Princeton, the No. 1 seed, closed out its season today with one a 16-9 win over No. 2 Notre Dame to win the 2026 NCAA men’s lacrosse championship, the program’s seventh.
By a nice twist of fate, the victory at Virginia’s Scott Stadium came on the same day that the most recent championship team was honored on its 25th anniversary.
After spotting Notre Dame a 3-0 lead in the first 4:49, Princeton went on blistering run of 11 straight goals that turned the early deficit into an 11-3 edge at halftime. Though Notre Dame twice got within five, the Tigers had all the goals they would need by intermission.
