- After three frustrating seasons of losses in the final four, Duke finally brought home the NCAA championship, topping Notre Dame 6-5 in overtime. IL was there to capture the entire ride from the first round dismantling of Johns Hopkins to the down-to-the-wire performances in the final four. We also break down Notre Dame’s Cinderella run through the tournament and what they did both offensively and defensively to advance to the finals. The July issue also looks back on past NCAA Tournaments to see if this was the best since the tournament expanded to 16 teams in 2003 and recaps Tufts’ and C.W. Post’s championship wins as well as Maryland’s come-from-behind victory over Northwestern in the women’s final.
For the first time since the early 1990s, there is a new champion in men's Division I lacrosse, as Duke takes home its first title after several close calls in recent seasons. IL staff covers all the angles from the Blue Devils' run, as well as Maryland's women, C.W. Post at DII and Tufts' first-ever DIII championship.
