Ten-day forecast calling for mostly cloudy skies in the mid-80s with variable winds at this point. Doesn't sound like that serious of a weather game--especially if the sun is obscured by clouds.

Are we so sure, so literally solidified that Florida cannot pull off this upset? I for one never thought Florida would make it this far but in watching the last couple of games . I think they may be able to do it and that would be something. For all intents and purposes--Yes. No way they pull the u...

Where is it written that disagreements of opinion must necessarily descend into personal insults? Wasn't that all covered back when we carried our Speed Racer lunch boxes to grade school?

Should be a sky high intensity game. The unfortunate side effect will be that neither team will have enough gas left in the tank when they're done with each other to finish the job against Northwestern. This will probably be such a blood and guts struggle that 40 hours will not be sufficient for eit...

Oh my goodness--not to start a spite bout or anything but you are boxed out of your mind if you think any of what you predict will come to pass this Friday. Northwestern is in their postseason locomotive-barreling-down-the-track mode. Florida's "Natty" this year was making the Final Four b...

The fact that she was face guarded only proves my point. If she was the stud the Maryland hype machine made her out to be, she would have found a way around the face guard. Izzy Scane gets face guarded often, I'm sure. I attended a game at Boston College one year when Navy face guarded Sam Apuzzo. S...

Once mighty Maryland vs ranked teams since their last national championship in 2019. (2020 through 2024) 4-10 vs Top 5 9-14 vs Top 10 28-24 vs Ranked teams overall. If you want a real eye opener (I don't feel like crunching the numbers) go back and look at their record vs. ranked teams from 2015 th...

The thing about woman’s lacrosse is that to me only the championship makes a successful season. For a certain few teams--absolutely. Only a national championship ultimately makes a successful season for these teams--Boston College, North Carolina, Maryland, Northwestern... I don't know who else get...

She was indeed. I was surprised at how much fire she still had for the game.

Agree that it's all mental for Syracuse when it comes to BC. Trainor was of course an assistant at BC and Acacia-Walker just knows how she thinks/coaches or something. Syracuse has actually overachieved this year imo (lots of big wins and close losses against great teams while facing by far the tou...

I just watched an interview on our local NBC news ( I have to specify the network so it doesn't become an issue for the tool bags on this forum) :D The dude was demanding an IMMEDIATE CEASE FIRE in Gaza. He is under the delusional belief that a cease fire = peace in our time. He went as far to insi...

If BC wasn't able to beat Northwestern at home in Boston earlier this season, what will be the difference if they meet again for the final? Just curious. This!! BC has an incredible offense, but Northwestern is better. BC has an amazing defense but people don’t realize how hard it is to stop 3 curr...

Final: BC vs NW, BC wins by 2 in a relatively low scoring game. I think Acacia WW and Jen Kent will put together an excellent game plan for this one and learn from last year's mistakes. If BC wasn't able to beat Northwestern at home in Boston earlier this season, what will be the difference if they...

Not impossible though. Northwestern beat Michigan three times last season. North Carolina beat Boston College three times in 2022.
