Virginia

No. 1 Virginia scored two goals to open the fourth quarter and held on for a 16-15 victory over No. 6 Johns Hopkins before an announced 5,475 at Homewood Field last night. The Cavaliers (10-0) won their fourth straight game against Hopkins and remained undefeated. The Blue Jays (3-3) had rallied from a six-goal deficit late in the first half to take a one-goal lead at the end of the third period, but Virginia quickly scored to tie the game in the fourth quarter and later established a lead it would never relinquish.

DURHAM, N.C. -- Whenever No. 2 Duke needed a goal yesterday in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament final, it was Matt Danowski who found the back of the cage or cleared the way for his teammates with his daunting presence. In front of a favorable home crowd at Koskinen Stadium and led by Danowski's three goals, the Blue Devils beat No. 3 Virginia, 12-9, for their first ACC title since 2002. "I kind of let the game come to me and not try to force anything or push something that's not there," Danowski said.

COLLEGE PARK -- Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen said yesterday that he never has had a team experience so many serious injuries in his 39 years of coaching. Starting left guard Jaimie Thomas will be out about eight weeks and will have surgery to repair a broken right fibula he suffered against Virginia on Saturday night, Friedgen said. Thomas joins starting right guard Andrew Crummey, who broke his left fibula two weeks ago against Georgia Tech, on the sideline. Thomas' injury is more severe than Crummey's, Friedgen said.

COULD a person from Wisconsin, where the state motto is "Eat Cheese or Die," go a year without chowing down on Cheddar? Could a Texan go without steak? Could someone from Pennsylvania Dutch country say no to shoofly pie? Could a San Franciscan lay off the Rice-A-Roni for 12 months?Could a Marylander abstain from crabs for a year?Tough one.Eating steamed crabs from the Chesapeake is a time-honored tradition in Maryland. As I write this, I crave them. Unless you're a total veg-head, eating crab meat in any form -- crab cake, crab dip, crab imperial, crab soup, or the wacky crab cake fluff -- is something you do in these parts.

National collegiate women's semifinals(at Homewood Field,Johns Hopkins) No. 1 Maryland (19-0)vs. No. 5 Penn State (15-4)Time: 6 p.m.Outlook: This year's first semifinal matches two of the most successful programs in women's college lacrosse history. Each has made a record 15 trips to the tournament, and between them, they own 12 national titles. The Terrapins have won seven crowns, including the last four. Tonight's game is a rematch of the season opener won, 12-8, by the Terps, but both teams have come a long way since.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Virginia tried to stall Maryland's surging No. 1 women's lacrosse team with a surprise slow-down offense last night, but that didn't stop the Terrapins from taking a 13-3 victory and completing a regular-season sweep of the Atlantic Coast Conference.On their first possession, the No. 3 Cavaliers spent more than four minutes working the ball around before they turned it over. Maryland's Allison Comito converted about a minute later.That would be the story of the game at University Hall Turf Field -- Virginia working diligently for the opening to go to goal and Maryland converting quickly, often off one of the Cavaliers' 16 turnovers.

COLLEGE PARK - - The Maryland Terrapins saw a potential victory washed away Saturday amid cold rain, mist and their usual abundance of perplexing turnovers. Virginia, which managed just nine first downs, claimed a 20-9 victory and was the beneficiary of two Maryland fumbles and two interceptions, including one returned for a pivotal, third-quarter touchdown. The loss dropped the Terps (2-5) to 1-2 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and diminished their fading hopes of qualifying for a bowl game this season.

COLLEGE PARK -- Virginia avoided kicking on Saturday to Torrey Smith, Maryland's dangerous returner. Smith entered the game with 139.5 yards in kickoff returns per game. He is Maryland's career kickoff return leader and led the nation in all-purpose yards before Saturday. Virginia used squib kicks to avoid kicking deep. The strategy might have paid off. While Virginia's short kicks often gave the Terps decent field position, none of Maryland's other returners are as explosive as Smith.

FOXBOROUGH, MASS. - Nearly a year ago, Virginia attackman Steele Stanwick lay on a couch in his Roland Park home watching the NCAA Division I men's lacrosse final four on TV. Occasionally, his mind would drift and he would find himself on the playing field ... Stanwick doesn't have to dream anymore. The former Loyola High star will start Saturday for No. 1 seed Virginia as the Cavaliers play Cornell in the semifinals. Stanwick is the latest freshman phenom to play attack at Virginia, joining a list that includes Michael Watson, Conor Gill, Ben Rubeor and Danny Glading.

Virginia's Brian Carroll doesn't call himself traditional or old school. He just doesn't feel like celebrating after he scores a goal. "That's just how I am," the Gilman graduate said. "I am really happy, and sometimes I'll give a little when I'm really excited. But when I score during a game, I don't make too much of it because I'm still in the middle of a game and we haven't won yet. So I save the celebrating for after the game." Besides, it would be somewhat of a weary exercise for the junior midfielder, who has 29 goals and 39 points for top-seeded Virginia (15-2)

About 30 minutes after Johns Hopkins had absorbed one of the worst playoff losses in the school's history, Blue Jays coach Dave Pietramala made it a point to state the obvious, but it was a comment that was long overdue. The Bratton brothers, Virginia's twin midfielders from New York, are two pretty good lacrosse players, he said. "I wish they would have just stayed home," Pietramala said after they combined for seven goals in the No. 1 Cavaliers' 19-8 quarterfinal win over the Blue Jays on Sunday.

The unofficial beginning of Johns Hopkins' surrender started with about seven minutes left in the game. That's when Virginia coach Dom Starsia pulled his starting goalie and defensemen. The rest was just a formality. The Blue Jays' often inconsistent attempt to run through the 2009 Division I lacrosse tournament ended with an embarrassing 19-8 quarterfinal loss to the top-seeded Cavaliers on Sunday afternoon before an announced 12,142 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Johns Hopkins trailed 12-4 at the half, and once the Cavaliers scored the first three goals of the third quarter in the opening four minutes of the period, the game was a blowout.
