Favorite Lacrosse Team

The Virginia Cavaliers is my favorite lacrosse team. They have been my favorite team since I started playing lacrosse in 8th grade. They are currently ranked #2 out of all college teams. They are ranked just behind Syracuse. Last year they came in with 16 wins and only losing twice. Once to Duke in the regular season and in the semi finals they lost to Duke again. This is a team that hasn't won a title since 2006. This year I expect them to win a title. They are pretty much stacked with good midfield and attack players. They have many talented players on the team this year and this is why I expect them to win a title. Last year they averaged 13.44 goals per game. This year I estimate they average 15 goals per game. Their players are some of the fastest in college lacrosse and their players have the most style and flare out of any team. However they do have a potential weakness for this year, they lost two of their best midfield players. They gained a short stick defensive midfielder however that may be another potential weakness.

One of my favorite players on their team is Steele Stanwick. Stanwick is one of their best attackmen. He leads the offence and is a facilitator and he is always one step ahead. He led attack with 29 goals and 32 assists last year. Although the team has many great players, his talent and pride in the game really shows. I can’t wait to see the quality of this team this year and I hope they win it all!
