ACC TEAMS BATTING .500 IN LAX TOURNEY

Top-seeded Duke received five goals from Zack Greer while Matt Danowski dished out a career-high seven assists as the Blue Devils defeated Providence, 18-3, in the opening round of the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Tournament. At the same time, eighth-seeded North Carolina outscored Navy 5-1 in the fourth quarter to defeat the Midshipmen 12-8 in the first-round. The Terps yakked it up to UMBC, marking only the eighth time in 30 games the Retrievers have defeated Maryland.

The 2006 NCAA Men’s Division I Men’s Lacrosse National Champions from the University of Virginia did not fair so well. The Boo-Hoos got whooped by Delaware 14-8. The Blue Hens, who are not known as an LAX powerhouse, started their program this year on St. Patrick’s Day with some football helmets, some restrung tennis rackets and an orange.
