“We are who we are, and we do what we do,” said Le Moyne coach Dan Sheehan, on a virtual news conference held Sunday afternoon inside Rentschler Field.
Who they are: A tough, balanced team built on defense that s opportunistic on offense.
What they do: Win championships.
Le Moyne won its sixth title, stifling newcomer Lenoir-Rhyne, 12-6. The Dolphins held the high-scoring Bears to one goal in the second half, while DII Player of the Year Matt Hutchings scored six goals on eight shots, earning NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player honors.
A 7-0 run starting in the third quarter turned a close game into a runaway, as the Dolphins capped a 15-0 season.

Lenoir-Rhyne’s dream season will continue into the NCAA Division II Men’s national championship game the Bears’ first appearance in the final in program history.
Before Lenoir-Rhyne could book its ticket to Hartford, it had to get past South Atlantic Conference rival Wingate for a second time this season. Thanks to six goals and an assist from star attackman Eric Dickinson, the Bears pulled away for a comfortable 18-10 win over the Bulldogs in the NCAA semifinals.
Four different scorers helped Lenoir-Rhyne, playing at home in front of a raucous crowd, jump out to a 4-1 lead at the end of the first quarter. Dickinson had two goals in the second quarter, a back-and-forth period that saw the Bears emerge with an 8-4 halftime lead.
