1984 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship

The 1984 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Tournament was the 14th annual Division I NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship tournament. Twelve NCAA Division I college men's lacrosse teams met after having played their way through a regular season, and for some, a conference tournament.

The championship game was hosted by University of Delaware, and was played in front of 17,253 fans. The game saw the Johns Hopkins University defeat Syracuse University by the score of 13–10.[1]

The Bluejays snapped Syracuse's 22-game winning streak, holding the Orange top offensive guns, Brad Kotz and Tim Nelson, in check. [2] Hopkins was led by hall-of-fame goalie Larry Quinn, attackman Brian Wood with three goals, and senior attackman Peter Scott with two goals and three assists. [3] Scott, considered one of the best lacrosse players to come out of the Pennsylvania high school system, finished his career with four straight NCAA final appearances, made three All-American teams and is currently among the top 20 John Hopkins Career Points leaders.
