Quick Facts 2018 NCAA Division I men's lacrosse tournament, Teams ...

Seventeen teams competed in the tournament, based upon their performance during the regular season. For nine teams, entry into the tournament was by means of a conference tournament automatic qualifier and/or play in, while for eight teams at-large selection was determined by the NCAA selection committee.

Yale controlled the tournament finals from start to finish, though Duke kept the game suspenseful to the end. This was Yale’s first NCAA lacrosse title and second title overall. Yale's Ben Reeves tied Eamon McEneaney’s 1977 record for most points in an NCAA tournament with 25 points. McEneaney set the record in three tournament games. This was the sixth national championship game for Duke since 2005.
