With a 17-12 win over previously undefeated Tufts, the Salisbury University Seagulls win their fifth national title in the last 12 years.

Salisbury was able to keep Tufts prolific offense in check, especially in the first half. The Seagulls were able to keep the Jumbos off the scoreboard in the first quarter, building a 6-0 lead after the first 15 minutes. While Tufts was able to make the game more interesting late, their early struggles proved to be too much to overcome as their national championship drought now stretches to eight years.

Brice Cromwell led the offensive charge for Salisbury. His scored four times in the game, highlighted by his first half hat-trick.

Salisbury finishes the 2023 campaign with an impressive 22-1 record, and caps it off with the program's 13th national championship in men's lacrosse.

In a closely fought contest, No. 3 Notre Dame squeezed past No. 2 Virginia, 13-12, in overtime to advance to the 2023 DI men's lacrosse national title game against No. 1 Duke.

Brian Devlin scored an impressive goal in overtime to send the Fighting Irish to their first title game since 2014. This will be Notre Dame's third championship game appearance โ€” they lost to Duke in each of the previous two.

Notre Dame scored twice in 31 seconds late in the fourth quarter to tie the game, but with less than one minute remaining in regulation, Virginia's Thomas McConvey capitalized on an opportunity in front of the net to give Virginia a 12-11 lead. Notre Dame countered almost instantly with a goal from Jake Taylor to tie the score again and send the game to overtime locked at 12.

Virginia got a big game from Tewaaraton Award finalist Connor Shellenberger, who made an excellent pass in front of the goal to set up McConvey's late go-ahead goal. His six points (three goals and three assists) led all players. Notre Dame's stars, Pat and Chris Kavanagh, were relatively quiet on the day. The brothers combined for just four points, despite 18 shot attempts between them.

But, the lack of offense from the Kavanagh brothers didn't slow the Irish as Eric Dobson's four goals led the way for the Irish to the championship game.

Notre Dame and Duke will meet for the second time this season. In April, the Fighting Irish downed the Blue Devils 17-12 in South Bend.
