With the Virginia women's lacrosse team facing a 13-4 deficit with 18 minutes to play, the Cavaliers called timeout--and proceeded to set an NCAA record for the largest comeback in NCAA Championships history, scoring the final ten goals of the game to defeat Duke 14-13. Jess Wasilewski, a Philadelphia native, scored her third goal of the game with nine seconds to play to cap the 10-0 run and send the Cavaliers to the finals, where they will face two-time reigning champion Northwestern. In the 10-0 run, Philadelphia native Megan Havrilla had three goals and 2006 National Rookie of the Year Blair Weymouth added a hat trick; Ashley McCulloch had one goal and three assists.

More information will be forthcoming.
