Midfielder Patrick W. Matheson (’13) powers forward in the 2011 Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA) National Championship, where BYU defeated Arizona State 10–8. The win makes four MCLA titles for the Cougars, who claimed the first-ever MCLA championship in 1997, then won it again in 2000 and 2007. The 2011 crown ties BYU for the most championships in MCLA history—and it puts a target on BYU’s back, says tournament MVP Daniel D. Cole (’11). “We know that whoever comes to play BYU is going to play their hearts out, and we like that.”
