STAR PLAYER  ERIC LUSBY  SCORES FOUR GOALS
IN TITLE GAME, SETS RECORD WITH 17 OVERALL
 
Loyola University Maryland’s Greyhounds men’s lacrosse team won its first-ever national championship Monday, defeating the University of Maryland Terrapins by a lopsided 9-3 score.

The two Maryland teams, from colleges located 40 miles apart, played the NCAA Championship game at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.

The unseeded Terps led 3-2 early in the second period but failed to score in the final 40 minutes of the game as Loyola registered seven consecutive unanswered goals.

Loyola lost in its only previous appearance, in 1990, in an NCAA Championship lacrosse game. The last time two Maryland teams played for the men’s lacrosse title was in 1979 when Johns Hopkins University’s Blue Jays defeated the University of Maryland Terrapins by a score of 15-9.

Eric Lusby, who scored a record-setting 17 goals in this year’s tournament, was named the Championship’s Most Outstanding Player after scoring four goals in the title game in leading his teammates to victory.
