SERIES HISTORY VS. VIRGINIA: Despite being two of the oldest lacrosse teams in the nation, Cornell and Virginia have met just 16 times, and only nine of those meetings have occurred during the regular season. The Cavaliers, who own the 10-6 lead in the series, defeated Cornell, 10-9, in the first meeting in 1971 at Virginia. The teams met again in the 1974 NCAA tournament, with the Big Red taking the commanding 15-8 victory. It would be five years before the teams squared off again, also in the NCAA tournament, but this time the Cavaliers took the 15-8 victory. Virginia managed two more one-goal wins in the NCAA tournament (1980; 9-8 in overtime, and 2002; 11-10), while Cornell used a 19-6 victory over the Cavaliers in the 1988 NCAA tournament to propel into the national championship game. During the 2009 regular season, Virginia used a second-half comeback to defeat the Big Red, 14-10, at Klöckner Stadium, but Cornell won the rematch, 15-6, in the national semifinal to advance to the 2009 NCAA title game. The Cavaliers regained the upper-hand with four straight victories, but the Big Red has won three of the last four meetings. LOOKING AT THE CAVALIERS: After winning its first there contests, No. 13 Virginia has dropped two of its last three, including its ACC opener at No. 12 Syracuse last weekend to slip to 4-2 on the season. The Cavaliers offense is led by preseason All-American Zed Williams who has registered a team-high in points (28) and assists (13). Freshman midfielder Dox Aitken leads the team with 19 goals, while junior attackman Mike D Amarico has 15 on the season. Defensively, preseason All-American Tanner Scales has started all six games and has 21 ground balls and has caused eight turnovers on the year. UVA has two primary face-off men, with both winning better than.600 percent, led by Jason Murphy (67-of-111;.604). In goal, junior Will Railey is in his first season as a starter, posting a goalsagainst average and.460 save percentage. CORNELL VS. THE ACC: Cornell is all-time vs. the current members of the ACC, thanks mostly to its newest member Syracuse, which owns the lead in the series, The Big Red holds a winning record vs. Duke (5-4), North Carolina (4-3) and Notre Dame (5-1) but has a losing mark vs. Virginia (6-10). A WIN OVER VIRGINIA WOULD: be the first for Cornell over a ranked opponent this season. be the second in a row vs. UVA. give the Big Red back-to-back wins in the series for just the second time (2013, 2014). narrow the Cavaliers lead in the series to improve head coach Matt Kerwick s career record to and to 3-1 vs. Virginia. be the 742nd win in program history. make Cornell all-time when unranked in the USILA Coaches Poll. improve Cornell to 12-3 all-time vs. the No. 13 ranked team in the USILA Coaches Poll.

3 Last Meeting Cornell 14, No. 17 Virginia 10 March 12, 2016 Schoellkopf Field Ithaca, N.Y. ITHACA, N.Y. A youthful Cornell team found its offense and the team s senior goalkeeper made sure it held up as the Big Red toppled No. 17 Virginia at Schoellkopf Field. Brennan Donville made a career-high 16 saves, surpassing his previous best of nine in a game with 10 in the third quarter alone, and the Big Red closed strong with a 5-0 run in the fourth that put some separation between themselves and the Cavaliers. Nine of the team s goals and 17 total points came from the underclassmen, with freshman Colton Rupp scoring four times, classmate Ryan Bray posting a goal and two assists and rookie Clarke Petterson scoring his first two career goals. Senior John Edmonds had one goal and three assists, senior Ryan Matthews netted a pair of goals, and sophomores Jack Bolen and Jordan Dowiak each had a goal and an assist. Ryan Lukacovic led Virginia with three goals and an assist and James Pannell, the younger brother of Cornell s all-time leading scorer and Tewaaraton Trophy Award winner Rob Pannell 13, had two goals and an assist. Jeff Kratky won 11- of-21 face-offs and Michael Howard had an assist and eight ground balls for the Cavaliers, whose lead in the all-time series was cut to Matt Barrett made seven saves in goal for the visitors. A high-scoring first half that featured 17 combined goals gave way to a defensive battle after halftime, thanks in large part to the play of Donville. The senior had a new career high save total midway through the third quarter and made a number of highlight-reel stops at point-blank range. Virginia scored just one goal over the span of 28:34 before capitalizing on a man-up goal with 37 seconds left to play with the team trailing by five. Over that same span, Donville made 11 stops. Cornell snapped a tie in the opening three minutes of the fourth when Edmonds beat the shot clock with a straight line drive to the cage and finished off his seventh goal of the season. After Domenic Massimilian won the ensuing face-off, he found Andrew Keith to put the home team up That opened up the floodgates for Cornell, who scored five straight before Virginia got on the board late to cap the scoring.

5 OH CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN: The Big Red has four captains this season seniors Ryan Matthews and Marshall Peters, junior Jake Pulver, and sophomore Clarke Petterson. HARD HAT: Jake Pulver was selected to carry the Hard Hat for the 2016 season.
