The Duke Blue Devils men's lacrosse team heads to championship weekend looking to continue an unlikely postseason surge when it faces the Princeton Tigers in the NCAA semifinals Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia. Coach John Danowski guided Duke to a dominating win over Georgetown 16-6 in the quarterfinals to reach the national semifinals for the first time since 2023. However, Duke faces the top overall seed, with Princeton entering the tournament after an 11-2 regular season.
Both teams feature explosive offenses, though Princeton holds the statistical edge on both ends of the field. Duke’s balanced attack has relied on depth, with eight players scoring against Georgetown. Princeton counters with senior goalie Ryan Croddick, one of the nation’s leaders in save percentage.
The winner advances to Monday’s national championship game against either the Notre Dame Fighting Irish or Syracuse Orange. 0:23- 3rd Quarter 2026 NCAA Men's Lacrosse Semifinal 1 2 3 4 Total Duke (11-4) 2 2 2 6 No. 1 Princeton (15-2) 3 3 5 11 Duke vs.
