Men's Lacrosse Drops Tight Opener to #1 Virginia, 9-8

PHILADELPHIA - Five years to the day after the Drexel men's lacrosse team opened its season by going into Charlottesville and knocking off No. 1 Virginia, the Dragons looked poised for a similar start to their year in 2012. Drexel went shot-for-shot with the defending national champions in each team's season opener in front of 2,331 at Vidas Field on Saturday afternoon, but fell just short as the Cavaliers escaped with a 9-8 defeat of the Dragons.
