Virginia and Georgetown will both be playing lacrosse a little earlier than expected on Saturday because of the threat of severe thunderstorms.

The No. 6 Cavaliers (8-3, 1-1 ACC) will play at No. 9 Duke (9-4, 2-0) at 11 a.m. rather than noon. The winner will secure the No. 1 seed in next weekend’s ACC tournament.

Meanwhile, Georgetown (5-5) will play host to No. 19 Loyola (6-3) at 3:15 p.m. That game was originally scheduled for 7 p.m.
