It was a long, five-year journey for Ricky Miezan to score his first college lacrosse goal. Once the top lacrosse recruit in the country and committed to play at the University of North Carolina, Miezan changed directions and accepted an offer to go play linebacker at Stanford University.
After the 2022 season with the Cardinal, Miezan decided to go back to the sport he loved so much and transferred to Virginia to join the No. 1 ranked men’s lacrosse team.
The Cavaliers opened their season on Saturday afternoon against Michigan, and Miezan wasted no time getting his first career score. Miezan took the field, caught a pass from his teammate, and trucked down the right side of the field for the low burner.

Good luck stopping that coming out of the substitution box.
