NOTRE DAME, Ind. – (as heard on Newsradio WINA) No. 3 Virginia (7-1, 1-0 ACC) attackmen Xander Dickson (6g, 1a), Connor Shellenberger (2g, 5a) and Payton Cormier (2g, 2a) combined for 18 points to lead the Cavaliers in a 15-10 victory over No. 1 Notre Dame (6-1, 0-1 ACC) at Arlotta Stadium on Saturday afternoon (March 25). Saturday’s result snapped the Fighting Irish’s 12-game win streak, which led the nation. Their previous loss was to UVA at Klöckner Stadium nearly one year ago (March 26, 2022).
The win marked UVA’s 16th over a No. 1 opponent all-time and first since defeating Maryland 17-16 in the 2021 national championship game. It was also Cavaliers’ fifth straight win in the series and their 15 goals are second-most in series history and most since 1994. Coming off a 14-13 overtime loss to Maryland last week, Virginia has now won its last 17 games following a loss.
Virginia faceoff specialist Petey LaSalla finished 17-for-29 at the faceoff X. Goalie Matthew Nunes (7-1) saved 14 of Notre Dame’s 24 shots on goal. Nunes’ 14 saves tied his own series record, which he set in last year’s win.
