Virginia lacrosse coach Dom Starsia’s return for a 25th season looks up in the air.

The Hall of Famer doesn’t have a contract for next season, and late Tuesday night UVa Athletic Director Craig Littlepage was noncommittal when asked about his status.

“[We] evaluate our coaches and sport programs on an ongoing basis,” Littlepage wrote in an e-mail to The Daily Progress. “One of the goals for the Department of Athletics is to win conference and national championships and our [lacrosse] program has won 3 ACC and 3 NCAA championships since 2003.

“In recent years we haven't played at a championship level so we're now in the process of determining what's necessary for our men's lacrosse program to be successful and reach our desired goals.”

Starsia has led Virginia to four NCAA championships, but the program has missed the NCAA Tournament in two of the last four years, with the Cavaliers failing to make the ACC Tournament in each of the last three years. UVa has lost its last 12 games in ACC play and has a 1-16 record within the conference dating back to 2012.

Starsia’s contract, a copy of which was obtained through a public records request, was agreed to in 2012. It expires on Jan. 24 of the coming year.

+4 Virginia commit Lindell Stone is not your average quarterback Lindell Stone could have stayed home in Southlake, Texas, and played high school football in front of 20,000 rabid fans. Instead, he packed up when he was 14 and moved to a boarding school in the Virginia countryside that no one he knew ever heard of.
