It was the 10th straight NCAA Tournament victory for the Cavaliers, who will entertain ACC rival Maryland (14-5-1) at 1 p.m. Nov.27 in the second round.
David Fitzmaurice scored Virginia's first goal on a pass from Mike Fisher with 36 minutes, 15 seconds gone in the first half. Tain Nix made it 2-0 only 90 seconds later, tipping in a ball that had been headed toward the goal by teammate Damian Silvera.
Mike Fisher scored the final goal for the Cavaliers (18-3-1), with assists from Fitzmaurice and Nix. It was the third shutout in the past four games for UVa, which had a 15-4 advantage in shots over the Spartans (17-5).
``By the score, it may have seemed it was won easy,'' said Bruce Arena, the Cavaliers' coach, ``but, it wasn't easy. They were a very tough team to play.''
