Cavaliers, looking extremely worthy as the tournament’s No. 1 seed, jumped the eighth-seeded Blue Jays early, then overwhelmed Hopkins en route to a 19-8 knockout before a crowd of 12,142.

If the top-seeded Wahoos are to make it to next weekend’s Final Four in Foxborough, Mass., and continue their quest for a fifth NCAA title, they’ll need to play as well as they did last weekend against Villanova.

Former Virginia lacrosse player Matt Ward finished his college career on the highest of notes.

When you consider that just one goal separated Virginia and Johns Hopkins when they last met during the regular season, it’s a near certainty that one of the most important players on the field for the rematch this Sunday in the NCAA tournament quarterfinals will be the smallest guy.

The Cavaliers fell 15-13 in overtime to the Blue Devils.

Behind five goals from Brian Carroll, four from Danny Glading and three apiece from Steele Stanwick and John Haldy, No. 1-seeded UVa (14-2) pounded Villanova, 18-6, in front of a crowd of 2,921.

This afternoon, 16 years later, Virginia and Villanova will finally meet again when the Cavaliers host the Wildcats in a first-round NCAA tournament game at Klockner Stadium.

The 6-foot, 201-pounder had to take a circuitous route to Klockner Stadium — but you won’t get any complaints out of him.

UVa (13-2), whose only losses were to Duke, is set to host Villanova (11-5) on Sunday at Klockner Stadium. Duke (13-3), the No. 3 seed, hosts Navy on Saturday.

Virginia will host Villanova in the first round of the NCAA men’s lacrosse Championship on Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

Maryland stayed undefeated and advanced to the ACC championship game with a 15-7 victory in the tournament semifinals, pulling away after the break to leave Virginia perilously close to missing out on an NCAA tournament berth.

Duke continued its mastery of Virginia with a 16-5 win over the Cavaliers in the semifinals of the ACC tournament at Kenan Stadium.

The Cavaliers women’s lacrosse team made short work of Virginia Tech on Thursday in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament, jumping out to a six-goal halftime lead en route to a 13-5 victory.

According to Wikipedia, the law of averages is “a lay term used to express a belief that outcomes of a random event shall even out within a small sample.”

Virginia coach Dom Starsia says that in all of his years of coaching he’s never had a player “challenge” him as much as Mike Timms.

After a regular season that didn’t meet the expectations of a talent-laden squad, the fourth-seeded Cavaliers (10-6) get a chance to make those missteps a distant memory, beginning with a quarterfinal matchup with Virginia Tech today at 1 p.m. in Blacksburg.

“It’s a heartbreaker,” said Virginia coach Julie Myers. “It would’ve been a huge win for us.”

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.

“A terrible shot by Stanwick.”

Dreams of an undefeated season came to a crashing halt at Duke on Saturday after the top-ranked Virginia men’s lacrosse team was unable to mount yet another comeback.

Timms has been in the Virginia lacrosse program since 2004. During that time, UVa has gone 0-5 against Duke.

In the fall, Gary Gill nearly had to splash water on his face. There they were — his three sons playing on the same lacrosse field, on the same team.
