Virginia Announces 2023 Men’s Lacrosse Schedule

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia men’s lacrosse head coach Lars Tiffany announced the team’s 2023 schedule on Tuesday (Jan. 10). The regular-season slate features 14 games, including eight home contests at Klöckner Stadium.

Season tickets are available for purchase through Jan. 29. Single-game tickets will go on sale beginning Jan. 18. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit VirginiaSports.com/Tickets.

The top-ranked Cavaliers will host Michigan (Feb. 11), Harvard (Feb. 18), Richmond (March 4), Towson (March 11), reigning national-champion Maryland (March 18) and ACC foes Duke (March 31), Syracuse (April 22) and Notre Dame (April 30).

Virginia takes on Ohio State in a neutral-site contest at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex in Naples, Florida on Feb. 25.

UVA’s true road slate consists of Johns Hopkins (March 7), Notre Dame (March 25), North Carolina (April 7), Duke (April 15) and Lafayette (April 25).

“The Virginia fanbase will not see a familiar slate of opponents to open the 2023 season,” said Tiffany. “With the addition of two Big Ten opponents and an Ivy, we have boosted what is already a challenging schedule. Our men know what a formidable gauntlet we have created here, and this is raising the level of intensity of our preseason training: we don’t have a choice with this slate.”

The 2023 NCAA Division-I Men’s Lacrosse Championship is comprised of eight first-round games (May 13-14) at campus sites. This year’s quarterfinals will be held at Tom & Mary Casey Stadium in Albany, New York (May 20) and Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland (May 21). For the first time since Tiffany and the Cavaliers won the program’s sixth national title in 2019, Championship Weekend returns to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The semifinals are set for May 27, while the finals will commence on May 29.

Broadcast selections will be announced at a later date as released by the Atlantic Coast Conference and its television partners. Start times and dates are subject to change based on broadcast selections.

Virginia, which is ranked No. 1 in the USA Lacrosse/Nike preseason poll, returns seven 2022 USILA All-Americans, including Tewaaraton Award finalist Connor Shellenberger. Additionally, the Cavaliers’ incoming recruiting class was ranked best in the nation, according to Inside Lacrosse.
