[edit] Champions
The first intercollegiate lacrosse tournament, however, was held in 1881 with Harvard beating Princeton, 3-0 in the championship game. From this point through 1934, collegiate lacrosse associations chose an annual champion based on regular season records. The U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) was reorganized in 1929, and from 1934 through 1970 chose the Wingate Memorial Trophy champion.
In 1971, the NCAA began sponsoring Men's Lacrosse and began holding an annual Championship tournament.
