I would have put her right next to Mashewske
so she could harass her immediately when she
got the ball.

Riskier this year, though, right? Mashewske draws to self, takes possession; anything but a clean takeaway is a Green Card. Surprised they didn't try it once or twice, but the fact that the draw-taker controls inside the 30s makes it risky this year.

Nice methodical win for Syracuse today. Tyrrell, Ward and Adamson are just so composed. Was Rowley injured? Is that why Britton was in there? She had a very nice game.

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.

Could say the same about Loyola
Every year…..same ole…

Wow just wow. I didn’t notice this when it happened and I thought the offensive foul was called on a bad screen or something.

Sad it didn’t get called a card even as a UNC fan, but also players make mistakes but her frustration losing in what could’ve been her last collegiate game shouldn’t have led to that.

That is so Busch league. Why do we let things like that slide? Where are her teammates coming to her defense? Where is the apology from Levy postgame? IMO, gender stereotypes feed into why stuff like this is allowed/accepted/gets brushed under the rug in the women’s game. I don’t know, maybe I am wrong. But watching that just gets me fired up.

That’s inexcusable and there needs to be a response by unc or the ncaa. I don’t know what they can do but that’s ridiculous. Edit: looks like she has another year of eligibility. She needs a lengthy suspension. Not a 1 gamer against furman. Like 5 games.

Stony Brook lost to the higher seed and was not a favorite in this game. How is that underachieving?

They did raise some eyebrows. Not gonna win the NC, which
of course, is underachieving in the two-bit critic's mind.

It would be one thing if this player didn't have a history of this kind of stuff going all the way back to high school. Saw her get red carded for a cross check to the back of a player's neck behind the play in a Under Armour Underclass game when she was a rising senior at BI. The girl she hit is now a teammate at UNC and Levy was on the sideline when it happened. She also took a cheap shot at my daughter in a HS game as the ball was going up to the other end out of frustration that no one saw, but my daughter was bleeding all over the place.

With a growth of the game and the expansion of programs at BCS level schools, it’s becoming harder and harder for schools like Stonybrook to be national championship contenders. Of course, he wants to win a national championship, but they’re pretty much close to or at their ceiling Now given the landscape of the rest of division one

With all that said, though, I will agree that his teams accommodations at Syracuse yesterday were atrocious. How on earth can you call that in NCAA tournament worthy locker room set up? I don’t care if you stuck Stoneybrook or UNC in there. His gripe is still fair. And I also agree with him that that wouldn’t happen on the men’s side.

Sorry, voice text.

What was the gripe about locker rooms at Syracuse? Because all the games were on at once (eyeroll), I was jumping from game to game and didn't see.

Stony Brook is a top 25, R1 university near nice beaches and near NYC, so it's limit seems to be that none of the SUNYs are that attractive to folks from out of state. Is that why it won't be a top contender?

I agree there should be postgame reviews on such plays with punishment meted out retroactively. But would the NCAA shell out the money to facilitate that? Highly doubtful to no frickin way.

No, it's not enough. Using your stick as a weapon is strictly verboten. She'd have to be mighty remorseful and have a real good explanation as to why she used her stick as a weapon with the intent to injure another player to remain on my team. You're too much of a liability to your team, and too dangerous a person to be on the field if you lose control and attack another player like that. Sitting out one game is a slap on the wrist for such an egregious offense.
