All eyes were on Philadelphia, where a trio of freshmen (goalie Adam Ghitelman and Bratton twins Rhamel and Shamel) and a high-profile transfer (Peter Lamade) took the field for No. 2-ranked Virginia's season-opener against No. 20 Drexel. But it was Garrett Billings' seven-point performance that delivered the Cavaliers an 11-7 victory.

Also in the mix this week: Hofstra's women dominate at UMBC; the No. 5 Notre Dame men survive a scare at Loyola; and two mid-Atlantic men's programs, No. 13 Delaware and UMBC, face off for a cause in front of 4,500 fans in Neptune Beach, Fla.
