Qualifying 2010 NCAA Division I men's lacrosse season Sixteen teams were selected to compete in the tournament based upon their performance during the regular season, and for some, a conference tournament. The championship teams of six conferences were granted automatic tournament berths. Five of those were based upon the results of conference tournaments. The Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) did not hold a conference tournament and granted its automatic qualifier to regular season champions Denver. Conference tournament champions that automatically qualified were: Army of the Patriot League, Delaware of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), Mount Saint Mary's of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC), Princeton of the Ivy League, and Stony Brook of the America East Conference.Warrior May Madness: NCAA Division I Bracket is here https://web.archive.org/web/20100511201139/http://insidelacrosse.com/news/2010/05/09/warrior-may-madness-ncaa-division-i-bracket-here 2010-05-11 , Inside Lacrosse, May 9, 2010. The selection committee granted the other ten tournament teams at-large berths. All four Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) teams received at-large bids for the fourth straight year: Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and Duke. Two berths were filled by the Big East Conference: Syracuse and Notre Dame. Ivy League runners-up Cornell, independent Johns Hopkins, Loyola of the ECAC, and Hofstra of the CAA were also selected. Notable teams considered to be "on the bubble" for selection, but not chosen, included Georgetown and Villanova of the Big East, Yale and Brown of the Ivy League, Drexel and UMass of the CAA. The selection of some at-large teams such as Notre Dame and Johns Hopkins instead of Georgetown, which missed the tournament for the third straight season, was considered a questionable snub by some analysts.Mark Dixon, Mark Dixon's Truth or Fiction: Tournament Selection Edition https://web.archive.org/web/20100512164852/http://insidelacrosse.com/news/2010/05/11/mark-dixons-truth-or-fiction-tournament-selection-edition 2010-05-12 , Inside Lacrosse, May 11, 2010.Geoff Shannon, Snubs and Surprises from Men's DI NCAA Tournament Field https://web.archive.org/web/20100512164747/http://insidelacrosse.com/news/2010/05/09/snubs-and-surprises-mens-di-ncaa-tournament-field 2010-05-12 , Inside Lacrosse, May 9, 2010.Trish Lamonte, Big East Lacrosse: Syracuse ranked No. 2 in final poll; NCAA tournament committee snubs Georgetown, The Post-Standard, May 10, 2010.

Semifinals Notre Dame vs. Cornell Notre Dame 3 3 2 4 Cornell 1 2 2 2 In the first semifinal, Notre Dame once again used its stifling defense led by goalie Scott Rodgers to beat a third straight seeded opponent in No. 7 Cornell. The Irish led 6–3 at half time but two straight goals in the third quarter pulled Cornell to within two at 7–5. It was as close as the Big Red would get, however, as the Irish finished with a flurry to win 12–7. The win marked the first time that an unseeded team had reached the championship game since UMass in 2006. It also marked the first time in school history that Notre Dame advanced to the title game.

After leading 7–5 at halftime, Virginia scored first in the second half to take an 8–5 lead, but Duke responded with a seven-goal blitz that made it 12–8 in favor of the Blue Devils early in the fourth quarter. Virginia would not go quietly, however, as the Cavaliers tied the game at 13 with just over a minute to play. With just 12 seconds left, Duke scored with the familiar combination of Ned Crotty to Max Quinzani to send Duke to its third championship game in six years.Notre Dame to face Duke in final, ESPN, May 30, 2010.

The game proved to be one of the closest championship contests ever, albeit the lowest scoring one as well. Neither team ever led by more than a single goal throughout the contest. After trailing 3–2 at halftime, Notre Dame took its first lead since the first minute of the game early in the fourth quarter. Duke tied the game a few minutes later, though, and had a chance to win in the final seconds of regulation, but stellar defense by Notre Dame and timely saves by tournament MVP Scott Rodgers sent the game to overtime. The slow pace of regulation did not continue into overtime, as Duke Sophomore CJ Costabile, a long stick midfielder, won the opening faceoff cleanly and sprinted straight downfield to score just 5 seconds into the extra period. The goal set the record for the fastest to end an overtime in NCAA championship history, and gave Duke its first national title in school history.Duke edges Irish for first lacrosse title, ESPN, May 31, 2010.
