The Virginia men’s lacrosse team hoisted the NCAA trophy a little over one week ago after the Cavaliers withstood a late push from Maryland to hold on to a 17-16 victory. It was the seventh NCAA title in program history, and for the first time, lacrosse went back-to-back after the Hoos won it all in 2019.
The Cavaliers got a huge tournament out of redshirt first year Connor Shellenberger. The multi-faceted player earned the title of tournament Most Outstanding Player for his 14 goals and 10 assists. He is just the second rookie to win MOP of the NCAA tournament, joining Virginia’s Connor Gill (1999).
