April 29, 2001 • Davis, CA - Playing in its third consecutive WCLL final, the Sonoma State lacrosse team beat UC Santa Barbara 10-7 to win the Western Collegiate Lacrosse League Championship on Sunday. In an up then down game, the Cossacks were leading 7-0 at half time but only led by three goals at the end of the third quarter as a scrappy Santa Barbara team turned up the heat on the Sonoma defense, scoring five goals to SSU's one in the process. UCSB fought for every ground ball and took advantage of several power play opportunities to get within striking distance, but seven goals was too much to overcome. The Cossacks settled down in the fourth quarter to seal the victory as both teams scored a pair each. Sonoma's goalie and Tournament MVP, Dominic Gomez, made 16 saves and Brett Flynn scored four goals in the winning effort. It is Sonoma's first WCLL title.
