The Arizona State University Sun Devils had an impressive showing at the MCLA Division I National Championship, advancing all the way to the championship match before falling to top-seeded Michigan.
The Sun Devils started strong in the tournament, defeating Cal Poly 10-5 on May 11 and then defeating Colorado 13-11 on May 13. In the semifinal match on May 14, Arizona State faced Simon Fraser. Simon Fraser had previously defeated the Sun Devils, 14-7, in a game on April 4. There would be no repeat of that loss this time around, as the Sun Devils dominated all game and never trailed in a resounding 19-9 victory to advance to the finals.
The championship game pitted the Sun Devils against Michigan. Again, the Sun Devils looked to avenge a past defeat as Michigan defeated Arizona State 11-10 in Tempe on March 3. The teams battled back and forth throughout the first half as the lead shifted between the teams. Michigan would try to pull away in the second half but Arizona State would continually keep the game close. However, the Sun Devils would fall just short as they lost, 12-11.
Thank you for your support for the team all season long and throughout the playoffs, Sun Devil fans!
