Penn State fell to Duke at the NCAA Championships on a play that wasn't reviewable. It will be next season.
Nearly two months after Penn State's controversial loss to Duke in the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championships, the NCAA is expanding the use of video review in the game. The NCAA announced Wednesday that the play on which Penn State lost its NCAA semifinal game will be among those reviewable for the 2024 men's lacrosse season.
In late May, Penn State lost to Duke 16-15 when the Blue Devils' Garrett Leadmon stepped into the crease while scoring the sudden-victory goal. The play should not have counted but was not reviewable according to the NCAA's replay rules at the time. Penn State concluded its season at 11-5, having reached the NCAA semifinals for the second time in school history. After the game, Penn State coach Jeff Tambroni said, "There should definitely be a review."
In response, the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel adopted a sweeping series of changes to its policy regarding video review. It added five reviewable plays to the existing list. Among them, replay can be used to determine "if an offensive player was in or landed in the crease before the ball entered the goal.to determine." This addition covers the scenario that occurred at the end of the Penn State-Duke game.
