AMHERST, Mass. — Amherst College has been named the Division 3 Champion as the New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (NEILA) announces the final polls of the 2019 season. The Mammoths are headed to Philadelphia for the NCAA D3 National Championship game after defeating former #1 team in New England Tufts University and arch-rival Williams College this week. The Mammoths received all six first place votes and join already crowned regional champs Yale (D1) and Merrimack (D2).

Le Moyne SYRACUSE, N. Y. – Trailing by a goal with less than 30 seconds to play, the No. 7 Merrimack College men’s lacrosse program turned to a pair of brothers – junior Dom Thomas and sophomore Christian Thomas – to extend the season. Then, after the biggest faceoff win of sophomore Davis Cronin’s career, younger brother sent the Warriors to Philadelphia with the game-winner just 29 seconds into the extra session, as Merrimack closed its incredible rivalry with Le Moyne College in the most dramatic way possible – a 15-14 overtime victory in the semifinal round of the 2019 NCAA Division II Men’s Lacrosse Championship – to punch its third consecutive trip to the national title game. Shortly after, it was Bertrand tickling the twine on another man-up opportunity to give the visitors their first lead since late in the first quarter, and made it four straight tallies for the Warriors – again while a man up – to give the visitors their first multi-goal lead (13-11) since early in regulation. It looked as though Le Moyne would steal the win after potting the go-ahead goal with under 30 seconds left, but the Warriors had one last chance after Cronin won the final faceoff of the fourth.
