Great job by the ESPN crew getting their microphones in there.

Mics have been great all game, you can hear so much of the communication on field. This might have been their best moment though

In my old profession and in seacoaster’s current one, clients always want their lawyers to provide added value. Andie Aldave provides added value.

[njbill]

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why no one wants to play Stony Brook. They are the toughest of outs.

[Seacoaster(1)]

Great battle.

[Bart]

That was a fun game to watch.

Classy comment by Joe in the handshake line: “win the whole thing ladies.“

...and UNC-Stony Brook is the closest game of the 4. Not what I would've guessed...

You can take the boy out of Long Island ……

This was the game I was worried about when I saw Stony Brook at the #8 seed. They are always a tough out. Let’s go Heels!!

The last thing any of the top four seeds wants to see in any year is a Joe Spallina coached team. Just ask Cathy Reese.

Huh. 4-3 SBU at the half. Someone’s gotta figure out the zone.

It looks very good

They have to attack the weak side, and look for FPS opportunities. But the zone is pressing out to the 12. Very tough challenge here for UNC.

Yes, they got one very early on. Stony Brook has been able to pick off a few passes and I’m wondering if it’s making them a little hesitant to make the skip pass

So I guess the "answer" to the extended out zone was ball movement, skips when you saw them, and patiently waiting to feed Aldave in the middle of the Eight...and hoping Andy could finish. Kind of helped that Moreno, Trenchard, Nalls and Co. held SBU to five goals. Nalls is quite a player.

My top five:

UNC
BC
Maryland
Northwestern
SBU

Yeah I noticed they posted Aldave up in the middle - it’s a good answer to “break the backer”, or render it less effective, since they have to now also take Aldave into account. Still, 17 TOs was very uncharacteristic for UNC. Nalls has really come into her own this season

I think SB played the game of their life. Unc looked Ill prepared against zone. Way too many TOs but had a great ride that shaved a lot of time off SB possessions . Didn’t feel that SB had the offensive fire power they needed . Missing TO and AK from last year . Trenchard did a good job keeping Hart off scoreboard .

I agree, they played the game of their life. It was a great game
