Just ridiculous! Way to many pansies. Refs should be calling red cards on the floppers for delay of game

So is it true that EH on Syracuse tested positive for CoVid Saturday morning before game? Is that now allowed? Is that why she had mask on?

April 11, Top 20. Will any Top 20 Teams be on the outside looking in come tournament time?

Is it the turf in the Dome?

They should probably take a close look at their strength and conditioning program/coach.

Notre Dame should not make the NCAA Tournament.

^100%. Something is up with all the injuries. Yes, it is turf.
I was also wondering why EH was wearing a mask, she hadn't in previous games.

Maybe EH came in close contact with someone who tested positive but she tested negative and wore the mask as a precaution, who cares.

Seriously are we going to talk about wearing a face mask by a Syracuse player when BC players were decimating porn to underage kids and worse charges.

Oh, OK. Give me a break. Clearly someone who dislikes BC. If there were any seriousness to this, it would be public, but it's not. No one knows the story, so stop trying to constantly bring it up.

The matchup was her third straight game giving up less than six goals and having over a .667 save percentage. Sterling held the Nittany Lions to a season-low six goals on 23 shots, notching eight saves to only two goals allowed in the second half. Sterling currently leads the country in save percentage (.560) and goals against average (7.23). She also backlines a defense only allowing 7.33 goals per game, the second-best mark in the country.

I agree and my kid plays for ND. I was mortified

Congrats to the Dukies, beating BC is a great win. I have given them some grief over their schedule, but you cannot argue with their results. 3-1 against ranked ACC teams with UNC left.

Awesome moment when the freshman goalie stopped the anointed one with 3 minutes left in a free position.

It was, and B. Smith was def. The queen of the BC team today. I think a Much better all around “team player”

Thank you Mr. Smith

Lost the game…

Nope! You are Wrong and I’m just a fan. She’s a great player and I really enjoy watching her play! She had an Amazing day! She should be recognized as a great all around team player !

Who cares? They lost. Only the winners get glory

I agree. Not a fan of BC because of North but I do like Smith. Love how she plays and her excitement for her team. She is my daughter’s favorite player. She met her last summer at a YJ clinic. She was really nice to the girls taking pics.

Did you enjoy your popcorn?

Gotta give it to Duke. They have definitely proved themselves worthy of being a top team. Jenner is an absolute beast and with her and the other grad students, a completely different team. Still not a fan of the weak schedule. Not necessary!

No horse in this race. Just some observations. Duke obviously played the better overall game. I agree the TOs by Duke balanced out the draw count that they had in there favor.

However, if we had instant replay the winner goal wouldn’t have counted. Her foot landed on goal circle when she came down, and second which is most important you can’t pull your strings after the goal anymore. You have to drop your stick. This didn’t happen. Take a look….thoughts?

Again I could care who won, but just want instant replay in a game that needs it based on so many tough/important calls.

As the regular season comes to a close I am curious to see who people think the Tewaaraton will go to. After watching alot of games this year the pre season front runners CN, JO are great players but I feel others are more deserving. I have two main issues with CN. She does not make anyone around her better and when not being faceguarded actually seems like many of her talented team mates are uninvolved making the team much less dynamic.The other thing is she is essentially uninvolved in the ride and even when the other team wins the draw she seems to just give up.
JO its simply a matter of being just an attacker , not involved on the draw and being part of a team that has so many offensive weapons seems to make her less vital to her teams success. After watching UNC play multiple times this year I dont think she is the best player on her team . She may set the points record for the NCAA this year which means she will most likely get the Tewaaraton but after watching the UVA game I wonder how many of those came with 3 seconds left in a game that was over way earlier, that was clear stat padding .
I have not heard much about it but I think Ally Mastrianni (spelling) should be considered as she is excellent at the draw, on offense and may be the best defensive middie in the game.

Tons of hype for North after last season and the start of this season. She’s a great player but can the announcers stop with “greatest lacrosse player ever” nonsense. Seems she’s not even the best player on her team.

Cordingley Gilbert or Barry. I’m good with any three of those right now. Got some time left though.

TC still the greatest player! CN, I don’t think as much the whole package as TC was! Need to make everyone around you better as well. I think better players and more deserving of the Tewarton than CN. This is not tennis/individual sport !
