Men’s Lacrosse to Dance Again

The UMBC men’s lacrosse team completed a miraculous comeback and edged Albany, 14-13, to capture the 2008 America East Conference championship. UMBC posted its school Division I record 12th win and has won a school record 11 in a row. They have now reached the NCAA Tournament three straight years for the first time in school history.

“I am so proud of this team and I have been all year long,” Head Coach Don Zimmerman said. “We’ve handled adversity incredibly well and showed what our team is capable of doing.”

The UMBC men’s lacrosse team will open the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championships at second-seeded Virginia on Sunday, May 11 at 5 p.m.  Both teams enter the tournament with identical records of 12-3.
