Classic Johns Hopkins, Syracuse game to air

For those who were too young or those who are feeling nostalgic, CBS College Sports is airing a documentary on the 1989 NCAA tournament final between Johns Hopkins and Syracuse this Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

Titled "Legends: The 1989 NCAA Lacrosse Championship," the documentary revisits what is considered in some circles as the greatest lacrosse game ever when a Blue Jays team led by defenseman and current Johns Hopkins head coach Dave Pietramala and goalkeeper and current ESPN analyst Quint Kessenich challenged an Orange squad paced by Gary and Paul Gait.

The two teams, which had combined to capture eight of the previous 11 national titles, participated in a thrilling contest before a then-record crowd of 23,893 at Byrd Stadium at the University of Maryland that wasn't over until the final seconds had elapsed.

CBS College Sports is available on channel 732 on Comcast and channel 152 on Dish.
