Lacrosse: Virginia wins, indoors, over Colgate, 19-14, in 2026 season opener

Virginia got six goals from Truitt Sunderland, and four goals each from McCabe Millon and Ryan Colsey, in a 19-14 win over Colgate on Sunday, in the first-ever game played inside the George Welsh Indoor Football Practice Facility.  

Spring sports starting in February, amirite?

UVA’s starting goalie, Jake Marek, a transfer from Air Force, earned the win in net after stopping nine Raider shots, and only allowing two goals in the fourth quarter.

The Colsey-Sunderland-Millon trio also made up the Cavaliers’ starting attack in 2025. Sunderland’s six goals matched his career high, which he also achieved in last year’s season-opening win over Colgate.

Millon’s five assists and nine points are also career highs.

McCabe Millon’s younger brother, freshman Brendan Millon, dished out five assists in his collegiate debut as a starting offensive midfielder.

Fittingly, the first assist of his career came on a feed to his older brother in the first quarter, a goal that gave Virginia the lead.

“We were able to rotate some different people on attack and through the midfield,” Virginia coach Lars Tiffany said. “I know all the production’s probably still just with about three or four men, but one of the beautiful advantages of having the warm confines of the indoor practice facility is you can play a lot more guys and not worry how cold they are. Coach [Kevin] Cassese and Coach [Connor] Shellenberger really did a wonderful execution of the plan of rotating a lot of different men through.”
