Two blinks later, and the momentum had swung entirely in the other direction.
Thomas McConvey tied the game with 13.7 seconds left in the half, then Vermont’s Tommy Burke won the ensuing faceoff and ripped home a goal 5.3 seconds later to put the Catamounts up by a goal.
Vermont tacked on four more goals in a row to start the third quarter, and UAlbany never fully recovered as the Catamounts pulled away for a 15-10 win on the UMBC campus in Catonsville, Maryland, to earn the program’s first-ever America East title and NCAA tournament berth.

ALBANY The UAlbany men’s lacrosse team has “a left-handed JD” among its goalie ranks this season.
That could bode very well for the team, if Liam Donnelly can duplicate some of the stellar play of former Great Dane JD Colarusso, a USILA and Inside Lacrosse All-American first-team selection in 2018.
The “left-handed JD” designation was bestowed upon Donnelly by Colarusso’s father, Joe, who coached Donnelly at the club level in Yorktown. So although Donnelly began his college career at Rutgers and spent the last two seasons at Utah, UAlbany head coach (and Yorktown native) Scott Marr is familiar with his game and expects him to be prominent in the goaltending mix this season.
