The championship game was played at Byrd Stadium at the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland, with 24,135 fans in attendance.

Summary

[edit]

Virginia's Conor Gill was named the most outstanding player of the tournament, the first freshman ever to win that honor. Other notable players included Virginia's Jay Jalbert, Syracuse's Ryan Powell, and Delaware's player of the year, John Grant, Jr.

While the Cavaliers built a 9–3 lead by the third quarter, Syracuse still made it close, scoring five unanswered goals to climb back to within 10–9 with 6:30 left. Syracuse became the first number eight seed to make it to the title game.

The All-Tournament Team included Conor Gill, Derek Kenney, Ryan Curtis, Jay Jalbert, Court Weisleder, Tucker Radebaugh, Marshall Abrams, Ryan Powell, Dan Denihan and Georgetown's Scott Urick.
