Top-Ranked Virginia
DURHAM, N.C. - Terrence Keaney scored the game-winning goal with 39
seconds remaining and Tournament MVP A.J. Kincel made 15 saves as
second-seeded and 12th-ranked Duke captured the 2002 ACC Men's Lacrosse
Tournament championship with a 14-13 win over top-seeded and number
one-ranked Virginia in front of 4,106 fans at Koskinen Stadium in
Durham, N.C.
The Blue Devils improve to 7-5 while the Cavaliers fall to 9-2. The ACC
title for the Blue Devils is their second straight and third overall.
Duke head coach Mike Pressler earns his third ACC Tournament crown,
moving into a tie with Virginia coach Dom Starsia for the second-most
league tournament championships. Dave Klarmann, who serves as a
volunteer assistant coach for the Blue Devils, won five ACC Tournament
titles.
Trailing 13-12 late in the fourth period, Keaney scored on an assist
from Kevin Cassese to tie the game with 2:02 remaining. After Cassese
won the ensuing face-off, the Blue Devils held possession until Keaney
broke free from behind the goal and beat Virginia goalkeeper Tillman
Johnson. Duke then won the face-off and maintained possession until
turning the ball over with two seconds left. Virginia's desparation
length-of-the-field shot was corralled by Kincel wide of the goal.
Virginia bolted out to a 4-1 lead in the opening seven minutes as Billy
Glading tallied two goals. Back-to-back goals by Dan Doty and Jimmy
Regan just 48 seconds apart pulled Duke within 4-3, and then the two
squads traded goals in the final 40 seconds of the period including a
short-handed tally by Duke's Taylor Wray with 15 seconds left to make
the score 5-4 after one quarter.
After John Christmas found the back of the net for a two-goal Cavalier
lead, Duke used a 3-1 spurt with Regan scoring twice to knot the game at
7-7 with less than a minute remaining in the half. Virginia responded
as Joe Yevoli scored with just 17 seconds left to give the Cavaliers a
one-goal halftime advantage.
Following a goal by Duke's Dan Chemotti that tied the game, Virginia
received consecutive goals from Yevoli and Brenndan Mohler to push the
Cavaliers ahead by two goals. The Blue Devils then put together a 4-0
run to claim a 12-10 lead at the 11:52 mark of the final period on
Regan's fourth and final goal of the day. The Cavaliers then scored
three straight goals as Christmas sandwiched goals around a tally by
A.J. Shannon to put Virginia ahead, 13-12, with just under five minutes
remaining.
Alex Lieske paced the Duke offense with three goals and three assists
while Regan added a career-high five points on four goals and one
assist. For Virginia, Chrismas logged three goals and one assist. The
Cavaliers played the final 55:09 without All-America defender Mark
Koontz, who left the game after reinjuring his knee less than five
minutes into the contest.
