Fantastic comeback win for Duke, who trailed by four going to the fourth quarter. Chad Cohan with the game-winner, but the heroes for Duke were Deemer Class with seven goals and Kyle Rowe who went 19-34 on faceoffs, including a win to start overtime. If you didn't see it, watch the reply on the watch ESPN app.
Great win considering the team played from behind, often way behind, all game.
Didn't make it to Koskinen, which is a shame as I really wanted to support Regan's charity and buy one of those sweet ballcaps.

Huge, huge win for a team that needed it after some recent head-scratchers. No giving up on this squad. Wish I could've been there in person!
Pretty fitting that Deemer, who shares jersey #10 with the late Jimmy Regan, was the leading scorer on the day with seven goals, by my count.

Really nice gesture by the Orange, coming out for warmups wearing #10 shirts with Regan's name on the back.

If you didn't watch it and have a chance to see a replay, be sure to watch! The game featured two different Duke teams. The first-half team must have been the same one that lost to Richmond and Air Force. I still don't know enough about lacrosse to know exactly what I'm seeing, but even I could see that the first-half defense was, in a word, horrible. At halftime I had pretty much given up hope for the game and, possibly, for the season; I did not think that defense could support any kind of a realistic run. But a different Duke team came out to play in the second half; the defense was obviously much tighter (although helped by some lapses by the Syracuse offense), and the Duke offense was clicking. Some of the passing in the second half was a wonder to behold. And Class was in a class by himself. If the defense can continue to improve, just like it did within this one game, this team can accomplish a lot of things.

With about 40 seconds left in first half Syracuse scored two straight goals. Our team did not look good at all. I thought that this was it for the season. How wrong I was wrong I was. The second half a different team showed up. The defense, great offense. It will really be interesting to see how our team performs the rest of the year.
