Colorado College\u2019s first-ever victory in the NCAA Division III Men\u2019s Lacrosse Championship was\u2028certainly worth the wait.<\/p>\n
Eric Neumeyer \u201916<\/strong> scored 28 seconds into overtime to give the Tigers an 11-10 victory over Whittier College in the program\u2019s first-ever postseason game played at Washburn Field. Neumeyer took a skip pass from midfielder Tyler Borko \u201919<\/strong>, spun around a defender, and beat the Poets\u2019 goaltender with a high shot inside the far right post. Borko tied the game with 1:28 remaining in the fourth quarter with a rocket from the high slot after taking a feed from Austin Davie \u201917<\/strong>.<\/p>\n CC trailed 8-2 at halftime, but after a 40-minute break that included a lightning delay, the Tigers seized the momentum by scoring twice in a span of 32 seconds early in the third quarter. Goaltender Chase Murphy \u201916<\/strong> made six of his 11 saves during the fourth quarter, which provided CC a chance to continue its comeback.<\/p>\n Three days later, the Tigers dropped a 15-6 decision at eventual national champion Salisbury University and finished their season with a 12-5 record. Included in their ledger was a 13-9 victory over Whittier on April 30, which gave CC nine consecutive victories over the Poets and possession of the Locker-Stabler Cup for the sixth year in a row.<\/p>\n Murphy and Davie were named honorable-mention All-Americans by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association. Murphy became Colorado College\u2019s first three-time recipient, while Davie was honored for the first time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Colorado College\u2019s first-ever victory in the NCAA Division III Men\u2019s Lacrosse Championship was\u2028certainly worth the wait.
