This is it.
The NCAA men’s lacrosse season comes to a conclusion this Monday on Memorial Day. Months of hard work have led to this moment, and one of the two teams left standing will leave East Hartford, Connecticut with a national championship.
In a rematch of the 1971 and 1976 title games, No. 1-seed Maryland and No. 7-seed Cornell will square off with the sport’s ultimate prize hanging in the balance.
With a win, Maryland would become the first team to complete an undefeated season since Virginia did so in 2006 and would be the first squad to ever finish a season 18-0.
