The Cavaliers men's lacrosse season ends in a brutal 12-6 loss to the Maryland Terrapins in the NCAA semifinals as Connor Shellenberger, Payton Cormier, and Cole Kastner's college careers come to a close.
The legendary careers of Virginia legends Connor Shellenberger, Payton Cormier, and Cole Kastner have come to a close. After a momentous win against Johns Hopkins in the quarterfinals, the Cavaliers failed to replicate the performance, getting dismantled by the Maryland Terrapins to see their season end two wins short of a National Championship.
In the second quarter, the Maryland dominance continued, stretching their lead to 7-3 at the half. After the initial goal by Shellenberger, the Cavaliers had no answers offensively. The Terrapins rifled off two quick goals to start the third, before outscoring Virginia 4-1 in the quarter, slamming the door on a comeback for the Cavaliers. Just before the end of the quarter, Lars Tiffany pulled Kyle Morris, replacing him with Matthew Nunes. Despite the replacement, the Virginia defense held Maryland to 12 goals.
At the midfield, the starting three of Griffin Schutz, Jack Boyden, and Ryan Colsey combined for zero points, struggling to win their matchups and create offense in a game that needed someone to step up for the Hoos offensively.
