Jon Barocas and his team, Go Fast, were able to outlast Team Lax Grip for a one goal victory. It was the first one goal championship game since Lax World won over Under Armor 13-12 in 2000. It was a truly exciting lacrosse game in which Go Fast led almost the entire way. Michael Donegar, tournament all-star and Offensive MVP, scored four goals to help Go Fast win. Donegar was impressive, especially in the 4th quarter when he took over the game. Two of Donegar's goals came back-to-back in the beginning of the last period to give Go Fast enough of a lead to win their first championship. Donegar was Go Fast's go-to weapon in the 2nd half. He did a great job of leading the offense, and creating opportunities for himself against a staunch Lax Grip defense.

This championship tied for the all time lowest scoring game in Vail shootout history and was a credit to both goalies, both of whom put on memorable performances. Go Fast's Doc Schneider and Lax Grip's Chris Sanderson each made several outstanding saves in the final game. Sanderson tallied seventeen saves in the game while Schneider ended the game with eight saves. Even though Schneider has less than half the saves of his counterpart he made several one-on-one saves that were crucial to his team's victory.

The tournament dark horse Lax Grip battled hard the entire game but Go Fast's depth was too tough to over come. For Lax Grip, Andrew Wasik also had a notable performance. The attackmen from Pace University scored four of his team's six goals and earned a place on the All-Tournament Team.

Like all games in the Vail Shootout, this one was played with a thirty second shot clock. This game was what the rule makers had in mind when they decided to institute the shot clock at the tournament. With incredibly quick pace the end to end action seemed to never stop as the first half was played in a speedy thirty-three minutes. While this game was a defensive struggle almost the entire way it will now take its place as one of the most thrilling games in tournament history.
