It was a rainy, dreary evening in Chapel Hill, but the No. 13 Virginia Cavaliers’ men’s lacrosse team was all smiles as they left with their first regular season ACC win of the season after a 15-12 victory over the Tar Heels.
The win was Virginia’s first regular season conference victory since 2014 - 19 games - and kept their postseason hopes alive.
Michael Kraus once again led all scorers with seven points on three goals and four assists, and Mike D’Amario (four goals) and Ian Laviano (three goals) each had a hat trick. Midfielders Matt Moore and Dox Aitken each chipped in two goals in the win.
