🔼 Open It Up. Fresh off a program-best six-win conference season, Virginia women’s lacrosse gets a shot at UAlbany this evening in NCAA Tournament opening-round action.

The Hoos are tournament-tested, and then some - this is the 27th consecutive year UVA has played in the NCAA Tournament. On the flip side, this will be the Great Danes’ first appearance in the tournament since 2017.

The winner of the UVA-UAlbany matchup will take on the winner of Denver-USC on Sunday.

The Cardinals are 9-15 in ACC play, and were swept at Clemson last weekend.
