Posted by Bill San Antonio

I wanted to keep a running diary of the 2009 lacrosse National Championship game, because I did watch the game, but I got a bit sidetracked with some of the other major news of the day (see posts below.)

Cody Jamieson, who tallied just nine goals on the year for the Orange, scored his second goal of the day just 80 seconds into the overtime period to give Syracuse back-to-back National Championships and ten in the program’s history.
