12-5 Carolina with 4:27 left

[Tom Pasniewski 98]

With Hopkins up 15-3 with just a few minutes to go and Carolina now leading 11-5, looks like a Hopkins-Carolina matchup at UVA next weekend.

[Greenberg \'97]

Goal by (G) Russo.  I saw Brown do that to us in a playoff game back in 96 or 97.

Carolina 13-6 winner, advances to play Hopkins.

They're talking about pulling the goalie.  Can you do that to get an extra attacker, or just to double-team the attacking team? From what I remember of my (high school) playing days, 4 guys have to be behind the midfield line at all times.

Best as I can tell, the goalie just leaves the crease and double-teams the guy with the ball in an attempt to get a turnover.  That's how Hobart got their last goal last week, I think.

One of the neatest plays I've ever seen was in a game in the 80's when we were playing SU at the Dome. SU put their goalie up around midfield to help on the defense against the clearing attempt by us. We recognized it and one of our players heaved the ball. It bounced over midfield and the SU goalie, and almost went it. :-P

For all the whining about seeding on laxpower.com, it certainly looks like the criteria work well. All top 8 seeds are moving on to the next round.

But then again, all had the benefit of home field.

The NCAA's lacrosse criteria are so ridiculous, they deserve to be whined about independent of which teams are affected.

is the cornell game at noon or three?
