Same old Notre Dame, huh? A couple of big wins during the regular season and then nothing in the post season.

Great, tenacious effort by Michigan.

Make that 8-1 with 6 different goal scorers.

running clock into the half. NU up 13 - 3

Scane now the D1 leader in goals

NU goes into halftime against Denver with a running clock: 13-3.

Why was ND pressuring so much on that last possession like they needed the ball and score? Play packed in and just go to overtime.

It appears I have been underestimating Florida all year. Florida might smoke the Terps in the Quarters.

I was perplexed by this too. Might be...coaching.

Cuse rolling . Fantastic on draw !

Nice win by Penn over Loyola today. Thought it would be difficult to beat the greyhounds twice, but penn looked GOOD

Agree with this. Definitely underestimated Florida. Wish they played a more challenging schedule in season.

I think that's exactly why I underestimated them; hard to gauge how good they are until they play competitive teams. I don't think UNC and UVA are among the top five or anything, but Florida is proving to be a very good team. Gators play very nice offense, loose, fast, deadly.

Nice win for Yale! They beat a gritty Hopkins squad to advance. Down 6-5 in the second half, they outscored Hopkins 4-1 down the stretch and pulled out the win. Hopkins played very good defense and none of the goals came easily. I was very impressed with Coach Bamford of Yale; she saved her timeouts and used them strategically to get the ball into the right sticks for some big clears late. Congratulations to Hopkins for a great season and great job, Yale. Tough job ahead in upstate New York but at this point after winning two tournament games the season's been a stunning success.

Why are they playing Thursday and not Saturday ?

And then there were eight; Quarters:

BC v. Michigan -- slugfest ahead. I think BC will win this, but Michigan is a stout, tough, disciplined team, evidenced by that comeback today.

Syracuse v. Yale -- two Ivies in the Quarters? Wow. Gotta say, Yale played a nice game against a very tough, well-coached JHU. But I think game this is the end of the line for Eli.

Northwestern v. Penn -- Northwestern. 'Nuff said.

Florida v. Maryland -- Florida, and I think it is possible that they win handily. Playing loose and smart so far. Nice effort by the Terps today, but I think Gainesville State proceeds to MDW.

I'm guessing maybe due to TV, since the games will be broadcast on ESPNU? Men are Saturday and Sunday; there's probably only so much lacrosse ESPNU wants to carry -- something else must be on tap for Friday?

Didn't think Stony Brook would be beating Cuse today. Hard fought game, Cuse prevailed.
Doesn't Masera take draws too? Was thinking Joe would put her on Mashewske so she could
be real close to her when she won it to herself. Kate is vulnerable when she has the ball
in her stick.

Masera didnt have a great game. Cuse Draw specialist really dominated.
Felt like Masera was ineffectual today. I think she gains so much when she wins draw and races down field where she can control game. That didnt happen for her today.

I've seen her take the draw though, right?
I would have put her right next to Mashewske
so she could harass her immediately when she
got the ball.
