The Temple Owls won their first championship after defeating the Maryland Terrapins in the final, 6–4.

The leading scorer for the tournament, for the second straight year, was Karen Emas, from Delaware, with 20 goals. Marie Schmucker, from Temple, was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament.

Qualification

Until 1985, there was only one NCAA championship; a Division III title was added in 1985 and a Division II title in 2001. Hence, all NCAA women's lacrosse programs were eligible for this championship. This tournament, in turn, was contested by 12 teams.
