Virginia Lacrosse made a stunning change in leadership this morning.
The univerisity announced that two-time national champion head coach Lars Tiffany would no longer be leading the program and that a national search would begin immediately. Tiffany posted a 108-51 record, including back-to-back national championships in 2019 and 2021, in 10 seasons at Virginia.
Tiffany is responsible for two of the seven national championships in program history and his firing comes after an up and down season for the Hoos.

Virginia got hot in the ACC Tournament and defeated the Fighting Irish and avenged their loss to UNC in a blowout in the tournament championship. UVA looked like they were going to be one of the favorites to win the national championship, but lost in a really poor showing at home against Georgetown and Tiffany had this to say after the game:
