SALT LAKE CITY — It was a fun run for BYU's lacrosse team — the defending champs and its rival beg to differ — but the Cougars’ long-shot pursuit of a national championship came to an end Thursday night.
The Cougars played well for two and a half quarters before a disastrous third quarter proved costly in an 12-7 loss to Michigan State in the semifinals of the Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association tournament.
"I think obviously today didn’t turn out the way that we had hoped," BYU coach Matt Schneck said.
