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.

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