Syracuse and Schools with the Most NCAA Lacrosse Championships
Posted by Vin Getz
In 2015, Denver emerged from lacrosse obsolescence to became the first school west of the Mississippi – heck, west of Durham, North Carolina – to win the NCAA Division I National Championship.
The Pioneers join 10 other teams with a lacrosse title, eight of whom have won more than once.
At the top is Syracuse with 10 crowns. The Orange won 11 actually, but their 1990 title over Loyola was vacated for “rules violations.”
The Johns Hopkins Blue Jays (did you know that school nickname?) have the second most championships with nine, but have two more appearances in the title game than ‘Cuse.
Who’s the all-time team, then? Very debatable.
Princeton, in third, has six lacrosse titles to its credit – all lead by coach Bill Tierney – who, by the way, now coaches Denver.
Aha.

Duke and Schools with the Most NCAA Tournament Championship Game Losses
Posted by Vin Getz
Duke, of course, is one of the greatest schools in NCAA Tournament history, especially through the modern era. When you’re so good, you put yourself in position for big wins – but sometimes, also, for big losses.
The Blue Devils have lost the most NCAA Championship Games, for example. They and the Kansas Jayhawks have lost the final game six times.
Duke has lost to six different schools, and if Wisconsin does to it what it did to Kentucky a couple of days ago, the Badgers will become the seventh (and give Duke sole possession of the record).
Michigan rounds out the top three with five losses of its own.
At least Duke and Kansas have won four and three titles apiece. Michigan is 1-5 all time in the Finals. You can see every school’s NCAA Championship Game W-L record here, in a previous Sports List of the Day post.
