Ward played NCAA Division I lacrosse at the University of Virginia from 2003 to 2006, where he was a three time USILA All-American at the attack position, and won the Tewaaraton Trophy in 2006 as the nation's best player. He led the Virginia Cavaliers to two NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championships, in 2003 and 2006. The 2006 Cavalier season was also notable because it marked the first time in NCAA history that a Division I men's lacrosse team had finished a season with a 17-0 record.
