That was a donnybrooke
16-13 MD FINAL.
BC would not have been in this game without Kenzie Kent #4. She had a role in 11 of BC's 13 goals.
A Tewarraton performance.
yes that would be great!!Thanks for posting.
There is lots of good lacrosse being played in DIII. I just think it was a shame that the women's DII and DIII were the only divisions that were left out of the festivities in Boston. The NCAA should make the weekend a true festival and hold all of the championships together.

Suppose you did it like this. Instead of a pro stadium, have it at a college campus. Let's pick on PSU. The D1 women's mens could be in the Beav same schedule as always. Prior to their game, or between game, have the DII guys and girls play at the lacrosse stadium, anybody that wants to go, could with a ticket to be big event, but really how many would? Plus you save wear and tear on the Beav. I don't know, but is there a lacrosse/football practice field large enough that you could bring in some temporary bleaches, have the DIII womens men at that venue. At worse double dip in the Lacrosse stadium. Just an idea, but it seems on college campus there are more stadiums as opposed to the pro stadiums. Yes, you could have it at say Ravens stadium (cant remember the name) but then where do you have DII and DIII? It would be a night mare getting around Baltimore to get to say Loyola, UMBC or Towson's stadium from downtown to pack it all in.I don't disagree in principal -- I just wonder about the logistics. That would be 6 matches on the semifinal day. That's a lot of wear and tear on the field, unless it is turf. And Memorial Day weekend is somewhat questionable weather wise -- last year it was unseasonably warm at Talent Energy Park, and this year it rained cats and dogs on semifinal day at Gillette Stadium. Turf could handle the wear and team, and if designed properly the rain. Unfortunately, it's a negative if the weather is warm. Plus in the years they have the men's and women's at the same location, that's that much additional wear and tear on the field, or the possibility of being impacted by weather as there would be much less flexibility in terms of postponing the start of matches.
Plus, you'd probably have to start the first match of semis around 10:30 am to get all 6 in during the day, while also allowing time between matches, time for the teams to warm up, etc. It's frustrating enough that the women are on the Friday/Sunday schedule at NCAAs (for D1and for DII -- DIII went Sat/Sun this year). By playing morning or early afternoon semi matches on Friday, it makes it tough for all but the most diehard fans to be in attendance, or to watch the video stream.
The carnival atmosphere would be awesome.

If you get in the right city, there often is more than one decent college stadium--for this level--and some have pro options. Heck, Columbus could do it with the availability of their lacrosse, etc. stadium (Owens), Mapfre Stadium (where the Crew play), and their new pro lacrosse stadium--and it would all be on grass. You would also have Ohio Stadium as well as Capital's artificial fields as well as Otterbein's grass field. That's just one example.Suppose you did it like this.
