2 14 DIVISION I LACROSSE - CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS Division I Championship Highlights 2011 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 sunscorched 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 runand-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.

4 16 DIVISION I LACROSSE - CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS 2010 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 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 and record 11th overall. 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.

7 DIVISION I LACROSSE - CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS Syracuse Earns Ninth NCAA Title: FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Syracuse won its ninth NCAA men s lacrosse championship, beating defending champion Johns Hopkins, 13-10, behind three goals from Dan Hardy. The crowd of 48,970 was the largest to see an NCAA championship outdoors in any sport -- the BCS football championship game isn t an NCAA event. John Galloway stopped seven shots for the Orange, who won their first title since 2004 and improved to 3-2 against Johns Hopkins in NCAA title games. Mike Leveille, who had five goals in the semifinal win over Virginia, was the tournament s most outstanding player. Paul Rabil scored a career-high six goals for Johns Hopkins, one off the titlegame record. Blue Jays goalie Michael Gvozden stopped 20 shots. Syracuse and Johns Hopkins are the two most successful teams in college lacrosse history -- by wins and championships. Johns Hopkins also was going for its 10th title since lacrosse became an NCAA sport in 1971; Syracuse s 10 championships include the one it won in 1990 that was later vacated for using an ineligible player. The crowd was mostly for Syracuse, with sections of orange filling the red and blue lower bowl that was built for the New England Patriots. The Orange fans saw their team take a 9-7 lead that was trimmed to one goal when Stephen Peyser drew a double-team before flipping the ball back to Rabil, who scored with just more than four minutes left in the third quarter. But Hardy completed his hat trick on the ensuing possession, and Syracuse added two goals 10 seconds apart to make it 13-8 before Johns Hopkins managed to cut the lead. All-Tournament Team: Syracuse: Mike Leveille (MOP), Dan Hardy, Danny Brennan, Sid Smith; Johns Hopkins: Paul Rabil, Kevin Huntley, Michael Evans, Michael Gvozden; Duke: Zack Greer; Virginia: Danny Glading.

Attendance: 48, Johns Hopkins Earns Ninth NCAA Title: Johns Hopkins senior goalkeeper Jesse Schwartzman turned away Duke midfielder Brad Ross shot with 10 seconds remaining with a well-placed kick and preserved the Blue Jays lead in the NCAA Division I final at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. The save earned Schwartzman the game s Most Outstanding Player award, though senior attackman Jake Byrne and junior midfielder Paul Rabil were excellent for Johns Hopkins, as well, with four goals and five assists, respectively, to power a Johns Hopkins offense that scored 10 first-half goals in building up a six-goal halftime lead. Schwartzman, who was also the Most Outstanding Player of the 2005 championship game and is 10-1 career in the postseason, was able to slow a Duke attack that featured two first-team All-Americans all day, finishing with 15 saves and holding junior Zack Greer and senior Matt Danowski to one combined goal. The Blue Jays never trailed in the game; however, they had to withstand a furious second-half charge from the Blue Devils, who took 27 shots after the intermission. Freshman attackman Max Quinzani started the Duke run when he picked up a Greer rebound five minutes into the third period, and Ned Crotty took a Danowski assist at the top of the restraining box to convert a man-up opportunity and cut the lead to Ross had his second of the game 1:30 later, and sophomore midfielder Mike Catalino scored his seventh goal of the season with 7:44 remaining. Peter Lamade cut the lead to 10-9 less than three minutes later, but Rabil s lone goal one minute into the fourth period came after a nice swim move and ended the Blue Devil run. Danowski converted a broken play 1:30 later to cut the lead back to one and Quinzani deflected in a Nick O Hara pass with 4:37 remaining to tie the score Junior attackman Kevin Huntley scored the game-winning goal with 3:25 remaining after Rabil corralled a Duke failed clear. Johns Hopkins strengthened its bid for a second championship in three seasons and ninth overall by playing a nearly flawless first half, including winning faceoffs and scoring on all three extra-man opportunities. The Blue Jays jumped out to an early lead when Byrne took a pass from Rabil off of the opening faceoff and beat Duke goalie Dan Loftus just 12 seconds into the game. Huntley doubled Johns Hopkins lead seven minutes later when Rabil, in one of his most athletic moves of the day, ran through a double-team and delivered the pass, picking up his second assist. Duke got on the board with 4:15 remaining in the quarter when Ross beat Schwartzman with a hard overhand shot from 11 yards out. Crotty evened up the score with an extra-man goal two minutes later, but senior midfielder Stephen Peyser answered with :39 remaining and Huntley scored 19 seconds later to close the first quarter with a 4-2 Johns Hopkins lead. Just 33 seconds into the second quarter, Peyser struck again when he swept to his right across to the top of the box and put a nice shot low and away past Loftus, tipping off a 6-2 Johns Hopkins second-quarter run. Johns Hopkins was able to overcome the vaunted Duke ride through much of the game finishing on clears. The Blue Jays finished with a distinct faceoff advantage, winning draws including 8-12 from senior Jamison Koesterer, but turned the ball over 17 times to Duke s 10. The Blue Devils got 10 saves from Loftus and held Johns Hopkins freshman midfielder Michael Kimmel scoreless. Peyser picked nine groundballs in the win.
