1992 NCAA Division I men's lacrosse tournament explained
The 1992 NCAA Division I lacrosse tournament was the 22nd annual tournament hosted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to determine the team champion of men's college lacrosse among its Division I programs, held at the end of the 1992 NCAA Division I men's lacrosse season.
Princeton completed a 13-2 season by defeating Syracuse in the championship game in two overtime, 10-9.[1] The win marked the first NCAA tournament title for Princeton and seventh overall college lacrosse national championship.
The championship game was played at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with 13,150 fans in attendance.
Overview
The Tigers upset top-ranked Syracuse who were playing in their fourth Division I final in the prior five years. Syracuse, which had come back from a six goal deficit, lost on Andy Moe's fourth goal of the game nine seconds into the second sudden-death overtime. Princeton's Greg Waller won the overtime faceoff, with Moe retrieving the ground ball and sprinting down the right side for the winning goal. A misplayed clear by Princeton's goalie allowed Tom Marechek to score a virtually empty net goal with 42 seconds left in regulation to tie it.
Only five years before this championship, Princeton had just two wins with thirteen losses.
