After a whirlwind weekend that started on Thursday and finished with a D-I champion crowned on Monday, it's about time to leave Gillette Stadium. Congratulations go out to Syracuse (D-I), C.W. Post (D-II) and Cortland State (D-III) for their 2009 national championships.

Now that the action's over, take a look at some of our favorite pieces from the five days to relive the NCAA's second-largest event this year (some 100,000 fans bought tickets to the games at Gillette this weekend, behind only the Men's D-I Basketball Tournament at Ford Field) now that it's in the books. And for more, just browse around the blog.

Thanks for being with us and we'll see you next year at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. In the meantime, keep up with us on twitter at http://Twitter.com/NCAALax09.

Interview with Tournament Most Outstanding Player Greg Cerar

End of Game
C.W. Post 8, Le Moyne 7


Le Moyne had the ball with 40 seconds left, but a kick-save by C.W. Post goalie Daniel Sciulla -- who had a tremendous fourth quarter -- preserved the game for the Pioneers, as second-seeded Post avenged a 6-5 loss earlier this year with an 8-7 win in the national championship game.

End of 3rd Quarter
C.W. Post 7, Le Moyne 5
The clouds are rolling in, and the rain's started to fall again. Should be a pretty wild fourth quarter.

End of 1st Half
C.W. Post 4, Le Moyne 3

After all that -- after three goals in the opening three minutes and six in the first quarter -- only one followed in the second, with Le Moyne sneaking in a tally. C.W. Post was about .5 of a second away from scoring at the end of the frame, but the horn blew with a shot in the air (a shot that eventually went in). Le Moyne goalie Doug McIver is keeping the Dolphins in the game, making nine saves through two periods, even as Le Moyne's getting heavily out-ground-balled and outshot.

End of 1st Quarter
C.W. Post 4, Le Moyne 2
CW. 12 shots on goal, Le Moyne 7

Before we had a chance to even post that the game had begun, Le Moyne's Brian Welch scored off an assist from Jack Venditti just 12 seconds in to give the Dolphins a 1-0 lead over C.W. Post.

...of course, then C.W. Post came back to score two straight goals. Already, just 3:33 into the game, we've got three goals. This could be a big one.
