The top-seeded Duke Blue Devils will play for their fourth men's lacrosse national championship on Monday.
PHILADELPHIA – Duke and Notre Dame will square off for the NCAA men’s lacrosse championship on Monday. But it will be difficult for that all-ACC final to surpass the high drama of Saturday’s semifinal contests – both of which required overtime – witnessed by 32,107 fans at Lincoln Financial Field.
The top-seeded Blue Devils will play for the program’s fourth national championship on Monday. The overtime game-winner denied No. 5 seed Penn State its first appearance in the title game. After a back-and-forth first quarter, Duke used a four-goal run to build a 7-4 lead. The margin never grew larger, however, as the Nittany Lions were also able to execute their offense.
Tewaaraton Award finalist Brennan O’Neill’s first-half hat trick helped stake Duke to the early lead, but he was held in check in the second half. The Blue Devils’ scoring depth was on display, however, as five other players including Leadmon notched at least two goals. Malone paced the Nittany Lions’ attack with a game-high eight points on six goals and two assists, while Winkoff recorded five helpers in addition to his lone goal.
