Game Info
Virginia looks to extend its winning streak to seven games in an important ACC road match-up against #10 North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C.
The Cavaliers are now 6-1 overall and 1-0 in the ACC.They kicked off their ACC schedule with an 11-6 win over Maryland last Friday night in College Park.
The Tar Heels opened the season with six straight wins, but have lost their last three contests, including two ACC games. North Carolina is 6-3 overall and 0-2 in the ACC.
The Series vs. the Tar Heels
Virginia leads the all-time series with North Carolina by a 34-22 margin. The Cavaliers’ 34 wins over the Tar Heels make the Heels third on UVa’s list of most beaten opponents (UVa has defeated Duke and Washington & Lee 42 times each).
The series goes all the way back to two meetings in 1938 (when the teams split the contests). After a brief hiatus in the series in the ’50s and ’60s, the teams have met every season since 1964.
The Cavaliers have had remarkable success on the Tar Heels’ home field, winning 16 of 25 meetings in Chapel Hill through the years. UVa has won four of the last six games in Chapel Hill, including a 15-4 triumph two years ago in the most recent game at Fetzer Field.
Virginia has won the last four meetings in the series dating back to 1997, the Cavaliers’ longest winning streak in the series since they won 17 straight from 1949-1975.
The four meetings between 1994-96 were all tight contests, with every game decided by no more than three goals.
The four games since (all UVa wins) have followed an interesting pattern. Virginia’s first win in the current streak was by a wide margin (20-5), but the next game was a nailbiter won by Virginia 17-13. Two years ago Virginia posted another big win (15-4) in Chapel Hill, while last season’s meeting was another tight game won by Virginia 17-14 in Charlottesville. The Cavaliers, no doubt, would like to see the pattern continue this afternoon.
Virginia has reached double figures in the last eight games and has held the Tar Heels to fewer than 10 goals two times in the last four match-ups.
Today’s Expected Starting Line-up
Virginia’s roster this season features seven returning starters and 21 other lettermen from last season which gave head coach Dom Starsia and his staff the luxury of not having to do too much tinkering to settle on a starting line-up.
Starting on attack this afternoon are expected to be Drew McKnight, Conor Gill and Ian Shure.
McKnight, a senior, has been a mainstay in the lineup since his arrival in Charlottesville three years ago. He is having an explosive season offensively so far and is the fourth-leading scorer in the country averaging 5.50 points per game. He also leads the ACC in scoring (17g, 18a, 35 pts). The Virginia Beach native is tied for 17th nationally (and second in the ACC) in goals (2.67/g) and is seventh in the country with an ACC-leading 2.83 assists per game mark.
Gill proved himself last year by winning the ACC Rookie of the Year Award and being named the MVP of the NCAA Tournament. Gill continues to be a steadying presence on the attack and has contributed 13 goals and 14 assists this season.
Shure missed all of last season due to a knee injury, but has returned to full strength with 11 goals this season. He is a gifted offensive player who saw limited action as a freshman in 1998, scoring just two goals.
Jay Jalbert returns to anchor what is a very deep midfield. Faceoff specialist Jason Hard and highly regarded freshman A.J. Shannon join Jalbert on the first unit. Fifth-year player David Bruce, a converted attackman, and junior Hanley Holcomb form the nucleus of the second unit. Freshman Chris Rotelli rounds out this group. The third midfield consists of Jamison Mullen, Will Quayle and Aaron Vercollone. David Jenkins, Brenndan Mohler and Nick Russo also see plenty of action in the midfield, primarily in defensive midfield roles.
Hard and Jenkins continue to alternate as faceoff specialists, while Peter Ragosa is the top long stick middie once again. Richard Reid also sees considerable time at long stick middie.
All three starting defensemen from the end of last season return. Ryan Curtis, the nation’s top defensemen, headlines the returnees. He is joined in the starting trio by Mark Koontz and Court Weisleder. John Harvey is the top sub, but freshmen Ned Bowen and David Burman figure to see action during the season.
Derek Kenney returns in goal after starting last season as a freshman. He is currently being backed up by local product Duffy Birckhead.
Virginia Downs Radford the Last Time Out
Midfielder Jay Jalbert scored four goals to lead second-ranked Virginia to a 15-3 victory over Radford Tuesday evening at Kl?ckner Stadium. The win marked the Cavaliers’ sixth win in a row after a season-opening loss to Syracuse.
Virginia took a 4-0 lead after one quarter, but Lewis Ratcliff and Blaine Manning each scored for the Highlanders in the first 2:30 of the second period to cut the margin to 4-2.
The Cavaliers, however, held Radford scoreless over the next 39:30 while scoring 10 goals themselves. Eight different players scored for Virginia in the run.
Virginia scored four goals in the last two-and-a-half minutes of the first half to build a 10-2 halftime advantage.
Attackman Conor Gill scored a goal and assisted on three others for UVa. Hanley Holcomb scored twice, his first multi-goal game of the season and his first goals since the Princeton game. Freshman midfielder Chris Rotelli also tallied twice for the Cavaliers.
The win was Virginia’s 40th in a row at home against in-state schools dating back to 1976.
Koontz Named ACC Player of the Week
Defenseman Mark Koontz was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Lacrosse Player of the Week for his play in leading the Cavaliers to an 11-6 win over Maryland last Friday night in College Park.
The sophomore from Columbus, Ohio, spearheaded another outstanding defensive effort as Virginia won its fifth game in a row. He led all UVa defensemen with a career-high eight ground balls in the win as the Terps were held to their lowest goal output of the season.
Koontz completely shut down his man, attackman Mike Mollott, the Terps’ leading scorer coming into the game. Mollott failed to take a shot in the game and did not record any assists. In fact, Maryland’s three-leading goal-scorers entered the game with 36 combined goals, but managed to tally just once vs. UVa.
Koontz is tied for fifth in the ACC in ground balls, averaging 5.0 per game.
Virginia Downs Maryland in ACC Opener
Despite playing without Ryan Curtis, the team’s top defenseman, the Cavaliers turned in an outstanding defensive effort and defeated Maryland 11-6 last week in College Park, Md., in a game that wasn’t as close as the score indicates.
The Cavaliers drew first blood on Jay Jalbert’s goal 1:32 into the contest, but Maryland rallied with two goals of its own to take a 2-1 lead less than six minutes into the game.
But from that point on it was all Virginia. The Cavaliers closed out the first quarter with goals by David Bruce and Conor Gill and added four more in the second quarter to take a 7-2 halftime lead. UVa extended its run to nine consecutive goals to take a 10-2 lead before Maryland was able to mount any sort of offensive threat.
Virginia’s close defense of Mark Koontz, Richard Reid (started in place of the injured Curtis) and Court Weisleder held the Terps to only two shots in the second quarter and none in the third. In fact, Maryland’s first shot of the second half came with 9:03 to play and Virginia leading 10-2.
The Cavaliers thoroughly stymied the Terrapin attack, holding Maryland to just 17 shots. At one point Maryland went more than 45 minutes without scoring and almost 30 minutes (including all of the third quarter) without even taking a shot. Maryland also had three extra-man opportunities but didn’t even take a shot with a man advantage.
The Terp trio of Marcus LaChapelle, Mike LaMonica and Chris Malone came into the game with 12 goals apiece, but they combined for just one goal vs. the Cavaliers (in a combined seven shots taken).
Drew McKnight scored three goals and added two assists to lead the attack. Conor Gill also scored three times and recorded an assist. David Bruce tallied twice as Virginia took 55 shots.
Led by Koontz’ career-high eight ground balls, the Cavaliers controlled loose balls by a 61-47 advantage.
Virginia Looks for School Record Today
This is Virginia’s fourth road game of the season. Over the last two years the Cavaliers have established themselves as a very good team when playing on the road. Going back to last season, Virginia has won nine consecutive games at road or neutral sites (four road games, five neutral site games).
The nine-game winning streak in games away from Charlottesville is currently tied for the longest such streak in school history. The 1994 squad also won nine games at road or neutral sites.
McKnight Joins Exclusive Club
Drew McKnight has been a remarkably consistent scorer throughout his career, scoring between 19 and 25 goals and assisting on between 20 and 24 more goals.
This season McKnight’s scoring has exploded. He leads the ACC in scoring, averaging 5.50 points per game (35 points). He also leads the ACC in assists (2.83/g), and ranks second in the ACC in goals scored (2.67/g).
McKnight has scored 17 goals and added 18 assists for 35 total points and barring something unexpected should easily surpass all of his previous offensive highs.
With 17 goals this season, he is more than two thirds of the way to his career high of 25 set last year. His 18 assists are three quarters of the way to his career high of 24 set in 1998.
He scored three goals and added two assists in last week’s win over Maryland to gain membership in an exclusive UVa club,the 80-80 Club. This club is comprised of players who have scored at least 80 goals and recorded at least 80 assists.
The members of this club are listed (chronologically) below. McKnight’s place on UVa’s goals, assists and points lists is listed to the left.
| Name | Goals | Assists |
| Tom Duquette | 107 | 92 |
| Kevin Pehlke | 138 | 101 |
| Tim Whiteley | 85 | 159 |
| Doug Knight | 165 | 84 |
| Michael Watson | 142 | 98 |
| Drew McKnight | 83 | 84 |
Scoring Comes From Unlikely Sources
Head coach Dom Starsia and his coaching staff were no doubt looking to midfielders Jay Jalbert and Hanley Holcomb to be the Cavaliers’ big guns in the offensive zone this season. But so far, the Cavaliers have gotten most of their offense from some unlikely sources.
Although a proven offensive player, Drew McKnight has almost surely surpassed what was expected of him. He has found the back of the net 17 times already and is on a pace to easily surpass his career high of 25 goals established last year.
Fifth-year midfielder/attackman David Bruce has been a reserve throughout his career, never scoring more than 11 goals. He moved to the midfield for his final season and the move has paid off. Using the knowledge gained over the previous four years, Bruce has tallied 14 goals. It took him just five games to surpass his previous career high for goals. Bruce has made opponents pay in 2000 with good positioning around the crease that has enabled him to score almost all of his goals from in close.
Ian Shure missed all of last season due to a knee injury and saw limited action as a freshman two years ago. But playing at full strength, Shure has contributed 11 goals so far (on just 30 shots).
A.J. Shannon, a highly regarded freshman from Canada, leads UVa’s rookies wtih seven goals while running with the first midfield. He has scored twice three times,Syracuse, Rutgers and Stony Brook.
Faceoff specialist Jason Hard has been more involved on offense this season than in the past and has scored seven goals. Like Bruce, it took him only five games to exceed his previous career high (five in 1997).
Jalbert has gotten off to a typical (for him at least) slow start, but he is showing signs of warming up offensively. He is second on the team with 15 goals, and has scored 12 in the last four games. He scored a season-high four goals vs. Stony Brook and Radford.
Holcomb has had a particularly tough time this season. He has scored just three goals (two came vs. Radford) and has misfired on 28 of 31 shots.
Jalbert Likes to See the Tar Heels
Jay Jalbert needs one goal to become the eighth player in school history to score 100 goals in a career. And given his recent performances against North Carolina, it looks like a sure bet that he’ll top the century mark today.
North Carolina has been one of Jalbert’s favorite teams to score against during his career. In four games vs. the Tar Heels, he has scored 10 times. In fact, he has scored eight times in the last two meetings vs. UNC.
He scored five goals vs. the Tar Heels two years ago in the last time the Cavaliers played North Carolina at Fetzer Field. He has scored 10 goals in three games on Fetzer, including two games in last year’s ACC Tournament.
North Carolina is one of four teams that Jalbert has scored at least 10 goals against. He has tallied 12 goals in six games against Duke, 11 in six games against Syracuse and 10 in seven games against Maryland.
A notoriously slow starter, Jalbert has finished with a hot hand the last two years. And he’s gotten his offense started with explosive performances against the Tar Heels.
Two years ago, playing on the attack, Jalbert scored 11 goals in the season’s first six games as the Cavaliers got off to a 3-3 start. He scored a career-high five goals in a win over North Carolina in the seventh game to start a stretch in which he scored 23 goals in the season’s final seven games. Virginia was 6-1 during that span.
Last season he moved back to the midfield and seemed to take some time getting into the flow of the offense. Through the first seven games of the season he had just six goals, including none against Princeton, Johns Hopkins and Maryland.
Once again it was North Carolina that got him going. His three goals in a tight game against the Tar Heels began a stretch that saw him find the back of the net 25 times in nine games. During the span he tallied four times against Stony Brook, Butler and Delaware in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament.
So far this season Jalbert is second on the team with 15 goals and is third in total points with 21 (15g, 6a).
Defense Stiffens in Second Half
Virginia has found itself in several tight contests at halftime so far this season, including games against Princeton and Syracuse.
The Cavaliers fell behind to Syracuse 9-5 in the season opener and then blanked the Orangemen in the third quarter. The shutout that period enabled Virginia to claw its way back into the contest, eventually knotting the score and forcing overtime.
UVa got off to a slow start offensively (and defensively) against Princeton and fell behind 4-2 after 15 minutes of play. But the Cavaliers used an 11-2 run in the second and third periods to build a 13-6 lead at one point. Entering the fourth quarter with a 13-8 lead, the Cavalier defense pitched a shutout in the fourth quarter and handed the Tigers their first loss of the season.
Virginia held a 10-5 lead at halftime against Rutgers and used a third quarter shutout of the Scarlet Knights to push the lead to double digits.
UVa has had at least one shutout quarter in every game this season except against Johns Hopkins. Overall Virginia has posted eight shutout quarters this season. The Cavaliers have also had some long stretches where they haven’t allowed a goal,22:28 vs. Syracuse, 15:26 vs. Princeton, 26:11 vs. Rutgers, 35:01 vs. Stony Brook, 45:35 vs. Maryland and 39:37 vs. Radford.
The Cavaliers have allowed nine goals in both the second and third quarters and 14 in the fourth quarter. Most of the fourth quarter goals have come when the game’s outcome had pretty much been decided.
UVa Defense Proves Stingy
Virginia is allowing just 7.29 goals per game this season and is 10th in the nation in scoring defense.
Since allowing 13 goals in the opener to Syracuse, Virginia hasn’t allowed more than eight goals in a game. The current six-game streak of allowing fewer than 10 goals is the longest since the 1994 squad also put together a six-game stretch of allowing fewer than 10 goals. The last time Virginia went more than six games by giving up fewer than 10 goals was an eight-game stretch in 1986.
The Virginia defense is also proving adept at limiting the opposition’s shot opportunities lately. In the last four games, Virginia has held the opponents to fewer than 20 shots three times, while allowing an average of 19.3 shots per game.
UVa’s man-down defense has also been outstanding. So far this season Virginia has relinquished just 10 goals in 36 extra-man opportunities (.278). In the last three games Virginia’s opponents have scored on just two of 11 extra-man situations. Last week Maryland didn’t take any shots in three extra-man tries, and Radford took just two shots in three EMOs last Tuesday.
Bruce Records Three Hat Tricks vs. Nationally Ranked Teams
When David Bruce decided to return for his fifth year this season he wasn’t sure what his role would be for head coach Dom Starsia. He missed all of the 1998 campaign due to a knee injury and played on the second attack unit last season. With Drew McKnight, Conor Gill and Ian Shure penciled into the starting attack this season, Bruce volunteered to move to the midfield despite never having played there in college before, to get more time.
Whatever Bruce lacked for playing in the midfield, he makes up for with good overall knowledge of the game. And he’s put his four years of college experience to good use so far this season.
Finding himself in the right place at the right time, Bruce has capitalized on virtually all of his scoring chances this season.
In the season opening loss to Syracuse, Bruce scored three times, with all three scores coming from point-blank range.
Bruce’s scoring parade continued in the win over Princeton as he scored three times for the second game in a row. All three goals came in just over a nine-minute span in the middle of the first half and helped erase an early deficit.
He scored three goals against Johns Hopkins for his third hat trick of the season.
Bruce tallied twice against Maryland last week, but was held scoreless by Radford on Tuesday.
He is third on the team with 14 goals. It took him just five games to exceed his previous career high of 11 goals in 1997.
Eleven Cavaliers Earn Preseason Recognition
Virginia’s roster this season features 11 players who have been named to various preseason All-America squads.
Defenseman Ryan Curtis, last season’s Schmeisser Cup winner as the nation’s top defenseman, returns to anchor the Cavalier defense. Lacrosse magazine listed him as its Player of the Year and one of five “Players to Watch” this spring. Curtis has also been named to preseason All-America teams by Face-off, Inside Lacrosse, College Lacrosse USA and the Baltimore Sun.
Joining Curtis as a Lacrosse magazine “Player to Watch” is midfield Jay Jalbert, winner of the 1999 McLaughlin Award as the nation’s outstanding midfielder. And like Curtis, Jalbert has cited by Face-off, Inside Lacrosse, College Lacrosse USA and the Baltimore Sun as a preseason All-America.
Two of UVa’s starting attackmen,senior Drew McKnight and sophomore Conor Gill,have been selected preseason All-Americans. McKnight, the Cavaliers’ leading active scorer (77g, 78a), was also named one of nine “Sharpshooters” by Inside Lacrosse magazine. Gill, the ACC Rookie of the Year and MVP of the NCAA Tournament a year ago, will be looked upon to quarterback the attack again this season.
Junior Hanley Holcomb joins Jalbert in the midfield to give head coach Dom Starsia two preseason All-Americans in the midfield. Holcomb, who possesses one of the hardest shots in the nation, found the back of the net 27 times last season.
Long stick middie Peter Ragosa, one of the nation’s most underrated players, has been cited by Inside Lacrosse, College Lacrosse USA and Face-off for preseason recognition.
The Virginia face-off duo of Jason Hard and David Jenkins were both recognized for their face-off ability by the preseason pickers. Both were also among 11 of the nation’s top face-off specialists selected by Inside Lacrosse.
Defensively, junior John Harvey and sophomore Mark Koontz were named to the preseason squad presented by Inside Lacrosse. Koontz was also named to Face-off’s preseason squad.
Goalie Derek Kenney, who last year became the first freshman to start in goal for the Cavaliers in 20 years, has also been named to several preseason All-America squads.
Five Seniors Named Co-captains
Five members of Virginia’s senior class this season have been named captains for the 2000 season,Ryan Curtis, Jason Hard, Jay Jalbert, Drew McKnight and Peter Ragosa.
Curtis and Jalbert were recipients of prestigious national awards last season for their play as the Cavaliers won the national title. Curtis won the Schmeisser Cup as the nation’s top defenseman, while Jalbert was awarded the McLaughlin Award as the nation’s outstanding midfielder.
Hard teams with David Jenkins to give Virginia the top face-off unit in the country. Hard finished sixth in the nation in face-off winning percentage.
This is the second year in a row McKnight has served as a team captain. One of the more overlooked members of the nation’s most potent offense, McKnight has cracked UVa’s top 10 in assists (eighth with 84) and points (10th with 167). He needs just 11 goals to move into the top 10 on UVa’s career goals list.
Ragosa, considered by many as the nation’s top long stick middie, has helped spearhead Virginia’s defensive efforts throughout his career. He was tied for 46th in the nation a year ago in ground balls, averaging 4.4 per game (70 in 16 games).
