Well the first NCAA Champion of the 2010-11 school has been crowned. Friday Maryland advanced to the final with a 3-1 victory over Ohio State, while UNC needed overtime to put away Virginia 4-3….setting up a rematch of last years national championship game between the top two teams in the nation and the winners of the last five national championships.

But where it was UNC who scored with just 11 seconds remaining in the game to defeat Maryland last year 3-2, this year it was Terrapins who got sweet revenge by beating the Tar Heels for the third time this season by the exact same score. Player of the game goes to Megan Frazer who scored with just 2:10 left in the second period of sudden-death overtime to give Maryland the 3-2 victory and the schools fourth championship in the past six seasons and seventh overall.

Needing to score 49.1 on floor exercise in the final rotation to win the national championship, UCLA scored 49.55 to easily win the title with a total score of 197.725. The gymnastics championship was UCLA’s sixth in school history and its first since 2004.

Oklahoma finished in second place with 197.25. Alabama was third with 197.225, followed by Stanford with 197.1, Florida with 197.0 and Utah with 196.225.

But the Championships are not over, today a champion will be crowned in each of the six different individual events. You can watch it live at 6:00 pm ET on here on NCAA.com

Last year Stanford beat Michigan to win the championship, this year Michigan returned the favor in heartbreaking fashion beating Stanford by .7 points. All thanks for Michigan’s 4th Men’s Gymnastics Championship go to Chris Cameron, who took home the individual title.

Cameron won with an all-around score of 90.500 points: posting a 15.6 on the floor, 15.45 on rings, 15.15 on parallel bars, 15.45 on vaulting, 15.05 on pommel horse and a 13.8 on the horizontal bar. The 2009 all-around champ, Steven Legendre from Oklahoma, was a close 2nd finishing with a score of 88.95, just by 1.55 points behind Cameron.

The Northwestern women’s lacrosse team just got it’s 40th win in a row. A win streak that dates back to last year when they went 23-0 on their way to their 5th national title in row. And like the UConn Women’s Basketball Team it looks as though Northwestern is going to pull it off again this year and have back-to-back undefeated seasons.

But the comarasions between the two programs just don’t stop at winning national championships, both are doing it with unprecedented ease. Last years Wildcat team broke NCAA records for points in a season (570), goals scored in a season (407) and most goals in a championship game…and this years squad is on track to best those numbers.

So who’s more dominant: UConn Basketball or Northwestern Lacrosse…the Wildcat Program because its won an amazing 5 titles in a row, something the UConn Basketball program will ever do. Northwestern is so good as a program they actually might have a shot at tying the UNC Women’s Soccer record for most titles in a row with 9. Not!

Did anybody watch the NCAA Bowling Championship yesterday? Well if you didn’t you’re in luck because it is re-airing today at 12:00 on ESPN. And if you like bowling then you should watch because for only the second time in championship history the match between #1 seed Nebraska and Fairleigh Dickinson went to a 7th and final game.

It would be Fairleigh Dickinson that would come from behind to win the title over the defending championship Nebraska team in what should be an ESPN Instant Classic that lasted over 2.5 hours. FDU won the last two games and the 7th and decisive game by a score of 208-174 to win the programs 2nd championship, the last one coming in 2006.

PS – Danielle McEwan from Fairleigh Dickinson’s bowling team is kinda hot.

Boston College easily handled Wisconsin in last nights Frozen Four final 5-0 to win the programs 4th National Championship and the teams 2nd in 3 years. All the credit should go to BC’s defense and goalie John Muse who shutdown the Hobey Baker Award for POY, Wisconsin forward Blake Geoffrion, and a Badger offense that came into the game averaging 4 goals a game, which was tops in the nation. Game deails here.

FUN FACT: A world indoor attendance record was set for hockey with a crowd of 37,592

The NCAA Bowling Championships start tomorrow, are you excited? This sports sucks so much that they don’t even have men’s, only women’s so sadly there will be no legendary showdown between Roy Munson and Big Ern’ McCracken. But since bowling teams get the same trophy as all the other sports we’ll tell you a little about the tournament.

It starts tomorrow and ends Saturday and is going down in the capital of of bowling…the Brunswick Zone Carolier Lanes in where else but North Brunswick, New Jersey. The field consist of seven schools: Arkansas State, Central Missouri, Delaware State, Fairleigh Dickinson, Maryland (Eastern Shore), Nebraska, New Jersey City, and Vanderbilt.
