BOYDS, Md. — Entering the final weekend of Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse, Taylor Cummings was No. 1 on the leaderboard and held a 187-point lead over Caylee Waters.

In a fitting end to the league’s inaugural season, Team Cummings and Team Waters went toe-to-toe in the last game at Maureen Hendricks Field.

In a game in which neither team could take control, Cummings and her teammates were able to come back and win 7-5 — thanks in large part to Sam Apuzzo’s fourth-quarter two-point goal — and secure the points championship for Cummings.

“This is not a medal for me,” Cummings said in the on-field closing ceremonies. “This is a medal for all of us for taking this sport to the next level.”

Becca Block, the first defender taken in each Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse draft this summer, was named the GEICO Defensive Player of the Year.
