Overview
Twelve NCAA Division I college men's lacrosse teams met after having played their way through a regular season, and for some a conference tournament.
This was the second straight national title for Syracuse behind the Gait brothers, Paul and Gary, and John Zulberti. In addition to the Gaits, a number of stars played in this final, including Dave Pietramala, Quint Kessenich, Tom Marechek.
A wild, back and forth, athletic affair, the game was not decided until one final desperation shot by John Dressel with two seconds left. Matt Palumb made the stop and finished the game with 13 saves. Paul Gait had 4 goals and 2 assists for Syracuse. Johns Hopkins got the ball back for a final possession on a tremendous over the head check on Gary Gait by Dave Pietramala, followed by a mad scramble with Hopkins securing the ball with 12 seconds remaining.
