In the nick of time
Championship games with dramatic conclusions:
- Bloomsburg's Kelly Trevisan connects in overtime to secure the Huskies' third straight Division II Field Hockey Championship.
- Three soccer teams win titles on penalty kicks, the sport's version of a tiebreaker. Both Division I title matches are decided that way, with Indiana's men and Notre Dame's women as the beneficiaries. Wheaton (Illinois) does the same in the Division III men's championship.
The Division II Women's Soccer Championship also goes to the wire as Metropolitan State's Kylee Hanavan scores the game-winner with 39 seconds left in regulation.
- Natalie Darwitz finds the net with just over a minute left to give Minnesota the Women's Frozen Four crown.
- The last of New York Institute of Technology senior Joe Gabrysiak's goals gives the Bears an overtime win in the Division II Men's Lacrosse Championship game.
- Salisbury's Sea Gulls swoop in with just six seconds left and steal the Division III Men's Lacrosse Championship game. Junior attacker Chris Phillips scores the game-winning gull, er, goal.
- Michigan softball first baseman Samantha Findlay hits a shot heard east of the Mississippi when her 10th-inning homer makes the Wolverines the first champion from that part of the country in the sport.
