It was the timeout that made time stand still.


Adelphi men’s lacrosse captured its second straight D2 national championship in a 9-8 overtime thriller that only happened after the University of Tampa called a timeout with 12 seconds left


— nullifying what would have been the Florida team’s game-winner.


“Everyone’s hearts just dropped,” junior midfielder Kyle Lewis, who scored the golden goal — his first in OT — told The Post. “Right after the timeout, we got our emotions back and knew we


had a game to play.”

Head coach Gordon Purdie drew up a special play to get Lewis the ball with 2:41 left in OT because he is “maybe the hardest working player on my team,” who earned the immaculate opportunity.


“If you look back at the video, I had to see if everything that was going on was real. It felt like just a dream,” Lewis, of Franklin Square, said also praising the four-goal performance by


fellow junior middie Vincent McDermott.

“Going into next year, we’re not going to look back at what we did this year,” Lewis added. “When September starts, so does the goal to win another national championship.”

“It’s been 20 years since the last title for baseball,” senior shortstop Patrick McCarthy, who will play at Manhattanville next year, told The Post.


“It’s going to continue this way. We have a lot of young guys that are brought into the program.”


Senior softball pitcher Marissa Nosovitch, who will throw for Kutztown University, said that winning counties brought her already close squad closer than ever before.


“We’ve been playing together since kindergarten,” she said. “This would mean the world to all of us.”
