Loyola Tops Maryland 9-3 to Win NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship
Eric Lusby scored four goals as Loyola University Maryland beat the University of Maryland 9-3 to win the National Collegiate Athletic Association men’s lacrosse championship.
Lusby’s final tally was his 17th of the tournament, an NCAA record, and sophomore goalie Jack Runkel made six saves as the top-seeded Greyhounds won the game at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
After trailing 3-2, Loyola scored seven unanswered goals and held Maryland scoreless for the final 40 minutes, giving the Greyhounds their first title at college lacrosse’s top level. The team was runner-up in 1990, its only previous appearance in the championship game.
