Payton Cormier scored eight goals to become the NCAA's all-time leading scorer and led Virginia men's lacrosse to a 17-11 win over St. Joe's in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Virginia's losing streak is finally over and it only took one of the greatest individual performances in the history of the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Tournament.

The first goal of the game went to St. Joe's, as Colin Reich beat Matthew Nunes 62 seconds into the contest. UVA responded with three-straight goals, with Griffin Schutz, Cormier, and Joey Terenzi each finding the back of the net. The opening period was a back-and-forth affair, though, as the Hawks scored the next two goals to tie things up.

UVA cleaning up its clear game was a key to what became a big second quarter. The Cavaliers didn't commit a single turnover and went a perfect 6/6 on clears, while also winning five of the seven faceoff draws in the second period. That possession advantage allowed Virginia to seize control, getting three more goals from Cormier and one apiece from Jack Boyden and Ryan Colsey as the Cavaliers won the period 5-2 to take an 11-6 lead into the halftime break.
