Not much to say here. Steele is good. Go check out the official press release here: http://www.theacc.com/sports/m-lacros/spec-rel/042111aaa.html A brief snippet: Virginia junior attackman Steele Stanwick, who ranks fifth nationally with 1.91 assists per game and seventh with 4.0 points per game, was named the 2011 All-ACC Men’s Lacrosse Player of the Year. The Baltimore, Md., native also ranks No. 30 nationally with 2.09 goals per game and has tallied two game-winning overtime goals this season (Stony Brook and North Carolina) to help lead the nation’s top scoring offense (13.0 goals per game...
Virginia Tops Cornell in Face-Off Classic
Saturday, March 12 2011 by Tim - 0 comments
Just in case you didn’t follow the live game reports that Tiki had going on our site , I’ll let you know that #2 Virginia beat #14 Cornell 11-9 at the Face-Off Classic in Baltimore earlier today. Virginia actually trailed for much of the game. Cornell led 3-2 after the first quarter and and 5-4 at the half. Virginia turned it around and outscored Cornell 3-4 in the third quarter and 4-2 in the fourth. One big positive for Virginia was the face-offs. Virginia either won the faceoff stat or was even in each of the first three quarters before Cornell won the fourth. Overall, Virginia led that statistics...

1:55 – Cornell takes a 1-0 lead on a goal by Rob Pannell. 1:58 – Save by Ghitelman, leads to a fast break goal for Chris LaPierre. Easy save for Adam, but it was an open shot for Cornell. So far, we look…unsettled. 2:02 - After a short break to repair the net that LaPierre ripped, Hoos win a faceoff, but can’t get anything going on offense. Cornell ball. 2:03 – Pannell with another goal, after Matt Lovejoy falls down. 2:04 – Winning faceoffs, but unable to really get anything going on offense. The one goal came on the break. 2:06 – Bocklet with an open shot that goes wide. Hoos retain possession...
Lacrosse vs Cornell Today
Saturday, March 12 2011 by Tim - 0 comments
Just a heads-up, Tiki and I are both here at M&T Bank Stadium (along with Brian from StreakingTheLawn.com ) to cover the Virginia and Cornell game today. There’s less than a minute left in the first game of the day (Syracuse is leading Georgetown by 1). The Virginia game will start 35 minutes after the conclusion of this game. Not sure exactly what type of coverage we’ll have during the game, but we’ll certainly have some photos and recaps afterwards at the very least. As I write this, Georgetown has just tied it at 8 with five seconds left in regulation. So our game will almost certainly be...
Rare #1 Versus #1 Match
Wednesday, March 02 2011 by Tim - 0 comments
On Friday, the #1 ranked Virginia Men’s Lacrosse team will travel to Syracuse, NY to take on the #1 ranked Syracuse Orange. Wait… what? That’s right, there are two polls (which I suppose is better than the 3 there are in football or 500 there are in baseball) and these two teams are each the top-ranked team in one of them. Virginia leads the coaches’ poll while Syracuse leads the media poll. Actually, if you want to get technical, they’re tied for first in the coaches’ poll, but Virginia got one more first place vote. As much as I thought last weekend’s match at Stony Brook would be a bit of a...
Men’s Lacrosse Defeats Mount St. Mary’s 18-4
Sunday, May 16 2010 by Tim - 0 comments
I won’t do much of a recap of this. It is being covered enough as it is . Seriously. It’d be nice if we got that much coverage just because we’re, you know, the best team in the country. Anyway, I’ll just show a couple of breakdowns about the game and let the domination soak into your brain at its own pace. After the first quarter, Virginia led 5-0. At the half, the Cavaliers led 12-1. After three periods, it was 16-2. At that point, basically all of Virginia’s starters were already out of the game, including goalie Adam Ghitelman, who had a terrific game in the cage. Here’s how the Virginia...
Women’s Lacrosse Earns Sixth Seed
Sunday, May 09 2010 by Tim - 1 comments
Frankly, I’m a little disappointed in this outcome, but given the circumstances, I supposed I shouldn’t complain too much. The Virginia women’s lacrosse team earned the sixth seed in the NCAA tournament and will host a home game in the first round. The Cavaliers will host Towson on Sunday at either noon or 1pm (not great timing for Wahoo sports fans, frankly). If they win, they’ll face the winner of #3 North Carolina and Navy the next weekend. Not a very good draw for the Cavs. Having to go through North Carolina just to get to Northwestern is… ugly. But you can be damn sure I’ll be in the stands...
Men’s Lacrosse Earns NCAA Top Seed
Sunday, May 09 2010 by Tim - 1 comments
The NCAA announced just a few minutes ago that Virginia had received the #1 seed in the 2010 NCAA Lacrosse Championship. This was the obvious choice as Virginia’s resume was significantly better than all other teams in the tournament. The only real question was who they would play and what the rest of the top seedings look like. The Cavaliers will host Mount St. Mary’s on Saturday at 7:30pm. The game will be televised on ESPNU. Virginia defeated Mount St. Mary’s 15-7 in the second game of the season. That game was a road game for Virginia, so at least it’s not a complete repeat… I’ll update this...
Women’s Lacrosse Player Yeardley Love Killed
Monday, May 03 2010 by Tim - 1 comments
Terrible terrible news out of Charlottesville today: Fourth year women’s lacrosse player Yeardley Love of Cockeysville, MD died this morning at a home in Charlottesville. Her death is being investigated as a homicide. I won’t get into the other part of the story here – I’ll wait for the press conference at 2pm – but this is terribly saddening story in many many ways and it is still unfolding as I write this. Dear Old U.Va. sends out its prayers to the Love family and the entire lacrosse community.Big City Classic Photos Part 2
