I had the chance to speak with Virginia coach Dom Starsia this morning. We talked about a few different things and toward the end of our conversation, I asked him if he thought his team would be this good at this point in the season.
"No," the Valley Stream Central native said. "We've won two overtime games; Hopkins has lost three of them. So the difference between the top couple of teams is paper thin. We are very happy to be 9-0 right now and we're fine being ranked No. 1. But we also know we've got a long way to go and what people take away from lacrosse seasons are the things that happen in the month of May, not so much in Feb and March. We've just to continue to improve so we really get going in the second half of the season."
If Virginia is this good and the weather hasn't totally warmed up yet, the Cavaliers could be tough to beat when the postseason rolls around come May.
What do you guys think about Virginia's chances to win it all? What do you think about college lacrosse season in general so far?
