Cornell men's lacrosse team secured their first title since 1977 by defeating Maryland. Other sports highlights include the Orioles' roster changes, Djokovic's reflections on the Big Four, and Swiatek's French Open record bid.

Cornell, the nation's top-ranked team, fended off the Penn State Nittany Lions' comeback in the semifinals of the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Tournament.

Top-seeded Cornell will attempt to win its first title since 1977 when it faces Maryland in Monday afternoon's championship game.

We stand on the shoulders of giants,” Buczek said. “We're upholding a very long and proud tradition, and we're just trying to make sure it's the best version of it that it can possibly be.”
