PREVIEW
2. Cinderella vs. the Defending NCAA Champion

by Dan Arestia and Kyle Devitte, USA Lacrosse Magazine

“Dickinson will be the sweetheart of the tournament, having run through some of the best teams in the nation to punch a ticket to Foxborough. The Red Devils’ last loss was April 9 to Gettysburg. Since then, they’ve beaten Swarthmore, Gettysburg, Denison, Salisbury, RPI and RIT. They are firmly in “playing with house money” territory, and it comes across in their play. They’re loose, they’re carefree and they’re confident.

The only thing more dangerous than that is an undefeated NESCAC team (Tufts) on a mission. Oh, and they’re also the defending national champions. And they’re basically playing at home.”

» Of Note. “Nobody would have faulted Dickinson for falling to RIT in the semifinals. After all, in the regular season, RIT won this matchup 24-7. They led 20-4 after three quarters. The thing is, nobody told Dickinson it should just be happy to be there.”

» Worth Noting. “The other semifinal was a NESCAC showdown between top-seeded Tufts and Bowdoin. The regular-season matchup produced a 15-14 overtime classic, with the Jumbos walking away with the win. The rematch started in a similar fashion. And then all hell broke loose.”
