For those hoping to watch the ceremony tonight, it will most likely be streamed on YouTube.

This is an article I happened to come across yesterday. An NU student's summation of the 2024 season: Lacrosse season recap: This team is more than a title Smile because it happened. By So and So on May 29, 2024 Truth be told, it didn’t matter if Northwestern won. The program would have nine titles ...

My dad wasn't casual about his interests--he really enjoyed doing all those things. As he got older he spoke more and more abo...

Whether you intended to talk to me or not--you did. You quoted me so naturally I got a notification. We, who argued the save was skill, were correct. Bringing the element of luck into it was just plain dumb. If this was a Dissect-and-Analyze-Goaltending thread--sure, relevant to discuss. I quoted L...

Can't it be both...skill and luck? She made the smart move, went in the right direction, and by virtue of both skill and luck, her shin/foot was in the right spot to make the save. A lot of things in sports (and life) are combinations of skill and luck. Nope--if she moved her leg, she gets full cre...

Probably JMU - did they have someone? If you put 3 of the 5 finalist on BC they are not finalist in my opinion. Maybe 4 of the 5? They team you play for, the coach the coach you play for, the conference you play within and the talent pool you are surrounded by dictate your role, your stats and your...

Someone posed a great question:

Which was the last D1 women's team to win a national championship with no one representing their team among the five finalists for the Tewaaraton? (If there even was one...)

It's SO OBVIOUS Dolce MOVED HER LEG to make the save. Ridiculous--utterly ridiculous to allege she was lucky. Just Asinine. (And probably jealous, too.)

2:36. Not bad for a championship game. How many other sports can broadcast their final title game in under 3 hours?

Agreed. And I'll add--the bigger the game, the worse they perform.

ONW WHAT HAPPENED??? Boston College played an overall better game. Much better game in crunch time. They kept focus. Whereas I felt Northwestern changed how they were going about their business and started to try to get cute after running up the 6-0 lead. Either NU eased off the gas a little or BC ...

Boston College. Two national championships in four years; back to back ACC championships; three Tewaaraton awards; seven straight trips to the national championship game. Clearly now a dynasty.
