With the Virginia women’s lacrosse team facing a 13-4 deficit with 18 minutes to play, the Cavaliers called timeout–and proceeded to set an NCAA record for the largest comeback in NCAA Championships history, scoring the final ten goals of the game to defeat Duke 14-13. Jess Wasilewski, a Philadelphia native, scored her third goal of the game with nine seconds to play to cap the 10-0 run and send the Cavaliers to the finals, where they will face two-time reigning champion Northwestern. In the 10-0 run, Philadelphia native Megan Havrilla had three goals and 2006 National Rookie of the Year Blair Weymouth added a hat trick; Ashley McCulloch had one goal and three assists.
