And there goes Izzy Scane for her 3rd goal of the first half… and 274th of her career! Ridiculous.
Cats up 8-1. They look like a team of destiny.

Ugh. Izzy Skane scored her 4th goal but they missed it and there’s no replay.
They Grayhounds then came down the field and scored. So it should be 9-2, but it’s 8-2 and she’s stuck at 3.

Denver played a soft schedule this year, but remains undefeated with high quality wins over Maryland, BC and UNC. So you have to assume they’ll be a very tough opponent.

Many years ago I started school at Northwestern, finished a degree at U of Denver. Have followed sports programs of both ever since. Right now, life is sweet.

It's been awhile since we've seen someone not double Skane every time she touched the ball. Guess there's a reason why. That was a Tewaaraton-winning performance tonight
Fun, relentless team defense.
A little sad not to get a rematch vs. UNC, but a Final Four matchup against first-timers Denver should be great clash of styles. Go 'Cats!
Wootton the world are you talking about?
Denver's zone defense was impressive. It is effective because women's stick technology makes outside shooting difficult. It is easier to recover in a zone in women's lacrosse since the effective scoring area is so much smaller than in the men's game. UNC moved the ball quickly but the condensed zone limited shots.
UNC did not exploit transition , allowing Denver to set up their zone.
It will be interesting to see how NU fares . I hope they improve their 8 yard frees against UD

First we take their best young (men's) basketball player, Justin Mullins, now we're going to try to take away their perfect lacrosse season...
Yes. Me too. But I hope Denver is more so. If we can get our o rolling well vs their stout d we will win. Their o doesn't scare me. I just hope they don't do what Michigan did the opening tourney game first half. They will probably try....now is our coach time to shine with a great game plan
Do I know all the rules? No. Can I always follow all the action? No. Am I having a great time watching a fun game? Hell yeah.
Down 4-2 midway through the 2nd period NU rips off 4 goals in 4 minutes to take the 6-4 lead. A real body blow to the Denver psych. How will they respond?
No let up Cats!

It's a pretty easy sport to casually follow, there aren't constant big stoppages with complex infractions like football or basketball, there aren't areas of the field with special zones that need to be respected too much like hockey, and there's plenty of action.
Thank you! I could not sort through all of the flak to find this simple piece of information.
