BALTIMORE (AP) -- Every kid with a lacrosse stick envisions scoring the goal that wins the national championship.

C.J. Costabile thought about it when he was growing up, never believing the opportunity would come. And then it did.

Costabile scored with five seconds gone in sudden-death overtime Monday, giving Duke its first NCAA men's lacrosse title with a 6-5 win over Notre Dame.

Asked if he once dreamed of pulling off such a feat, Costabile said, "Everyone kind of thinks about that. It's kind of cool. It's fairy tale stuff. You don't think it's going to happen."

And then, after a slight pause, he added, "I guess it kind of happened."
