RIT Lacrosse ready for title game

It's a first for the RIT Men's Lacrosse Team. They will play for the NCAA Division III National Championship this weekend.

A well-executed play in overtime pushed the RIT Tigers to a place they have never been on, the cusp of a national title.

RIT defeated top-seeded Cortland on Sunday when Allister Warren scored off the hidden ball trick with an assist from Taylor Wisman with 1:55 to play in overtime. The semifinal win is RIT's first in six national semifinal games and extends their winning streak to 13 straight.

The Tigers head to Philadelphia Thursday to face No. 4 Stevenson. Fourth year head coach Jake Coon says making it to the finals elevates the program and the school to a new level.

Take some time to donate blood. News10NBC’s annual blood drive with the American Red Cross is at the Double Tree Inn on Jefferson Road from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, June 27.

Blood donation facts from the American Red Cross Blood Services:

- The summer season historically sees a decline in blood donations due to many blood donors vacationing and fewer blood drives being sponsored by schools.

- The need for blood is constant. It’s the blood that is already on the shelves that helps save lives before, during and after a disaster.

- Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood.

- Approximately 44,000 units of blood are needed each day across the United States.

- Local blood donors are needed all year round to ensure the blood supply stays strong.

- A single car accident victim can require as many as 100 pints of blood.

- Only 5 percent of the eligible population donates blood.
