Following the programs worst loss in 47 years, a 17-2 loss at Duke Saturday, the Virginia men's lacrosse team bounced back Sunday to defeat Denver 9-6 at Klöckner Stadium.
Paced by three goals from junior midfielder Matt Poskay and two from junior attackman Matt Ward, the Cavaliers avenged last season's 9-7 loss at the hands of the Pioneers -- although it wasn't easy by any means.
Denver struck first when a third Matt, Matt Brown, faked out Virginia goalie Kip Turner for the goal and the lead.
Ward evened the score at one apiece with a goal from the crease.
