The 1980 NCAA Division I lacrosse tournament was the 10th annual tournament hosted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to determine the team champion of men's college lacrosse among its Division I programs to end the 1980 NCAA Division I lacrosse season.

Two-time defending champions Johns Hopkins defeated Virginia in the championship game, 9–8 in double-overtime. This was the Blue Jays' third straight and fourth overall NCAA national title.

The championship game was played at Schoellkopf Field at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, with 7,557 fans in attendance.

Overview

Eight NCAA Division I college men's lacrosse teams met after having played their way through a regular season, and for some, a conference tournament.

In the final, Hopkins came back from an 8–6 deficit with nine minutes left to play, when attackman Jeff Harris took a pass from Jim Bidne in front of the Virginia goal and rifled a shot over the left shoulder of the Cavalier's goalie with 0:48 to play in the second overtime to give Hopkins the team's third straight national title. Virginia had defeated the Blue Jays earlier in the year 12–9, ending Hopkins’ then 25 game win streak.

Following the tournament, National lacrosse champ Johns Hopkins dominated the Division I All American squad with eight total selections. Goalie Mike Federico, defenseman Mark Greenberg and midfielder Brendan Schneck repeated as first team choices, while Jeff Cook made the second team attack squad.

Virginia was notable in this tournament for playing overtime games in all three of their contests, including the two overtime game against Hopkins in the finals. Hopkins players Wayne Davis and Ned Radebaugh were both sidelined in that game. Virginia took advantage at the face off with Cavs junior Steve Kraus winning 17 of his 20 faceoffs. The winning goal by Jeff Harris in the second overtime period gave Hopkins the first-ever third straight NCAA title a feat which would not be duplicated for 10 more years.[2][3][4][5]
