Ncaa lacrosse championship video. NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship Quarterfinals: Analysis, Predictions, and Key Matchups

What are the most anticipated matchups in the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship Quarterfinals. How do the top seeds compare to their challengers. Which teams have the best chance of advancing to the semifinals.

Cornell vs. Virginia: Battle of Offensive Powerhouses

The quarterfinal matchup between Cornell (14-2) and Virginia (9-6) promises to be an offensive showdown. Cornell’s dominant 12-5 victory over Hartford in the first round showcased their offensive firepower, with David Lau leading the charge with four goals. Virginia, on the other hand, narrowly escaped an upset against Bucknell, winning 13-12 thanks to Chris Bocklet’s five goals and Steele Stanwick’s five assists.

Virginia’s struggles against Bucknell raise questions about their consistency and ability to handle pressure. The ongoing issues with the Bratton brothers have clearly affected team dynamics. Cornell’s balanced attack and solid defense make them the favorites in this matchup.

Key Factors to Watch:

• Cornell’s offensive efficiency vs. Virginia’s shaky defense
• Virginia’s clearing game (91% success rate) and man-up opportunities (54% conversion rate)
• The impact of Rhamel Bratton’s return for Virginia

Can Virginia’s offense find its rhythm against Cornell’s stingy defense. Based on recent performances, Cornell appears to have the edge in this quarterfinal clash.

Johns Hopkins vs. Denver: East Coast Meets West

The Johns Hopkins Blue Jays (13-2) face off against the Denver Pioneers (14-2) in an intriguing matchup of contrasting styles. Johns Hopkins dominated Hofstra 12-5 in their first-round game, showcasing their balanced offense led by Kyle Wharton and Chris Boland. Denver, meanwhile, rode the momentum of their home crowd to a 13-10 victory over Villanova, with Jeremy Noble’s impressive four-goal, two-assist performance leading the way.

Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Johns Hopkins: Strong defense, experienced in high-pressure situations
• Denver: High-powered offense, question marks about performance away from home

How will Denver’s offense fare against the tough Johns Hopkins defense. The Blue Jays’ ability to frustrate opponents and force them into one-on-one situations could be a decisive factor in this game.

Syracuse vs. Maryland: Unseeded Underdog Challenge

One of the most anticipated quarterfinal matchups pits the Syracuse Orange against the unseeded Maryland Terrapins. Despite their lower seed, Maryland has the potential to give Syracuse all they can handle in this contest.

Factors That Could Swing the Game:

1. Maryland’s upset mentality and nothing-to-lose approach
2. Syracuse’s experience in high-stakes tournament games
3. Goalie play and defensive stands in crucial moments

Will Maryland’s underdog status fuel an inspired performance against the Orange. Syracuse’s tournament pedigree will be put to the test against a hungry Maryland squad looking to prove they belong among the elite.

Duke vs. Notre Dame: Championship Rematch

The quarterfinal round features a rematch of last year’s championship game between Duke and Notre Dame. This rubber match adds another chapter to their budding rivalry, with both teams having split their previous two encounters.

Recent History:

• 2010 NCAA Championship: Duke emerged victorious
• 2011 Regular Season: Notre Dame won the matchup

Which team will gain the upper hand in this pivotal quarterfinal clash. The familiarity between these two squads should lead to a tightly contested battle with championship-level intensity.

The Impact of Venue and Travel on Performance

The quarterfinal games are split between two locations: Hempstead, New York (Hofstra University) and Foxborough, Massachusetts (Gillette Stadium). This change in venue can have a significant impact on team performance, especially for squads that are used to playing in specific regions or environments.

Factors to Consider:

• Travel distance and potential fatigue
• Familiarity with playing conditions (turf, weather, etc.)
• Fan support and crowd dynamics

How will teams like Denver adjust to playing on the East Coast. The ability to adapt to new surroundings and maintain focus could be a deciding factor in these quarterfinal matchups.

The Role of Faceoffs in Quarterfinal Success

Faceoffs play a crucial role in determining possession and momentum in lacrosse. In the quarterfinal round, where every possession counts, dominating the faceoff X can be the difference between advancing and going home.

Notable Faceoff Performers:

• Matt Dolente (Johns Hopkins): 13 wins out of 21 opportunities vs. Hofstra
• Chase Carraro (Denver): 14 wins out of 27 opportunities vs. Villanova
• Doug Tesoriero (Cornell): 10 wins out of 21 opportunities vs. Hartford

Which faceoff specialist will give their team the edge in the quarterfinals. Winning the battle at the X can lead to extended possessions and scoring opportunities, potentially swinging the outcome of these high-stakes games.

Goalie Play: The Last Line of Defense

In tournament play, strong goalie performances can often be the difference between victory and defeat. As the competition intensifies in the quarterfinal round, goalies will be under immense pressure to make game-changing saves and anchor their team’s defense.

Goalies to Watch:

• AJ Fiore (Cornell): 6 saves on 24 shots vs. Hartford
• Adam Ghitelman (Virginia): 11 saves on 47 shots vs. Bucknell
• Pierce Bassett (Johns Hopkins): 9 saves on 25 shots vs. Hofstra
• Jamie Faus (Denver): 13 saves on 37 shots vs. Villanova

Which goalie will rise to the occasion and lead their team to the semifinals. A hot goalie can frustrate even the most potent offenses, making them a critical factor in these quarterfinal matchups.

The Importance of Man-Up Opportunities

In tight games, converting man-up opportunities can be the deciding factor. Teams that can capitalize on their opponents’ penalties while staying disciplined themselves often find success in tournament play.

Man-Up Statistics to Consider:

• Virginia’s 54% conversion rate on man-up opportunities
• Cornell’s efficiency in drawing penalties (6 man-up chances vs. Hartford)

How will teams balance aggression and discipline in these high-stakes quarterfinal games. The ability to stay out of the penalty box while converting man-up chances could be the key to advancing to the next round.

As the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship moves into the quarterfinal round, the intensity and quality of play are sure to increase. With a mix of traditional powerhouses and emerging programs, this year’s tournament has already provided thrilling moments and unexpected outcomes. The quarterfinals promise to deliver even more excitement as teams battle for a spot in the Final Four.

Fans can expect to see high-level lacrosse showcasing the sport’s best offensive talents, lockdown defenders, and clutch performers. Whether it’s the offensive fireworks of Cornell and Virginia, the tactical battle between Johns Hopkins and Denver, or the championship rematch between Duke and Notre Dame, each game offers its own unique storylines and potential for memorable moments.

As the tournament progresses, keep an eye on how teams adjust their strategies, manage the pressure of elimination games, and rise to the occasion when it matters most. The road to the national championship goes through these quarterfinal matchups, and only the strongest, most resilient teams will survive to compete for collegiate lacrosse’s ultimate prize.

2011 NCAA Lacrosse Championship: Previewing the Quarterfinals | Bleacher Report

There was a little bit of everything last weekend for every lacrosse fan.  Offensive shootouts, overwhelming defenses and great saves combined with close games, blowouts and an upset.

It’s your typical first round in an NCAA tournament.

So maybe the only top seed to lose, North Carolina at No. 8, isn’t a huge upset. I’d argue that Bucknell and Delaware’s upset bid against Virginia and Duke respectfully weren’t huge upsets either.  Bucknell played great down the stretch and dominated their conference tournament.  Delaware showed a lot of heart in their conference tournament to win it all and did it again at Duke where opponents usually get roasted in the first round.

The tournament now moves to Hempstead, New York and Foxborough, Massachusetts this weekend.  The second and third seed will play their foes at James M. Shuart Stadium at Hofstra on Saturday.  The first and fourth seed will play their challengers at Gillette Stadium on Sunday.

All the games are very interesting over the course of the weekend.  The unseeded Maryland team will probably give Syracuse all that they can handle in the game that most fans are interested in, according to Inside Lacrosse.  Duke and Notre Dame provide a rubber match of the last two games they played against each other, one in last year’s championship game and the other in an earlier game this season.  

Cornell is riding high as Virginia continues to struggle and fall despite holding on against Bucknell. Finally, it may not be the best game on tap, but it will be interesting to see how Denver will play outside of their home and against northeastern teams like Johns Hopkins.

CORNELL (14-2) def Hartford 12-5
Offensive Leaders: David Lau – four goals
Faceoffs: Doug Tesoriero – 10 wins out of 21 opportunities
Goalie: AJ Fiore – six saves on 24 shots

VIRGINIA (9-6) def Bucknell 13-12
Offensive Leaders: Chris Bocklet – five goals, Steele Stanwick – five assists
Faceoffs: Brian McDermott – eight out of 29 opportunities
Goalie: Adam Ghitelman – 11 saves on 47 shots

Cornell got off on a slow start against Hartford but started to pull away in the second quarter limiting the Hawks to zero goals and holding a 7-3 lead at half.  Leaders Lau and Rob Pannell scored half of Cornell’s goals and were very efficient once things settled down earlier in the game.  

The defense stepped up as well only allowing 10 shots off the entire second half. Hartford gave Cornell way too many man up opportunities, allowing two of the six and not converting any of their three opportunities.

Virginia struggled all game long and Bucknell attacked from beginning to end.  The Cavaliers were outplayed and if it wasn’t for Steele Stanwick’s goals and assists in the fourth quarter you wouldn’t be seeing them here today.  Obviously the issues with the Bratton brothers remains a distraction for this team, and it will be interesting to see how much of an impact Rhamel Bratton will be.

The Cavaliers have the edge in clearing, being one of the best teams in the nation at 91 percent and converting man up opportunities 54 percent of the time.  If they can get those opportunities they will need to convert.  

Cornell is just slightly better on offense and if you take the inactive Shamel Bratton out of the equation, those stats improve.

I didn’t like what I saw in Virginia’s inconsistent offense against Bucknell and their defense was terrible giving the Bison 25 shots.  Cornell is the better team on paper and video, and I believe this will be the most mismatched game of the weekend.

Prediction: Cornell pulls away in the second half and Virginia gets half of what they scored last weekend.

at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY

JOHNS HOPKINS (13-2) def Hofstra 12-5
Offensive Leaders: Kyle Wharton – three goals, Chris Boland – three assists
Faceoffs: Matt Dolente – 13 wins out of 21 opportunities
Goalie: Pierce Bassett – nine saves on 25 shots

DENVER (14-2) def Villanova 13-10
Offensive Leaders: Jeremy Noble – four goals, two assists
Faceoffs: Chase Carraro – 14 wins out of 27 opportunities
Goalie: Jamie Faus – 13 saves on 37 shots

I really liked my upset pick in the first half, but Hofstra fell off the map in the second half only shooting nine times as the Johns Hopkins defense stepped up in a big way.  All five goals by Hofstra in that game were converted by five different players.  Johns Hopkins poured it on as the defense frustrated the Pride and made them into a one-on-one team that lacked the fundamentals the rest of the game.

The atmosphere was terrific in Denver and the crowd was in it from beginning to end.  The high-octane offense of Villanova showed up and created an exciting game throughout.  In the end, the Wildcats got penalized too much.  Denver had eight extra man opportunities.  Denver also started spreading out the defense and shot 20 more times in the second half compared to only 10 times in the first half.  As expected, Villanova began to fatigue.

Denver will now have to bring its game east of the Mississippi River and face a juggernaut of the college lacrosse world.  It’s an ultimate test to find out if they can break through.  On paper, these teams are solid and Denver has an offensive edge, even if it’s a little skewed when you look at strength of schedule.

Both offenses spread out their attack and don’t just rely on one man.  If Denver can get someone like Jeremy Noble to step up and play with their lead men Mark Matthews and Alex Demopoulos, they easily have a chance to win. Having Todd Baxter back would be a huge plus as well with his 28 goals and 18 assists on the season.  Hopkins’ Chris Boland and Kyle Wharton will be trying to shoot often and the Pioneers will have to focus on them, but that can open up other players with wide-open shot opportunities.  I think Johns Hopkins is a little more experienced and deeper and will succeed in a very close game.

Prediction: Johns Hopkins finally gets to double digits and edges out Denver in the fourth quarter.

SYRACUSE (15-1) def Siena 10-4
Offensive Leaders: JoJo Marasco – three goals, Tommy Palasek – four assists
Faceoffs: Ricky Buhr – five wins out of 17 opportunities
Goalie: John Galloway – seven saves on 22 shots

MARYLAND (11-4) def North Carolina 13-6
Offensive Leaders: Drew Snider – four goals, Ryan Young – three assists
Faceoffs: Curtis Holmes – 15 wins out of 23 opportunities
Goalie: Niko Amato – 13 saves on 32 shots 

It didn’t take more than the first quarter to realize how mismatched these teams were.  Syracuse had a huge amount of shot opportunities (18 to four) and even though they only converted two goals, you could tell this would wear out Siena considerably.  It did, and the Orange iced the game during the fourth quarter and picked up four more goals to make the score look lopsided.

It’s hard for me to bang on Syracuse when you have to face a team that you clearly have the advantage over.  They didn’t play good, but Siena played worse.  It was pretty ugly, and I believe the Orange know they have to play far more efficiently to continue moving on, especially against a Maryland team that looked impressive last week.

I’ll be honest and admit I’ve overlooked Maryland.  They’ve played pretty well down the stretch and haven’t had that many issues on offense if you look beyond the box scores.  The Colgate game seems to be more of a game they were just tired in after having to go through the gauntlet known as the ACC Tournament.  It’s an overkill when not necessary, but that’s a topic for a different day.

The fans have it right, this is the best matchup all weekend.  Maryland weathered the storm from North Carolina when they shot 20 of their 27 shots in the middle two quarters and gave up only one goal in the third quarter after giving up three in the second.  This defense is good, and Syracuse will have to play smart and not overlook them.

Syracuse, though, is simply better.  They are more clutch, and have handled the big stage with flying colors.  Maryland is a decent defensive team, but they are not Notre Dame.  With all due respect to the Irish, Syracuse exposed them.  Too many playmakers on the field and it’s a more experienced team. Maryland shouldn’t have a horrible time scoring, but coming up with something like the great hidden ball trick that they played last weekend would help.

Prediction: Syracuse will hold on after both teams score in the double digits.

NOTRE DAME (11-2) over Penn 13-6
Offensive Leaders: Colin Igoe – three goals
Faceoffs: Jake Marmul – 16 wins out of 23 opportunities
Goalie: John Kemp – nine saves on 24 shots

DUKE (13-5) over Delaware 15-14
Offensive Leaders: Zach Howell – four goals
Faceoffs: CJ Costabile – six wins out of 32 opportunities
Goalie: Mike Rock – 12 saves on 40 shots

Denver had the best atmosphere, but Notre Dame was a close second.  It felt like a party with fans grilling around close to the field and the crowd doing a good job supporting their team.  The team fed off the crowd early and if any game was going to be 20-0, it looked like this game as Notre Dame just drilled Penn with four straight goals and dominated on faceoffs.

Penn held their own for a bit, but couldn’t do anything offensively from the second quarter and on. Turnovers in the first half gave both teams excellent shot opportunities.  What we expected as an offensively challenged game proved to be much more, and it may not be so shocking if the Irish can score on Duke.

The Blue Devils struggled to finish off Delaware and they usually dominate teams in the first round.  Like the Irish game, it felt like this game was going to be over early, but the Blue Hens stuck around until late.  They shot eight more times in the fourth quarter and almost completed a huge rally within the last three minutes, but it was probably too late to realistically expect them to win.

Until the exposure of Notre Dame’s defense to Syracuse a few weeks ago, I would have told you that this is a no-brainer for the Irish.  Now, it’s all about tempo.  Duke is like that flashy hot girl that’s more of a risk to have as your girlfriend.  While they look great on offense and score three more goals a game than the Irish, they have turned the ball over 118 more times this season and committed 34 more penalties.  If it’s up-tempo and Duke is getting their shots, Duke could nearly rout this team.  If it’s slowed down and you see both teams passing the ball around the goal multiple times, the Irish would have the edge.

Prediction: Duke, based on how the Irish have played at the end of the season.

NATIONAL CHAMPION – Men’s Lacrosse defeats Salisbury, 15-14, in 2OT to win 2021 NCAA Division III National Championship

Story Links

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – RIT senior midfielder Ryan Barnable (Whitby, Ontario/Donald A. Wilson) scored the double-overtime game-winning goal to lead the Tigers to a 15-14 victory over Salisbury in the 2021 NCAA Division III National Championship game, Sunday, at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Conn.

RIT clinched its first national championship in program history while finishing the season with an unblemished 14-0 record.  The third time was also the charm for the Tigers after falling in the 2013 and 2017 national championship games, including a 16-14 setback to the Sea Gulls four years ago.

Senior attackman Quinn Commandant (Rockwood, Ontario/The Kiski School) was named the tournament Most Outstanding Player after totaling five goals and two assists in the victory, including the game-tying goal with 12 seconds left in regulation.

Salisbury won the opening face-off of the second overtime, but senior LSM Taylor Jensen (New Westminster, British Columbia/New Westminster) caused a turnover to give the Tigers possession with 3:47 on the clock. Setting up the offense, senior attackman Marley Angus (Oakville, Ontario/Holy Trinity) took a shot that went wide of the cage, but the Tigers backed up the shot to retain possession with 2:30 on the clock. On the re-start, senior attackman Dawson Tait (Ottawa, Ontario/Mother Teresa) whipped a pass from behind the Sea Gulls’ goal to the top of the crease where Barnable jumped through a crowd to tip the ball out of the air into the net for the historic tally.

RIT senior goalie Walker Hare (Libertyville, IL/Libertyville) was credited with 14 saves, including a game-saving stop with 1:07 left in the first overtime.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Commandant scored the final goal of the first quarter and opened the second quarter with another tally to push the Tigers to a 5-3 with 13:03 on the clock. Salisbury answered at 10:28, but Commandant tallied again for a 6-4 RIT lead with 9:59 left in the half.
• Salisbury scored three-straight goals in a 1:27 stretch to take a 7-6 lead with 7:12 on the clock, but senior face-off specialist Nick Montemorano (Victor, NY/Victor) won the ensuing face-off and scored seven seconds later to kick-start a 3-0 run which yielded a 9-7 RIT halftime lead.
• Salisbury out-scored RIT, 4-1, in the third quarter and scored 25 seconds into the fourth to take a 12-10 lead. Tait capitalized on a Sea Gull miscue at 11:56 but Salisbury answered a minute later to retake a 13-11 lead.
• Junior midfielder Ryan Rosenblum (Limerick, PA/Spring-Ford) scored unassisted on a strong dodge in front with 8:47 remaining before Barnable bulled his way to the crease to knot the game, 13-13, 41 seconds later.
• Salisbury took a 14-13 lead with 7:13 left in regulation and was nearly able to run out the clock, but the Tigers capitalized on a Sea Gull turnover with 17 seconds left as Barnable hit Commandant on the crease to send the game to overtime. 
• RIT couldn’t convert the first two possession of the first overtime, but Hare also kept the Gulls at bay to force a second OT and setup Barnable and Tait’s double-overtime heroics.

QUOTABLE
WALKER HARE (re: what it feels like to win a national title):
It means the world. This is something I’ve never been able to experience before. We’re just elated to be a part of the team that did it for RIT. We talked with Lou Spiotti, our athletic director, last night. He reiterated how proud the school was of us and how they always had our back that no matter the outcome they would always be behind us, and we played like that today.

QUINN COMMANDANT (re: the game-tying goal in regulation):
It was a great play. I turned the ball over there. Dawson and Rosy made a great look and I was just the one knocking it home. It was a big one. It kept us alive.
 
COACH COON (re: his thoughts about the game):
Well, first of all, that was an incredible game. Just looking through the stats here, it was a dogfight; it was a battle. Kind of knew it was two evenly matched teams coming into today. At least we felt so. We knew we were going to be in a game like that. The guys were resilient all day long. Handled some adversity throughout the second half and made some plays. And I’m so excited for them. They put in a lot of time and effort, especially this year, it’s been a challenging year. So just so happy for them. I’m happy for RIT. Everyone who is involved with RIT lacrosse, our alumni, Mr. Spiotti, retiring this year, couldn’t think of a better finish for him. We had an interesting week. We had a player lose his mom. And he’s back home. He couldn’t even make this game. And these guys really rallied around him. It was really special. We also had a birth with our assistant coach had a child, his first child. So what an amazing feeling for everybody involved with RIT lacrosse.
 
(re: about winning a national championship):
I think one other question I get asked is, do I feel pressure to win one. And that’s never been the case. I think we believe in each other. We have that support. Everything was there for the making. We just needed to make plays in a 60-minute game and we were able to do that today. So, wow, it’s a great feeling. Surreal. But really fired up for the team out there. We had a bunch of fifth-year guys come back for this. And man, I can’t see a better finish for those guys. What a great group of fifth-year seniors, the leadership was wonderful. Guys just made plays.

GAME NOTES

• Montemorano won 14-of-31 face-offs and picked up a team-best seven ground balls.
• The Tigers went 1-for-2 with man advantage while holding Salisbury to 1-for-3 on its extra-man chances.

The Greatest NCAA Championship Game Ever

(Photos Courtesy of Cornell Athletics)

It was almost impossible for the 1976 NCAA championship game to live up to the hype.

Maryland and Cornell were the first undefeated teams to meet in the championship game. There were 11,954 fans in a packed Brown Stadium. And for the first time, national television was there as it was all recorded for ABC’s “Wide World of Sports.” 

“We could make or break the sport,” said an ABC technician in earshot of a Sports Illustrated writer.

Somehow, the game exceeded all of the expectations.

“I’ve seen a lot of lacrosse games,” says Mike French, the Cornell attackman and U.S. and Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Famer, in a recent interview with Inside Lacrosse. “I think ours has to be up there as one of the most exciting ever played.”

It was a who’s-who of stars on the field: For Cornell, the attack of French, the late great Eamon McEneaney and Jon Levine, who SI described as a “scholarly, bespectacled dentist-to-be.” Maryland, which was shorthanded in the final, had the incomparable Frank Urso to lead a deep midfield.

“As a sophomore he was named Midfielder of the Year. As a junior he was named Player of the Year. As a senior he was so good no one could think of a description worthy of the man,” wrote SI.

And of course, legends pacing the sidelines in Cornell coach Richie Moran and Maryland coach Bud Beardmore.

The Big Red won 16-13 in overtime, with French setting a tournament record with seven goals including the final in the second OT.

A three-goal overtime win? In those days, overtime was two four-minute periods instead of sudden death. 

“If it was sudden death, we would have lost,” said French. “Thank God they waited a few years to change OT.”

French wasn’t used to playing that late in the game — let alone fighting for a win. Cornell’s average margin of victory was 11 goals. In the opening round the Big Red shut out Washington & Lee, 14-0; they beat Johns Hopkins 13-5 in the semis.

“I played the whole game. That wasn’t something we were used to. We were used to being up by nine goals then telling Richie, ‘Make sure everyone else gets in there,’” French says.

The Terps sped out to a 7-2 lead at the half, but Cornell came back, with French hitting Levine with a behind-the-back pass to take the lead. French extended it to 12-10. 

“It was a pretty good day. It was one of those days where you throw the ball at the net and it just goes in,” says French.

Urso cut it to a one-goal deficit with three minutes left. Then the real excitement happened.

Urso dodged down field with 15 seconds left, and Cornell goalie Dan Mackesey made what they thought was the game-winning save with six seconds left. All hell broke loose after there was, as French recalls, “a mysterious horn from the sideline.”

Urso was given the ball back despite Moran’s shouts, and with Cornell playing under protest, he dodged and hit Greg Rumpf with a game-tying assist as the Cornell defense collapsed around him.

Maryland scored first in OT but wouldn’t score again.

“You can imagine, it was deflating to think you’d just won the national championship in regulation,” says French.

Billy Marino scored what would be the game-winner, and French finished it off. What French recalls most from that OT is his hit on Urso late in the game when he collided with the attack group at midfield.

“He tried to clear it himself, and we kinda ganged up on him. When he turned around, I knocked him down,” says French. McEneaney flipped it to French for the 16th and final goal.

“Typical Eamon,” says French. “He passed it when he probably could have scored it on his own.”

When the clock hit zeroes, the fans mobbed the field.

“A lot of classmates, my friends, all our friends, they were all there. It was a real big deal for us to be back in the finals. They were right on the sidelines,” says French. “I don’t think there was any control over adult beverages being transported into there. It was kinda like a tailgate that was along the sideline.”

For French, 45 years later, he thinks what it would have meant if they didn’t win that game.

“I would have been 0-fer. I would have been different,” he says, caught between the program’s ’71 and ’77 title wins.

“Cornell’s a real special place, it has an unbelievable culture and tradition. It’s easier to remain close to your teammates when you have an experience like that. Winning that game probably perpetuated all the great relationships and friendships I have with my teammates to this day. We can share that wonderful experience,” he says. “It could have been far from wonderful.

“You’re not going to have a reunion if you finish second.”

BACK TO THE FINAL: #1 Terps Dominate Duke, 14-5

Westwood One

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — #1-ranked and undefeated Maryland advanced to the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship Game for the 15th time in history with a dominating 14-5 win over second-seeded Duke (14-3) at a rainy and cold Pratt and Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field on Saturday afternoon. This will be the Terps sixth time in the championship game over the last 10 times the event has been held — since John Tillman took over as head coach in 2011. In the title game, the third-seeded Terps (15-0) will face fourth-seeded Virginia (13-4), who defeated top-seed North Carolina earlier in the day on Saturday. 

Tewaaraton Award front runner Jared Bernhardt scored five goals  — including the 200th of his career — and added two assists for seven points as he set the Maryland single-season record for points in a season with 94, breaking Ray Altman’s old record of 93 set in 1963.  

Anthony DeMaio had two goals and two assists, while Logan Wisnauskas tallied a pair of goals and had three points. The Terps’ defense was stellar as Logan McNaney made a career-high 17 saves as Duke, which came into the game averaging just under 15 goals per game, was held to five, a season low. 

The Terps will be seeking their fourth NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship on Monday, May 31 at 1 p.m., in a game that will air on ESPN2. Maryland last won the title in 2017, four years ago to the day of today’s Semifinal final, which ended a 42-year drought. The Terps also won the title in 1973 and 1975. 

BACK IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

• Playing in the NCAA Championship for the 15th time, Maryland is third all-time in final appearances behind Johns Hopkins (18) and Syracuse (16). 
• The Terps have previously played in the NCAA Championship in: 1971, 1973 (Champions), 1974, 1975 (Champions), 1976, 1979, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017 (Champions).
• Since John Tillman was hired by the Terps prior to the 2011 season, the Terps have played in the most NCAA Finals, appearing in six of the 10 held events. 
• Tillman now has 24 career wins in the NCAA Tournament, seventh-most in NCAA history and is 24-8. Tillman is now 18-5 since 2014 in the NCAA Tournament. 
• Tillman is 6-2 in eight NCAA Semifinal games at Maryland. 
• Maryland, which is playing in its 18th consecutive NCAA Tournament, the longest active streak in the nation, now has an all-time record of 66-39 (.629) in tournament games. The Terps’ wins are the second-most in NCAA Tournament history, behind only Johns Hopkins (71). Saturday’s 66th win moved Maryland into second ahead of Syracuse (65). 
• Maryland is playing in its 43rd overall NCAA Tournament, second-most of any program in history.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Denver won its first NCAA men’s lacrosse championship, beating Maryland 10-5 on Monday behind five goals from senior Wesley Berg.

Berg was chosen as the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. He ended the season with a team-record 58 goals.

Denver has won its first national title in men’s lacrosse. The victory gave coach Bill Tierney his record seventh title. He won six with Princeton.

Zach Miller added a goal and two assists for Denver. The fourth-seeded Pioneers (17-2) beat top-seeded Notre Dame in overtime in the semifinals Saturday.

Maryland made its third appearance in the past five national title games.

Denver took a 4-1 lead in the first quarter as Berg scored the Pioneers’ first three goals.

Goalie Ryan LaPlante kept the Terrapins (15-4) at bay with six saves over the first two quarters.

Denver held a 5-3 lead at halftime. After an empty possession for the Terps to begin the third quarter, Miller recovered a rebound and sent a shot past Maryland goalie Kyle Bernlohr with 11:43 left in the period.

Miller’s first goal of the game set the tone for the rest of the half, and Denver’s defense continued to frustrate Maryland.

Just over three minutes later, Colin Woolford scored his 10th goal of the season for the Pioneers.

Berg scored on an assist from Miller for an 8-3 lead.

Maryland entered the game with a 4-0 record against Denver all-time. But the Terps have struggled offensively this season and again had trouble scoring.

Story Links

FAIRFIELD, Conn. — Fairfield University will host three NCAA Men’s Lacrosse championship events between 2019 and 2022, including the 2021 and 2022 NCAA Division I, II and III Men’s Lacrosse Championship, at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field. Fairfield will also host the 2019 NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Quarterfinals, as announced by the NCAA on Tuesday afternoon.

The 2019 quarterfinals will be held on May 18 or 19 while the 2021 (May 29-31) and the 2022 (May 28-30) championships will be played over Memorial Day weekend of those respective years.

While this will be the first time that Fairfield University will host NCAA men’s lacrosse championship events, the institution has welcomed seven NCAA women’s basketball events (2004, 2006, 2008, 2012, 2013, 2016, and 2017) and four NCAA men’s ice hockey regionals (2009, 2011, 2012, and 2014) to the state. Fairfield University Director of Athletics Gene Doris, who serves as the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Committee Chair, has been at the heart of bringing these events to Connecticut.

“I am excited that the NCAA has given us an opportunity to host the men’s lacrosse quarterfinals and championships in the state of Connecticut,” Doris said. “The support for these events has been overwhelming. We are fortunate to host this event at a first-class facility like Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field.  I look forward to providing the coaches, student-athletes and all lacrosse fans a memorable experience.”

Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field is Connecticut’s leading sports and entertainment stadium. Managed by Spectra Venue Management, the stadium features 38,000 seats and is the premier regional location for large outdoor sports and entertainment events. Conveniently located between New York City and Boston in East Hartford, Connecticut, the stadium features chair backs and bench seats in its open-air stadium bowl with a Kentucky Blue Grass natural playing surface. The stadium features 38 luxury suites and a 635-seat club.

“We’re thrilled,” said Spectra Venue Management General Manager Chris Lawrence. “These are prestigious events and we’re honored to be hosting.  We look forward to working with Fairfield, the NCAA and everyone else involved.  This is a major win for East Hartford and the entire region. Pratt & Whitney Stadium will be a terrific site for these championships.”

Additional information regarding tickets and other key tournament dates for the 2019, 2021, and 2022 NCAA Men’s Lacrosse championships will be posted when available on the websites of the NCAA Championships and Fairfield University Athletics.

90,000 Temple University Men’s Football football

The Temple University Division I men’s soccer team based in Philadelphia, PA is participating in the American Athletics Conference.Owls were founded in 1926 and have a long history of success in NCAA competitions.

Assistant Trainer Alex Shinsky is a central figure in the Owls program, and in his role he uses wearable technologies Catapult and Catapult Vision, our video analysis solution.

By using both productivity solutions, the assistant coach can design a more effective analysis process, objectify performance strategies, and improve the program’s telecommuting capabilities.

Catapult Vision Integration: Better Analysis

By using both wearable devices and video analysis solutions, the assistant coach can identify and take advantage of a more efficient performance analysis process.

“The integration of both solutions makes the entire analysis process much more efficient. We no longer need to use many different programs, now we only have one.

“What we really like is that we can overlay the readings from the devices on top of the video.This allows us to provide better feedback to players as they can clearly see the context of the gameplay and we can better understand the overall health and performance of the players. ”

Performance Objectification

With the help of Catapult, the assistant coach can lead an objective program and coordinate performances with the Sov’s goal of achieving the NCAA National Championship.

“Catapult really forms the backbone of our performance knowledge as we can access a range of different metrics such as sprint speed, distance traveled and PlayerLoad.This gives us a better understanding of what we physically do the players through, and thanks to this we can shape our program in a more objective way and not rely only on intuition. ”

With this objective approach, the assistant coach “can break down the goals we set for each player by day, week, and month to make sure we agree with our practice. This allows us to benchmark performance so that we know where players are with their performances, capabilities and overall health, and align our performances with our goals and objectives. ”

“To put it simply, Catapult just makes sure we are constantly performing at the highest level possible,” says Shinski. “It really gives us the confidence to do the right thing on and off the pitch and gives us a competitive edge.”

Remote work just got easier

Owls were forced to work remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic and have only recently returned to training. During this time, Shinski and the rest of the training team found Catapult Vision to be of particular benefit as they continued their remote video analysis sessions.

“The telecast tool was fantastic, especially since the players were away from the subject. It is difficult to keep players in remote mode, although the tool allows us to transmit the messages we want, despite the limitations we face. Being able to show them something visually and not just talk to them was really helpful. ”

Commenting on the video analysis solution more generally, the assistant coach says, “Vision is great for player feedback and reflection, you can really tell players about the areas they should be working on in their games.”

“From a strategic perspective, players are getting better and developing their understanding of the game to a level that only a handful of players could have seen a few years ago.”

90,000 who scored first, the brightest performers, video – Rambler / sports

25 years ago Mike Legg’s puck was played on all TV channels in North America.Since then, Crosby, Svechnikov, Granlund and others have scored this way.

Michigan, Granlund’s goal, lacrosse, and more recently Svechnikov’s goal is perhaps one of the most famous and beautiful hockey feints, which turned 25 the day before. We will tell you how his story began and who was especially successful in performing this masterful trick. This goal received an unusual name from the name of the team – the University of Michigan. On March 24, 1996, striker Mike Legg evened the score in one of the season’s biggest games, the winner of which advanced to the NCAA Finals, the Frozen Four.Needless to say, Michigan beat Minnesota and then took the championship title?

From that moment on, it is customary to count the history of the “Michigan” goal – it was recognized as the best puck of the year, and the stick that created the masterpiece is now kept in the Hockey Hall of Fame. But Legg, of course, was not the first to do this trick. Hockey players often try something unusual in training, spy on different movements from their partners. Legg, for example, first saw this move with a certain Bill Armstrong, a player who spent his entire career in the lower leagues.“I practiced this trick in my spare time. I didn’t want the attempt to score in the game like that to fail. At Albany, I scored like that on two-sided, just for fun, and one day our coach said: “You do it so easily, try it in a real match.” So I got permission and tried it. I scored four of these goals, and there was even a story on this topic on local TV. We called this “do it” feint because that was how the fans shouted when I was outside the goal, ”Armstrong recalls. Legg overcame shyness and indecision (he was then still a completely green boy, moreover, 11 years younger than Armstrong), but in the end curiosity overcame.All summer, he honed a movement that would glorify him a year later. Already during the championship, Legg repeatedly asked the judges whether they would count such a goal. Then he asked the coach for permission. The right moment has come already in the playoffs.

“I didn’t see Legg lift the puck onto the stick. When he swung it, I thought that the puck was stuck in the net and he was trying to pick it out from there. Before I had time to blink an eye, a club flies into my face.And that’s it, the puck is in the net. I stand and think: “What’s going on?” The judge arrives, looking extremely puzzled, and asks: “What was that ?!” – recalled Minnesota goalkeeper Steve Debus.

Not only the judge was confused. Minnesota players tried to digest what they saw, on the Michigan bench they could not believe that Legg had dared to do such a daring trick in such an important match. The audience, on the other hand, opened their mouths and froze, not yet realizing that the story of the “Michigan goal” began before their eyes.Before the match was over, the goal was already being played on all TV channels in North America. Everyone began to try to repeat it, or at least dreamed about it. 16-year-old Sidney Crosby scored such a goal in his debut season at QMJHL in 2003 and is not averse to repeating it in the NHL. True, for 16 years at Pittsburgh it has not yet worked, although there have been attempts. “17 years have passed since then, perhaps at some point I will be able to score it again,” he said a year ago, when the NHL blew up the first Michigan goal in history performed by Andrei Svechnikov.

Svechnikov, who at that time was only 19 years old, created his first masterpiece on October 30, 2019. He spied this trick on his older brother, Detroit striker Evgeny Svechnikov, and at Carolina he constantly practiced it in training.

A month later he did it for the second time, a month later Philip Forsberg succeeded in this trick.So far in the NHL there have been no more successful attempts to score in the lacrosse style, but they will certainly be.

Another master of lacrosse goal is 20-year-old Vancouver newcomer Niels Höglander. He has scored this way more than once in the Swedish league, both goals were recognized as the goal of the year in SHL, repeated this trick at MFM-2020 and was already trying to perform it in the NHL. By the way, in Sweden this goal is known as “zorro”, because the movement with the club resembles the flourish of a famous character in a black mask.

Oh, the world championships. In 2011, Finn Mikael Granlund broke the hearts of Russian fans with a lacrosse-style hit in the semi-finals – a moment that even made it to Finnish postage stamps. Russia at that tournament was left without medals, and Finland became the champion. “I think this is not just the best goal of the past championship, but of the whole year, as well as in the history of the world championships,” said young Vladimir Tarasenko.

Among Russians, Sergei Shumakov is already ahead of Svechnikov in the number of Michigan goals. In the KHL, he already has three such goals, the last one has been abandoned at the moment this season. Shumakov is such an inventor and cunning that we will surely see more masterpieces performed by him. But he was far from the first lacrosse sniper in the KHL. Back in the first season of the league, Sergey Luchinkin scored this way, followed by Mix Indrashis and Niklas Danielsson.

But the prodigy Matvey Michkov is still growing up, who at the age of 15 managed to score two (!) Lacrosse goals during the period. He has already won the Youth Olympics as part of the Russian national team, and this year he made his debut in the MHL, became the best sniper in the league and broke Nikita Kucherov’s record for goals under 17. The Michigan goal is alive and well. Players love this trick and try to improve it, multiplying its rich history.

Moscow needs a student lacrosse league – Studentsport.ru

Whether the development of lacrosse in our country is connected with the appointment of Charles Coplin to the position of producer of sports broadcasts of Match TV or not, but the fact remains: in recent years Russia has been overwhelmed by the fashion for American sports. What is lacrosse and how this sport develops in college sports, we will try to figure it out with the help of the Moscow lacrosse team player Artur Wentzel.

Lacrosse – 10×10 team game. Its goal is to throw a small rubber ball into the opponent’s goal using a stick (a special club with a net at the end).A popular sport in the States was brought to Moscow in 2007 by the American David Diamonon, who was able to interest him so much that now 99% of Russian players are in Moscow lacrosse. At the same time in St. Petersburg, St. Petersburg State University student Dmitry Petrov put together a team, which consists mainly of foreigners. The teams of the two cities meet at different venues and determine the strongest in the “Cup of Capitals”, the winner is recognized as the champion of Russia in lacrosse.

“The idea of ​​starting a student team has been around for a long time,” said Arthur Wenzel.- The fact is that in America lacrosse is developed precisely at universities, within the framework of the NCAA league. And it is from there that athletes enter the Major League of Lacrosse (MLL) and the national team. Lacrosse in America is not played on the street, like football in our country, it is considered to be something like an “elite” sport. Here (as well as in the rest of Europe) we are developing the amateur level more. A player with any level of training can come to us, we are waiting for everyone. We created the RUDN Dragons team thanks to the efforts of our children’s lacrosse coach Dmitry Khamin and RUDN enthusiast Dmitry Karev.They were able to rally a team around themselves, tell the guys about the game and ignite their enthusiasm. As a result, a year later we have a large number of students who play on equal terms in the Moscow Lacrosse League – a winter tournament in which 4 mixed teams compete to keep fit and prepare for the season in the spring. Also, the student team in October played at the “Cup of Capitals”, having played in a 3: 3 effective draw with the second line-up of the Moscow lacrosse club, which shows their high level and motivation.By the beginning of the next season, we want to see a team of students capable of fighting on equal terms for victory not in the “Cup of Capitals”, but in a full-fledged championship of Russia. And of course, we are planning to create a student league. We have a number of institutions with which we have established contacts. At the beginning of next year, we want to organize a test match between several institutions. I am sure that this will serve as a huge impetus for the development of student lacrosse! ”
