Defensive midfielder George Castle proudly holds aloft the 2007 Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship trophy just moments after Johns Hopkins captured its ninth NCAA lacrosse title and second in three years. The Blue Jays held out for a 12-11 victory against Duke in a game that went down to the final ticks of the clock and became an ESPN "Instant Classic."

In honor of their accomplishment, Maryland's two senators, Barbara A. Mikulski and Benjamin L. Cardin, submitted a U.S. Senate resolution to congratulate the team for winning the championship, which took place in front of a crowd of nearly 50,000 people at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on May 28. Desktop wallpaper images of the game can be found on the Baltimore Sun's college lacrosse page.
