The Cavaliers (10-3) were seeded No. 5, the same position they held in the final U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association poll released Sunday. Notre Dame (10-1) was ranked 14th.
The Fighting Irish, coached by UVa graduate and one-time Cavaliers assistant Kevin Corrigan, received the bid that annually is reserved for the western region.
Notre Dame's only loss was 15-8 to 12th-ranked Georgetown, which did not make the field. Virginia defeated the Irish 19-9 last year in a game the Cavaliers led 12-2 at the half.
If UVa gets past Notre Dame, the Cavaliers would visit fourth-seeded North Carolina, which received a first-round bye. The Tar Heels (10-4) beat Virginia 15-7 in the ACC tournament championship game after losing 16-6 to UVa during the regular season.
Invitations for the eight-team Division III field conformed to the final USILA poll, which meant ninth-ranked Roanoke College (8-5) and No. 11 Washington and Lee (9-5) will stay at home.
In other sports in the region:
In Lynchburg, two Roanoke players won titles Sunday at the U.S. Tennis Association-sanctioned Blue Ridge Classic. Top-seeded Armistead Lemon routed Gray Parnell of Lynchburg 6-0, 6-1 in the girls' 18-and-under final, and third-seeded Hampton Pasley breezed past Chip Dunstan of Lynchburg 6-1, 6-1 in the boys' 14-and-under final.
Andrew Hudick of Roanoke won the "A" singles title Sunday at the U.S. Handball Association Mid-Atlantic Regional in Baltimore.

Gunnar Shogren won the Trek Escape, the second stop in the five-race Mountain Dew East Coasters Virginia state championship mountain bike series.
Shogren, a professional rider for the Diamondback team, finished the 25-mile race on Potts Mountain near New Castle in 2 hours, 39 minutes, 36 seconds. Roanoke's Robby Robinson, riding for the East Coasters, won the vet class, and teammate Christina Baum of Blacksburg won the women's expert class.
In Chapel Hill, N.C., two Roanoke College track and field athletes placed at the UNC May Motivation Meet. Courtney Fitch cleared 6 feet, 8 inches to finish third in the men's high jump, and Renae Rose placed third in her section of the 400 meters with a time of 1 minute, 2.2 seconds.
