Pioneers Win DII Lacrosse National Championship


For those of you who followed our Lacrosse broadcasts all season, here's a fitting conclusion.

From cwpostpioneers.com

The C.W. Post Pioneers refused to let rain and lightning ruin things as they edged out previously undefeated LeMoyne College, 8-7, to capture the NCAA Division II men’s lacrosse championship title in front of more than 24,000 fans Saturday afternoon at Gillette Stadium.

The Pioneers in their 50th season, conclude the 2009 campaign with a 15-1 overall record – a program best. LeMoyne ends its season at 16-1 overall.

“It’s been a great year for us at C.W. Post,” said C.W. Post head coach John Jez. “We had one hiccup earlier in the year, and today, we overcame that hiccup. The seniors have worked so hard the whole year. Greg Cerar and Dan Sciulla led us the whole way. We’re just really happy. Our university is really happy, and we’re just proud of all our guys.”

The title is the second for C.W. Post as the first came in 1996 with a 15-10 win over cross-town rival Adelphi University.


I'm sure Piccione will have tons to say about this tommorow night on The Edge (8-10pm- wcwpsports.com)
