In a back and forth affair, UNC gets a sudden victory goal from Chris Cloutier to win the national title in lacrosse 14-13 over Maryland.
The Tar Heels were the early aggressor and kept what had been a red hot offense rolling scoring on the first four possessions to grab a 4-0 edge before Maryland even attempted a shot. A critical misplay by UNC goalie Brian Balkam led to a Maryland interception and quick goal to make it 4-1. That score open the floodgates for the Terps which added three more goals to tie the game at 4-4.
