[NCAA DIVISION II MEN] No. 1 seed Fort Lewis crushed LeMoyne, 8-2 and moved into Saturday's final of the NCAA Division II men's championship at the University of Tampa against Lees-McRae, which beat Lewis on penalty kicks after rallying from 2-0 down in the last five minutes of regulation to earn a 2-2 tie.

The Skyhawks broke open their game against LeMoyne with six unanswered goals in the second half to break open a game that was 2-1 in their favor at halftime.

Goalie Sean Paradise was the hero for Lees-McRae, stopping Lewis freshman Robert McGowan's penalty kick in the second half and again in the shootout.

Nestor Hernandez scored two goals in less than a minute to put Lewis ahead 2-0, but the Bobcats answered with goals from Grant Elder and Lee Squires in the final five minutes.
