So much for thinking this game would be a repeat of last year's defensive contest. ND has some problems in the first hallf on ground balls and clears; hampered the offense. Virginny was up 5-3 at the half when it should have been closer to 10-3; then they went on two four goal tears beginning in the 3rd and the 4th quarters. ND wicked away at the lead closing to 9-6 at the end of the third, but the Irish could not get their O in sync. Virginia indeed looks strong. Johnny Christmas tree rings up 4G-2A,while both Chris Rotelli and Matt ward collected 3G-1A each.
