Purple reign: Lacrosse wins second-straight national title

The men’s lacrosse team may need extra time in baggage check, because it’s returning from the national tournament in Denver with some championship hardware.

The Tommies successfully defended its national championship Saturday by defeating Utah Valley University 12-9.

“Unbelievable. It hasn’t really sank in yet,” junior Joe McCullagh said.

The men’s lacrosse team beat Davenport University Friday afternoon 17-9 to advance to the Division III national championship in Denver.

“It’s undescribable,” junior Joe McCullagh said. “Everyone was going crazy in the locker room.”

Junior Joey Costello led the Tommie offensive attack with four goals, and junior Cooper Mazon and sophomore Tony Sadder each had four goals to contribute to the Tommie scoring buffet.
