Virginia Media Relations (Matt Riley)
A two-goal halftime lead ballooned to a 19-13 victory as the Virginia women’s lacrosse team took down UConn in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The Hoos went on a seven goal run in the second half that broke the game wide open, led by Annie Dyson’s four goals and one assist.
Ashlyn McGovern and Taylor Regan each contributed a hat trick in the win, and 11 different players scored for the Hoos. Virginia led in shots (37-25), draw controls (18-13), turnovers (10-18), and caused turnovers (9-8).
Dyson got the scoring started just 2:17 into the game as the two teams combined for nine goals in the first 10 mins of the game. UConn tied things at 1-1, and responded to make it 2-2 after Virginia once again took a one-goal lead. The Huskies took their first lead of the day at 3-2 as they continued trading goals throughout the first half.

Annie Dyson scored four goals to help Virginia to a 19-13 victory over Connecticut in the opening round of the NCAA women s lacrosse tournament.
Connecticut was somewhat surprised to find out that it had earned an at-large bid to the NCAA women’s lacrosse tournament after losing in the Big East championship game last weekend. For most of the evening against Virginia, the Huskies proved that it very much belonged. UConn trailed just 11-10 into the second half, but the Cavaliers ultimately pulled away for a 19-13 victory.
UConn had leads of 3-2 and 4-3 in the first half and got back within 11-10 on Stephanie Palmucci’s goal with 24:20 left in the game, but then the Cavaliers turned it on. Seven different Virginia players scored goals during a seven-goal run, including this highlight-reel goal from Morgan Schwab.
The Virginia women’s lacrosse team had 11 different goal-scorers in its 19-13 win over UConn in the NCAA First Round on Friday afternoon at Arlotta Stadium.

We made it! After months of wondering whether the 2021 season would even happen, the powers that be figured it out. The student-athletes and coaches stayed as safe and healthy as possible under unprecedented circumstances (can we retire that phrase soon?). And now, we’ve arrived at May Madness.
Choosing the 29-team field involved some unprecedented (sorry) discussions. The Big Ten only played conference opponents. Some teams played 11 or 12 games while others got in 16 or more. And the bracket isn’t without controversy (Duke at No. 7? No Penn State?). But that’s all pundit-speak. Over the next three weekends, teams will settle scores between the lines. Here’s (half of) what to watch for this weekend.
