Bulldogs Lose Shocker to Gophers; Beat Sonoma State

The UMD Bulldogs will now have to win the UMLL Conference tournament for a chance to play in the MCLA National Championship Tournament in Denver after losing in overtime to conference rival University of Minnesota on April 15, 8-7.  It was a miserable night for lacrosse at Griggs Stadium in Duluth with high winds and frigid temperatures.  UMD dropped another close game, losing by 1 goal in overtime to an improving University of Minnesota team.

On Sunday, the Bulldogs found a little redemption, beating a solid Sonoma State (6-6) team 8-2.  The Bulldogs finish the regular season with a disappointing 5-7 record.

UMD will enter the April 29-May 1 UMLL tournament as the #2 seed.  Their first tournament game will be April 30 at 3:30 p.m. against the winner of the St. Cloud State/MSU-Mankato game.  The UMLL championship game will take place on Sunday May 1 at 4:30 p.m.
