coaches who are really going to Duke it out with great minds Seven Seasons under the belt of Lars Tiffany on the other side Dan shimadi in his ninth season is the only head coach in Richmond Spiders history 6PM face off between two of the best teams in the great Commonwealth of Virginia speaking of best teams how about one of the best Face-Off Specialists the Fogo for UVA Petey lasalla we'll meet at Center racks versus Jared chenoy for Richmond ball set on the turf 15 minutes set on the clock whistle blows ball pops out UVA collects it and we are underway for a 6 p.m Face-Off at clockner Stadium UVA hosting the Richmond Spiders right in Zach vigu had nothing to say about that in goal for the spiders today speaking of the spiders finally they get their first possession Aiden O'Neal dodging to X now it's into this one two nothing Virginia leads the way best team in the country last time these two teams met as I said the Richmond Spiders took down the number seven ranked Virginia Cavaliers top of the box Virginia lighters all right Jared chenoy for Richmond trying to get a Face-Off win that's his first one outright and the spiders have possession three-nothing lead Cavaliers with the advantage face-offs today are dead even two apiece last one the Victor outright was Richmond Jared chenoy one of the finer if not finest non-power five fogos in Lacrosse if you will ball scooped out and here comes Virginia again 3-2 advantage in face-offs and it's shown with that four nothing score whistles blow and it looks like because schellenberger is a past first guy ball pops towards the sideline scooped up another Face-Off win Petey lasalla continues to earn possessions for the Cavaliers as he dashes off and this has got to be a great game for a guy who really runs the offense in Connor schellenberger where he gets to see all of his other teammates who usually do so regardless get a lot of action in production ooh ball pops loose fight for possession at Midfield still a scrap for it sure enough Cavaliers come up with it with Pace towards the Box dunked right in the top of the crease another saved it on that top right corner chinoy and LaSalle meet at centerrax for another Face-Off perhaps the only thing that's been going relatively in the way of the spiders well you can take that back with another win for the Cavaliers and quickly up the field we go dumping it off right side of the crease and in that's got to be a record from Face-Off to goal Cormier with two eight nothing Virginia leads the way early in the first quarter one of the special things about this team number one team in the country is that Lars Tiffany keeps level heads on their shoulders he said that when he got here he had to teach them to be better teammates one of the biggest factors in establishing culture at UVA is Lars Tiffany's installment of an interesting tradition specifically a book club called cultural Thursdays in order to create a more philosophical and cerebral environment for the team lar selected a rotation of books for them to read that one turned over on the crease now every Thursday your body is definitely the man to do it as I said last time these two teams met it was back in Richmond and the spiders earned their only Victory to date against their in-state foes Cavaliers with another Face-Off win there Petey lasalla an excellent Fogo getting absolutely murked at Midfield and it's stolen away what a strap for possession Aiden O'Neal runs away with it and here come the leaders we'll take a trip out 125 to go here in the first quarter six goal Advantage for the Cavaliers number one team in the country and a violation on the Face-Off spiders with a big Advantage here 117 to go 15 minutes fresh here in the second quarter of action ground balls have been a big story line for this game eight for Virginia that's to Petey LaSalle's credit and three for the Richmond Spiders that ball pops down and another foul at Midfield second straight violation on the Face-Off so the clock hasn't even to try and Claw their way back here we're really underrated going into the NCAA tournament over in Colorado Springs as the Face-Off is scooped up in the defensive third for the Cavaliers spiders as I said took a trip to the NCAA tournament in their debut season and probably and although they lost to air force over in Colorado Springs and their very first meet at Center Acts ball pops out Virginia with their 10th Face-Off win as they scoop it up obsessive and Relentless pursuit of ground balls Lars Tiffany said is what makes this team so special we've seen it today they have earned themselves a lot of possessions and because of that a lot of shots on goal and another Victory on Face-Off there for the Cavaliers

end spiders couldn't connect spiders down nine now on April 2nd 2022 the spiders surged back from a three goal deficit in the first quarter against Tech or for against Virginia excuse me in that first quarter [Music] schellenberger looking for another dumps it off one two three and they put it right in the back of the net another goal for the Cavaliers in a matter of seconds Cormier re-entering the score books 10 goal Advantage for the number one team in the country Summerlin time to go at 508 I'm listening Virginia 14 Richmond four spider's gonna try someone new at face off same thing with the

midfielder or defenseman Virginia under two to go until we hit halftime 11 goal Advantage for Virginia and another Face-Off win btb on the pass at Midfield that one karim's loose Virginia will maintain it Virginia Cavaliers looking to remain undefeated on the season and preserve that 11 game what could be 12 game winning streak here at clockner Stadium at home in Charlottesville and it's because of that a lot of Face-Off wins dumped to the right side did the Cavaliers actually start to run away with this thing all right it's chinoy that's Center racks for the Face-Off stabbed out and the spiders finally have another Face-Off win as I said this Richmond Spiders team because of the young man Dylan lived in lesser still with quite the work ethic and just a special sense of excellence

Richmond make it 10 on that one Virginia 3-0 gonna be 4-0 and make it 12 in a row at clockner stadium talk about the lacrosse equivalent of a scooping score turnover on one end can turn into a goal on the other really quick six and a half to go scrum for the ball at Midfield and the spiders with another Face-Off win category they've lacked in all day well for Virginia going forward balls vacuumed up at Midfield Cavaliers triple this
