How do players who just won an NCAA championship celebrate?

They devour Bloomin’ Onions, Aussie cheese fries and steaks, then top everything off with a Chocolate Thunder From Down Under.

Yes, shortly after winning the seventh championship in program history on Sunday in Cary, N.C., the Virginia men’s soccer team dined at an Outback Steakhouse.

“It was great,” said Virginia coach George Gelnovatch. “Normally we’re running onto the bus, getting a burrito from Chipotle because we’re in a rush to get back to school and get guys back to class at a reasonable hour. But the game was at noon and we had a little time.

“Our nutritionist, Kelly Rossi, texted us to say that the boys could eat anything.”

They certainly deserved it after holding UCLA scoreless for 110 minutes en route to a penalty-kick shootout victory.

In a final gathering with the media outside of University Hall on Monday, Gelnovatch said winning the championship had yet to really sink in.
