STONY BROOK, N.Y. - Attackman Garrett Billings tied a school record with eight goals yesterday to lead Virginia's undefeated men's lacrosse team to a 20-10 triumph over Stony Brook. The victory was the Cavaliers' third in as many starts.

Billings got the Cavaliers off to a quick start with two goals in the opening five minutes as Virginia built a 5-0 lead late in the opening quarter. He tied the record set by Butch McCleary against Navy in 1958 and Doug Knight against Syracuse in 1996. Billings added three assists for a career-high 11 points, tied for third in program history.
