I watched most of it on ESPNU and it was no contest! Zimmer, in particular, was dominant, with two goals and an assist. But we have a bunch of great players, including Sessa, Tromp, and Wadas to name a few, as well as our terrific goalie with another shutout.
Shots on goal dominance 11-1. In the natty…no less.
In their 4th consecutive natty.
Keep it going Coach. Still a ways to reaching KAH status.
GOUNUII
Cats caught a huge break when St. Joes beat North Carolina. At keast something good happened this weekend in Ann Arbor! Congrats, ladies.
Not going to lie, I felt really good about this game when I saw UNC get upset. Happy for Fuchs to get a 2nd title in a 4th straight NC appearance.
Makes up for last year's really tough defeat to UNC in that shootout.
To have Fuchs build such a strong program has been incredible to watch.

Right you are. To my knowledge, only two NU teams have won national championships, Field Hockey and Lacrosse. Softball lost in the final to UCLA one year in a nail biter, when Garland Cooper was the Big Ten player of the year. We've had a number of individual champions, like Luke Donald, Olivia Rosendahl, Matt Grevers and numerous wrestlers, but no other teams that I can recall. Have I missed any?
Nope, the programs that KAH and Fuchs have built are incredible; at the very top of their sports with sustaining power proven over years. Very few schools have programs like this, and we didn't before they got here.
The fact that those two have now brought 10 NCs to NU is just stupendous.
I was cruising through the roster after the game today, and we are certainly not without weapons next year, including Sessa and Olivia Bent-Cole who also had a goal today. Of course I suspect that Coach Fuchs will bring in another group of excellent recruits, but it will be tough to replace Zimmer and Skubicz.
Just returned from Ann Arbor. We were able to attend both Friday’s match and today’s championship match, which sandwiched a less enjoyable sporting event Saturday.
Today’s match was sold out. Having attended several WLAX final fours, I didn’t expect it to be sold out today. We weren’t the only ones. We ended up watching it from the highway ramp opposite the spectator stands, behind the teams’ benches. The view was actually better than the stadium itself.
Both St. Joe’s and NU had a good turnout. Unlike Friday, the Cats were dominant. Pressuring the ball in their offensive end and attacking in waves from the defensive end. Passing is incredibly accurate and ball handling is impressive.
Congrats to Coach Fuchs and the entire team. Go Cats!

Didn't know this, primarily because it happened 2 years before I was born! I don't think NU has had men's fencing for many many years, but I'm happy to have the info.
I was born before '41 but not yet following NU sports. Too busy keeping tabs on war in the Pacific back then, I guess.
