Nominees for Best Individual Performance
Taylor Cummings, McDonogh (Md.) (IAAM
Final)
The two-time Lacrosse Magazine national girls' player of
the year scored the game-winner with 9.8 seconds left to
give McDonogh (Md.) a 12-11 defeat of Maryvale Prep (Md.) in the
IAAM Division A championship. The win capped
McDonogh's third consecutive perfect season and extended its
winning streak to 69 straight games.
Vito DeMola, Dowling (NCAA D-II Final)
Vito DeMola would talk to you for hours, and the senior almost did
after a four-goal, two-assist performance in Dowling's
11-10 win over Limestone in the Division II men's championship
game in Foxborough, Mass. It was the school's first
national title. "Everybody wants to believe. That's the easiest
thing. Anybody can say they believe, but it's hard to prove, which
you do by commitment. Following through is being out there doing
it," DeMola said.
Cody Jamieson, Knighthawks (NLL Final)
Jamieson, the top pick in the 2010 National Lacrosse League Entry
Draft, was MVP of the 2012 Champion's Cup with an
eight-point (four goals, four assists) game in the
Rochester Knighthawks' 9-6 win over the Edmonton Rush.
Jeremy Noble, Denver (NCAA First-Round
Game)
Back-and-forth and late into the night, Denver and North Carolina
battled to a 16-14 decision won by the Pioneers. Noble, the
5-foot-8, 165-pound Canadian-native sophomore, scored a Denver single-game record 10
points as the Pioneers threw an array of offensive
looks at the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Michelle Tumolo, Syracuse (NCAA
Quarterfinal)
The Syracuse junior attack almost single-handedly brought the
Orange back from a two-goal deficit with three minutes remaining in
regulation. She scored twice, assisted on another goal and forced a
crucial turnover in a late-game flurry that sparked a miraculous
17-16 comeback win over the Tar Heels at the Carrier Dome. Her
game-winner came with five seconds left. "It was just pure bliss," she
said.
