While the veterans provided leadership, folks watching the broadcast heard the commentators talking about the young contributors at UVA. Here is a link to the box score, so everyone can do their own work about the impact of the 1st and 2nd year players on the UVA roster. I'll help you out: Galica, Aliamo, DiNardo, Cruthirds, Bruno, Josephson, DeMark, and Schneider are all 1st or 2nd years.

Best git cho Orange house in order--Ginny comin for you next Syracuse!
If successful Saturday in defeating Syracuse, the Cavs will essentially have nailed their 2024 theses to the door of the ACC--and served notice: We're coming for it all.

Reports of UVAs inevitable decline as a program appear to have been greatly exaggerated. New coach. New system. Energized players. Strong newcomers recruited by old coach.watcherinthewoods wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 7:28 pmLike I said back in week #2, the Hoos are feeling it.

If the hoos finish top 10 this year, they will have a a GREAT recruiting summer because UVA is a very popular school.
I think we’ll see uva back as a perennial top team in a few years. They may take a step back next year—but they may not as they graduated a lot of talent last year and have so far had more success this year than last!
Great job by lamonica coaching a team where she picked exactly zero of the players….

Re: Games Today
They look very good. Zone is very effective in tandem with tough goalie (though there should have been at least a few 3 sec/shooting space calls imo). Nice balanced attack. Rookies are playing free. First-years getting so many minutes have a tendency to hit a wall toward the end of the season (i.e. UNC in '23). Apparent lack of depth could be costly but for now they're playing inspired ball.Womenslaxxfan wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 9:49 pmReports of UVAs inevitable decline as a program appear to have been greatly exaggerated.

Re: Games Today
I’ve liked the direction UVA was trending the past few seasons, even before LaMonica and despite the loss to Albany in NCAAs. LaMonica has really taken them to another level, especially with the departure of Clark. There is much more consistency now. Their underclassmen are getting a lot of love but I really think they have a nice balance of both. The seniors provide leadership but I also think they contribute meaningfully on the field. Hoeg, Shaw, Bostain, & Schwab all definitely have their presences felt IMO.watcherinthewoods wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 7:28 pmLike I said back in week #2, the Hoos are feeling it.

Re: Games Today
My 2 cents on this JMU-UVA game. JMU could have won. As a team, they shot poorly and gave the ball away a lot, with dumb errors that should be reduced by mid-season or more. UVA won, even though it threw the ball away a lot. Kept their poise in the 3rd quarter, and rattled off a few to gain some separation, and then handled the pressure the rest of the way. Nicely done, for sure. Just a little sloppier game than I was expecting. Maybe because they both understood that this OOC game was important -- and for the championship of the Old Dominion. I left thinking that neither of these teams will compete for the title this year.
But program-leadership matters. And the UVA team -- which I think has a nice blend of excellent youngsters (DiNardo? Wow.) and oldsters (not a coincidence that Shaw opened the scoring with two goals) -- show the new leadership. I think Lamonica is very happy to have the kids that Colleen Shearer and Julie Myers recruited; probably (no offense here) better on balance than the kids she was getting at Towson.
Syracuse should have its hands full -- playing on grass!!! -- in Charlottesville. Syracuse is 4-0 in conference; UVA is 3-1 in conference. A lot on the line? So...Syracuse wins 15-12.
Oh, did anyone catch the Navy-Loyola game? Report?

I don't know if it's a legitimate excuse or not but the wind was gusting to 20 mph at game time. They showed the flags at the beginning which were flapping pretty good.
