OF MADNESS May 11


Bryant stuns Syracuse in the fi rst round at the Carrier Dome. Bulldogs goalie Gunnar Waldt stands tall with a save on normally lights- out Dylan Donahue in the fi nal seconds.


Abbey Friend sets North Carolina’s career goals record, passing Corey Donohoe’s 192 set from 2008-11, in a second-round win over Georgetown.


Johns Hopkins’ Brandon Benn intercepts a clearing pass and scores from 35 yards out on empty goal Benn’s goal ignites an 8-0 run of an eventual 14-8 fi rst-round victory. Both traditional powers missed the NCAA tournament in 2013.


Fresh off its fi rst-ever NCAA tournament win, Boston College continues its historic season with a second-round 8-3 win over Loyola.


MAY 17 Game of the year. Notre Dame rallies from four goals down


in the fi nal two minutes and beats Albany in overtime of an NCAA quarterfi nal in front of a sellout crowd at Hofstra. Matt Kavanagh’s hustle and heroics end the historic season of the Thompsons.


Third time’s the charm. Northwestern tops Florida in its fi rst


quarterfi nal on the road since 2004, earning its 10th consecutive fi nal four appearance.


MAY 22 Sixth-seeded Virginia plays kickball to end


the fi rst practice of championship weekend. After many people being surprised with their seeding, the Cavaliers make it to the NCAA women’s fi nal four.


May 24 For the fourth straight year,


Cortland comes excruciatingly close but loses in the Division III women’s semifi nals. Trinity eliminated the Red Dragons for the third straight year with an 8-7 victory. In four years the Red Dragons have lost in this round by a combined seven goals.


May 25 Record attendance. 10,311 fans see Maryland defeat Syracuse for the


NCAA Division I women’s championship at Towson. The previous record (9,782) came in the 2010 fi nal (Maryland vs. Northwestern), also at Towson. The two- day championship attendance is 18,567, a new record for the weekend.


Limestone wins its fi rst NCAA Division II men’s championship since 2002. Division II is the only division to have four different champions over the past four seasons. The last repeat champion was LIU Post in 2009-10.


En route to the Division III men’s championship, Tufts sets the single-season goals record for any division, fi nishing with 423 — breaking the record of 417 held by the 2007 Salisbury team. The Jumbos also set the single-year tournament record for team assists with 45. And for all the notoriety the Thompson trio at Albany received, Tufts’ (non-related) triplets actually outpaced them. John Uppgren (124 points), Cole Bailey (118) and Beau Wood (102) are the fi rst known threesome to all crack the century mark in one season.


May 26 Duke wins its second straight NCAA


men’s championship on Memorial Day with Army Ranger vet Casey Carroll as a 29-year-old starting defenseman.


A Publication of US Lacrosse MAY 29


Miles and Lyle Thompson cap an amazing season by becoming the fi rst Native Americans to win the Tewaaraton, the fi rst shared trophy in the award’s 14-year history. Maryland’s Taylor Cummings becomes the fi rst sophomore to win the Tewaaraton.


July 2014 >> LACROSSE MAGAZINE 41 MAY 14


WAC is back. Washington College upsets Stevenson to advance to its fi rst fi nal four since 2004 and set up a War on the Shore rematch with Salisbury — but not without choice words between coaches Jeff Shirk and Paul Cantabene before and after this matchup.


The empire strikes again. For the second straight year, the only undefeated team in the South bracket plays Salisbury in the Division III quarterfi nals — and for the second straight year, there were no more undefeated teams. In 2013, it was Dickinson that was upended; this time it’s Denison.


May 18


For the second time in as many years, Adelphi loses at home in the semifi nals as the top seed in the Division II men’s tournament. The Panthers, who own the most titles in Division II with seven, haven’t hoisted the trophy since 2001.
