The last time UVA men’s lacrosse beat a Duke team in the regular season was a couple of months after Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes launched a website they called TheFacebook.
YouTube was a year away, Twitter, two years.
Been awhile, is the point.
Virginia, on Saturday, rallied from a 6-5 halftime deficit with a huge second half, in a 14-10 win over the Dookies in Durham.
It was the fourth win in a row for UVA (7-4, 2-0 ACC), which had limped out to a 3-4 start that included one-goal losses to Johns Hopkins and Maryland and a road loss at this week’s #1, Richmond.
On Saturday, the ‘’Hoos got another strong performance in net from goaltender Jake Marek (6-3), who recorded 13 saves – his fourth consecutive game with at least 10.
On offense, the Cavaliers were led by Joey Terenzi (3g, 2a), who finished with a career-high five points and recorded his first career hat trick after scoring the game’s final goal into an empty net with under a minute to play.
Freshman attackman Brendan Millon (1g, 4a) also tied for a game-high five points, senior attackman Ryan Colsey (3g, 1a) contributed four points, and Truitt Sunderland found the back of the net on four of his five shots.
