SALISBURY, Md. – The Salisbury University Sea Gulls men’s lacrosse team watched their championship dreams slip away Sunday afternoon in a heartbreaking 12-11 overtime defeat to Rochester Institute of Technology.
The sixth-seeded Sea Gulls were eliminated from NCAA Tournament competition by the eleventh-ranked RIT Tigers during third-round action at Sea Gull Stadium on Sunday.
Despite playing on their home field, the Sea Gulls couldn’t capitalize on the home-field advantage as the game extended into overtime before RIT secured the victory with the decisive goal.
The loss marks the end of another successful season for the Salisbury program, which had advanced to the third round of the national tournament before falling to the visiting Tigers in the extra period.
