Griz lacrosse one win away from National Championship

Posted on May 18, 2007 by Colin O'Keefe
After a win today over Westminster College, the University of Montana lacrosse team will play Saturday in the MCLA Division B National Championship Game.

Today's game against Westminster was painfully close as the Griz escaped 19-18 in the semifinal down in Dallas. The Griz went down by a goal in the early stages but they never trailed again after that. They were up by as many as five at various points in the game but going into the fourth quarter it was tied at 15. The Griz never led by more than one in the final period. Down by one, Westminster missed a shot with 19 seconds left and the Griz defense held in the ensuing possession.

Townsend Hall led all scorers with seven goals and Sam Cameron led the assists category with three.

The Griz will play #1 ranked St. John's tomorrow for the championship. Once again, their name is the Johnnies so if we lose I'm going to be a bit disappointed.
