She is fun to watch but I don't think UNC is shooting particularly well.

No I agree, they aren’t

No slight on the keeper. She is making the stops she "should" and some she shouldn't. Like I said, she is fun to watch.

Giving up lethal scoring chances and yet they’re only down by 6. I’m waiting for Notre Dame’s intensity to begin taking a toll on their wind. Oh, and not so you’d really notice it, I counted at least three Irish with their arms raised in victory at the end of the first quarter. That’s bad karma right there. If Duke comes back and wins this game that’s one of the moments that may have galvanized them for their comeback. We shall see.

Conversely, we may be witnessing the fallout from that Carolina beating. Maybe Duke won’t recover from that this year.

I like Notre Dame's offense when Ahern works from behind the cage. Earlier in the year, they had her dodging from the top, and lost the ability to feed and score from below GLE.

Now 11-2. Wow. Pretty deep ditch.

This looks very familiar to when Duke played Syracuse earlier this year. Cuse was able to slow momentum in the 2nd quarter. Still a lot of time left, but good adjustments need to be made soon. Like now.

I thought defense was more responsible than goalie play. Notre Dame was wide open all day in the 8m.

Pitt's goalie also set an ACC tournament record for saves with 19. They have far exceeded my expectations this year

Certainly helps to be loaded with transfers and 5th year players who know what it takes to win at this level. Not many first year programs get that benefit! Hopefully next year's team can keep the momentum going. Good for Pitt lacrosse, good for this team. I'm sure they'll bring their best game on Friday, as they have all season regardless of who they're playing.

I only was able to watch about 20 minutes of game but was really surprised with how poor Louisville played. It must be a tough flight home when you are the first team eliminated in a tourney. Kudos to Pitt what a great year they are having!!

Only game I see as competitive tomorrow is ND/Duke. I am going with the upset....
