1 Division I Highlights Pre-NCAA Champions...50

2 8 Division I Lacrosse - Championship Highlights Division I Championship Highlights 2013 Duke junior faceoff specialist Brendan Fowler won 20 of 28 faceoffs and junior Jordan Wolf scored four goals to lead the Blue Devils to the 2013 NCAA Men s Lacrosse Championship with a victory against top-seeded Syracuse. The national championship is the second for the Blue Devils and the second for head coach John Danowski. Fowler garnered the Most Outstanding Player award, while David Lawson and Jake Tripucka joined him on the all-tournament team. Wolf led all scorers in the game with four goals and two assists, while Josh Offit and Josh Dionne had three apiece. Offit posted five points overall and Tripucka had four (2 goals, 2 assists). Well, first we want to congratulate Syracuse University, Danowski said. Such a rich tradition and a classy coaching staff and great young men who played really hard. Nobody scripts being down 4 0 or 5 0, and inside I think we were all freaking out. But Jake Tripucka s first goal I think allowed everybody to relax a little bit. Having Brendan Fowler at the faceoff X certainly doesn t hurt anybody s confidence when he trots out there. And at halftime, we basically said that we need to play Duke lacrosse over the next 30 minutes... I think we were settled down at halftime, and then just continued to play the game. Duke fell behind 5-0 to start the game, but outscored the Orange 12-1 to grab a 13-7 lead with 10:47 left in the fourth quarter en route to the six-goal victory. Syracuse raced out to a 5-0 lead in the opening 15:42 before Jordan Wolf put the Blue Devils on the scoreboard for the first time at the 12:54 mark of the second quarter. After the Orange responded to make it 6-1, Tripucka got to the crease for his 22nd goal of the season and the first of his two of the afternoon to spark a 4-0 run that sent the Blue Devils into the locker room trailing by one at 6-5. Four different Blue Devils netted goals in the run, including freshman Myles Jones. Duke s defense was buckled down in the second quarter, allowing just two goals and held the Orange scoreless in the final 11:47. Led by Fowler, the Blue Devils dominated faceoffs in the second quarter, winning 7 of 8 and picking up 13 ground balls to Syracuse s six. Duke also outshot the Orange 13-6 in the second session after allowing 15 in the opening frame. Well, obviously with such a big stage I think people just want to make plays, Dionne said. It s a natural occurrence. But I think our coaching staff did a great job at settling us down. To reiterate what Coach said, we wanted to play Duke lacrosse and I think everyone saw that and it was evident when we started doing that and when our seniors got patient, we got patient. Fowler continued his dominance at the X in the third quarter, winning all seven restarts and ultimately 13 consecutive as the Blue Devils completed the comeback with a Lawson score 2:02 into the third period. The scoring pace slowed as neither team scored through the next seven minutes. Obviously winning faceoffs and getting the ball back makes it a lot easier to score goals, Fowler said. But early I violated a few times, kind of let it get to my head a little bit. Once I cooled down a little and stuck to what I do every day, got into a groove there and just felt pretty good going out there every time. The Orange ended its 22:19 scoreless drought at the 4:28 mark of the third to go back up 7-6, but Duke responded with seven unanswered goals for the 13-7 lead with 10:47 to play in the game. The first six of those goals came in a span of 5:17 from the sticks of four different players. Tripucka capped off the run with an unassisted score at the 10:47 mark. Syracuse was able to pull back within four again off of a pair of JoJo Marasco goals before Wolf and Offit added a combined three more for the Blue Devils in two minutes to ice the victory as the time winded down. Kyle Turri finished with 10 saves to become just the fifth goalie in Duke history to register 10-plus saves in three NCAA tournament contests. Dylan Donahue led all Syracuse scorers with four points, while Marasco finished with three (2 goals, 1 assist). Dom Lamolinara made 11 saves for the Orange in 60 minutes of action.

Attendance: 28, Loyola Maryland wins first title; Lusby scores four times to give Greyhounds championship: Unranked at the beginning of the season, Loyola Maryland is No. 1 at the end. Loyola Maryland beat Maryland, 9-3, May 28 to win the Division I Men s Lacrosse National Championship, three months after the Greyhounds opened the season miffed at being overlooked in preseason polls. We knew what we had in our locker room through the whole year. It s just been an unbelievable journey, said Eric Lusby, who scored four goals and set an NCAA record with 17 in the tournament. Loyola Maryland completed one of the most rewarding runs possible, going from unranked to No. 1 seed and finally national champion. The Greyhounds captured their first NCAA title and finished the season Loyola Maryland was in the title game for the first time since losing to Syracuse in 1990 when current Maryland coach Charley Toomey was a goalie for the Greyhounds. We don t bring up past history. This is our team, Toomey said. This is a special group of young men that fought through a lot of things this year to put themselves in this position, and they stood tall on the biggest day. Maryland s three goals were the fewest allowed this season by Loyola Maryland, which shut out the Terrapins (12-6) for the final 40 minutes and 40 seconds of the match. The Terps lost in the title game for the second consecutive year. I think individually they won the majority of the matchups. We were having a tough time getting leverage, Maryland coach John Tillman said. Chris Layne added three assists and Jack Runkel finished with six saves for the Greyhounds, whose only loss this season was to Johns Hopkins in overtime April 28. When the game ended, Loyola Maryland s players rushed the field, leaving a trail of sticks, helmets and gloves for a celebratory pileup. The players then ran across the field and a few leaped into the stands to join the fans before lining up and shaking hands with the Maryland players. The two Maryland schools are separated by about 30 miles, but it was only their 21st meeting and first since the Terrapins 19-8 victory in the 1998 national semifinals. The Greyhounds scored seven unanswered goals after falling behind 3-2. The last three came from Lusby, who had five goals in the Greyhounds 7-5 win against Notre Dame in the semifinals Saturday. It s kind of hard to explain. I just got hot at the right time. I knew going into the tournament my shot was a little off. I kept missing the cage, so I knew I just wanted to shoot for net. I just have to give credit to all the other guys on the offense, Lusby said. When I had the opportunity to shoot and score I just wanted to make sure I made it count. Lusby broke the tournament record of 16 goals shared by Matt Ward of Virginia (2006) and Zack Greer (2007) of Duke. The Greyhounds scored three times unanswered in the second quarter for a 5-3 lead at halftime. Loyola Maryland s Justin Ward scored the only goal of DIVISION I HIGHLIGHTS

4 10 Division I Lacrosse - Championship Highlights the third quarter. Then the Greyhounds pulled away with three more in the fourth. Lusby added his second goal 3:48 into the fourth quarter. He tied the tournament record with 5:07 left and broke it with the final goal of the game, scoring with 3:45 to go. I think they did a great job on the defensive end making us a little uncomfortable, Maryland s Drew Snider said. Maryland opened the scoring on defenseman Jesse Bernhardt s goal with 9:36 left in the first quarter. The Terps went up 3-2 early in the second when Kevin Cooper scored from in front, but the Greyhounds scored the next seven. Bernhardt was knocked out of the game in a scary collision early in the first quarter. He managed to walk off the field, but Tillman said he likely had a concussion.

Attendance: 30, Virginia tops Maryland to win title: Colin Briggs wasn t sure if he would get a chance to play in the national championship game. The Virginia midfielder stood on the sidelines May 28 watching his Cavaliers beat Denver in the semifinals. Coach Dom Starsia had suspended him before the semifinals for committing a team infraction and was noncommittal when asked the evening of May 28 if the senior would be in uniform for the championship game. Starsia decided to reinstate Briggs, and it proved a wise move. Briggs scored a career-high five goals as seventh-seeded Virginia edged Maryland, 9-7, in a slow, methodical affair to capture its fifth Division I national championship. Briggs scored three times on uncontested shots and twice beat defenders 1-on-1, earning the most outstanding player award. I definitely disappointed myself and let down the team on Saturday. I wanted to come back (for the title game) and give everything I had, Briggs said. I got some open looks and was able to finish some shots. Game time temperature was 96 degrees and it was even hotter at field level on a sun-scorched afternoon. Briggs appeared a step faster than everyone else and agreed that sitting out of the semifinals gave him an edge over those who were playing for the second time in three days. I definitely felt fresh out there, especially in the fourth quarter. I still had legs while maybe some other guys didn t, he said. Matt White scored three goals for Virginia (13-5), which has captured four of its NCAA titles under Starsia, the Division I all-time leader with 329 career victories. This one was particularly satisfying for Starsia since the Cavaliers had to overcome the the dismissal of Shamel Bratton and suspension of his twin brother, Rhamel, both All-American midfielders, as well as a season-ending injury to top defenseman Matt Lovejoy. Top attackman Steele Stanwick was hobbled for much of the season with an injury while the Briggs suspension was the latest setback in what Starsia termed the most peculiar season I ve ever been involved with. After losing four of five games from March 26 to April 22, Virginia reinvented itself both offensively and defensively. Starsia switched to a zone defense while the normally run-and-gun Cavaliers installed a more controlled offense. Those changes paid dividends as Virginia closed the season with five straight wins. This moment is particularly gratifying when you consider all that we endured to put ourselves in this position, Starsia said. We had to reconfigure ourselves midseason and the players had to pick themselves off the ground. We were willing to change our personality on both ends of the field, and we got better at the end of the year as a result. Nick O Reilly contributed a goal and four assists for the Cavaliers, who responded with three straight goals after the Terrapins tied the score at six with 11:43 remaining. Adam Ghitelman made nine saves as the Cavaliers secured their third crown since Grant Catalino had two goals and an assist for unseeded Maryland (13-5), which fell despite outshooting Virginia, 32-26, and winning 12 of 19 faceoffs. Midfielder John Haus had a goal and two assists for the Terps, who committed numerous unforced errors on the offensive end and finished with 13 turnovers in the slow-paced game. Our game plan was to attack inside with the two-man crease. I think we got a lot of good looks early, but Adam made some saves, we hit a few pipes and missed some shots, Catalino said. I think we prepared hard and executed our game plan. It just seemed like the ball didn t roll our way (in the championship). Goalie Niko Amato made eight saves for Maryland, which lost in the finals for the sixth time since capturing its last national championship in The Terrapins had their own challenges to overcome, beginning with a head coaching change in the offseason. Numerous starters missed games with injuries while attackman Ryan Young s mother died of pancreatic cancer April 17. I m very disappointed for the 48 guys in our locker room. I couldn t be more proud of this group, both as players and as people because of the way they handled the last 12 months, Maryland coach John Tillman said. It s been a long year with all the things we had to deal with. The coaching transition, all the injuries, Maria Young s death, through it all we played like Terps and represented our school, our state and our alumni with class. Briggs scored three of his goals during a 4-0 run that turned a 3-2 deficit into a 6-3 lead for Virginia. Catalino had a goal and an assist as Maryland answered with a 3-0 run to tie the score for the fourth time at 6-6 with 11:43 left in the fourth quarter.

7 Division I Lacrosse - Championship Highlights Duke wins first NCAA men s lacrosse title: Duke won its first Division I Men s Lacrosse Championship in a dramatic final game May 31, beating Notre Dame, 6-5, on a goal five seconds into sudden-death overtime. The game featured five ties and four lead changes, and no team led by more than one goal through the entire matchup. It was the lowest-scoring title game in history, as both teams prioritized defense throughout the contest. The victory was the first for the Blue Devils in three appearances in the championship game. I am extremely happy and joyful for our students and anybody who has ever worn a Duke jersey, said Duke head coach John Danowski. This game was a great battle. Sophomore CJ Costabile won the opening faceoff in overtime, raced down the middle of the field, dodged several Notre Dame defensemen and unleashed a high shot into the net to lift the No. 5 seed Blue Devils to the 6-5 overtime victory. Duke held a narrow edge in shots and won the ground ball game The faceoff game was an even battle with the Fighting Irish winning eight to the Blue Devils seven. Neither team scored on man-up opportunities. Zach Brenneman scored three goals and Scott Rodgers finished with 15 saves for the Irish, but he couldn t stop the last shot that came his way. That ended a brilliant postseason run by Notre Dame, which defeated three seeded teams to advance to the title game for the first time. The game was played cautiously by both sides, with defense and possession the priority. The teams set a championship-game record for fewest combined goals through three quarters (eight) and tied the mark for fewest at halftime (five). Notre Dame went up 5-4 with 11:56 left in the fourth quarter by converting a rare fastbreak. David Earl picked up a loose ball and ran 30 yards before passing across the field to Sean Rogers, who pumped a shot past goaltender Dan Wigrizer. Justin Turri scored for the Blue Devils with 8:44 left to tie the game for the last time. Duke led 3-2 at halftime after scoring the lone goal of the second quarter. The Blue Devils took 13 shots in the half, including nine on goal, but Rodgers had six saves and Duke committed five turnovers. It took only 49 seconds after the start of the game for Notre Dame to go up 1-0 on a goal by Brenneman. Then, after Duke used goals by Zach Howell and Steve Schoeffel to take the lead, Brenneman scored again with 50 seconds left during a first quarter in which both teams worked the ball for several minutes at a time. That only served as a precursor for a dreary second quarter in which the only goal came on a shot by Schoeffel with 1:24 left. Early in the third quarter, Earl provided hope for a more offense-oriented game. With a Duke defender on his back, he scored with a low shot while being knocked from his feet. The goal ended Notre Dame s 17-minute scoring drought. Howell put the Blue Devils back in front, and Brenneman s third goal tied it at 4 with 1:12 left in the quarter All-Tournament Team: Duke: CJ Costabile, Zach Howell, Michael Manley, Max Quinzani; Notre Dame: Zach Brenneman, Kevin Ridgway, Scott Rodgers (MOP); Virginia: Chris Bocklet, Steele Stanwick; Cornell: Steve Mock.

Attendance: 37, Syracuse Cruises to 10th NCAA Title: FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Kenny Nims never realized how desperate things had become for Syracuse because he refused to consider the possibility that the defending NCAA lacrosse champions might actually lose. Never count us out, said Nims, who scored with 4.5 seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime and help the Orange beat Cornell, 10-9, for their second straight title. Cody Jamieson scored the game-winner 80 seconds into overtime to give Syracuse a victory over its central New York rival. Jamieson, a transfer who didn t become eligible until April, has scored eight of his nine goals this season during the NCAA tournament. It was the ninth time the championship game has gone into overtime, and the first since Princeton beat Syracuse, 10-9, in Syracuse, which never led before the final score, is the first team to win consecutive men s lacrosse titles since Princeton in John Glynn scored three goals with two assists -- all in the first half -- to help Cornell open a three-goal lead before Syracuse began to cut into the deficit. Stephen Keogh scored with 3:37 left, then Jamieson cut it to 9-8 less than a minute later. In the final seconds of regulation, Keogh scrambled for a loose ball and flipped it over his head to Matt Abbott, who brought it into the attacking zone and found Nims all alone in front. For Cornell midfielder Max Seibald, it was a reminder of the 2007 NCAA semifinal game in which the Big Red lost to Duke with 3 seconds left. Jamieson s goal with 2:40 left in the 4-minute, sudden death overtime spawned an orange wave of celebration that left a wake of discarded helmets down the center of the field. Jake Myers had 10 saves for Cornell, and John Galloway stopped 10 shots for Syracuse, which vacated its 1990 title and officially has 10 titles -- still one more than Johns Hopkins.
