Thought I'd make thread for these two games. Semi No. 1: unseeded Florida against the prohibitive (my view) favorite. I was impressed with Florida against Maryland, but this is a different mountain to climb. Better defense than Maryland; exponentially better offense than Maryland. 18-11? Sounds abo...

Laliberty often seems to make that important save late in the game to stop an opponent’s run or preserve a lead. It is probably way too difficult (without rigorous and voluminous research and time) to quantify that, but I do believe that Laliberty is a top 10-15 goalie for that reason. She is an im...

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.

People are taking the angle that this is an Ole Girl network saving Missy and Kimel. Maybe? I have no knowledge or background on relationships here. But any thoughts if it is the other way? Navy seems the team left out, any bad blood or burnt bridges with the Navy coach? Wasn't she at Maryland befo...
