May 24 — Semifinals 3 p.m.| (1) Northwestern vs. Florida 5:30 p.m.| (2) Boston College vs. (3) Syracuse I have to think about it a bit, but I am today skeptical that these will be competitive, in the sense of one-goal games and the risk of overtime, etc. I was impressed with Florida when they beat ...

I did not realize that “ Amonte Hiller said her husband, assistant coach Scott Hiller, reminded the group in his postgame speech that the seniors went undefeated at home in their careers. ”

It's been discussed before but why are the Orange still playing their starters up 18 - 8 with 4 min left in the 4th?

They have a running clock, they covered the spread and the over. What is there left for the starters to play for?

Florida at Maryland- Gators take it. Yale at Syracuse, - Cuse take it by 5. Michigan at BC, - Michigan takes down BC. Penn at NW, - NW wins easily. Joe Joe and NULax, just curious: why do you guys think BC is vulnerable against Michigan? I am thinking that Michigan just doesn't have enough offense ...

Don't look now, Spidey's got some real competition

I'd switch Thacker (1st Team) and Nalls (2nd Team). Both great defenders and players, but I think Nalls has a harder job within the UNC defense (than Sam does within Denver's), particularly this year. Completely agree. Thacker had an injury season ending after game 12. How can she be a first team a...

I'm going with Stanford. Denver is not the same without Thacker.

Navy seems the team left out, any bad blood or burnt bridges with the Navy coach? Wasn't she at Maryland befo...

*Edited to add I didn't realize their best win was against #30... hmmm

If it came down to navy versus duke, for a spot in the dance, I’d rather see navy.
