@Inside_Lacrosse wrote an extensive feature on the Virginia men’s lacrosse program in its March issue. Writer Christian Swezey outlines UVA’s program since winning its fifth NCAA title in 2011 and how Dom Starsia’s squad has had to overcome a myriad of injuries over the past four seasons. Swezey also takes a look at how Starsia took the program to a new level when he took over the reins in 1993. You can read the full article by clicking here.
Former UVA safety Rodney McLeod (2008-11) is signing a five-year free agent deal with the Philadelphia Eagles after spending the last four years with the Rams, a team he joined as an undrafted free agent in 2012. McLeod led the Rams in special teams tackles as a rookie in 2012 and became one of their starting safeties at the start of the 2013 season.Â
