It's now 7-4 with 16 left!!
7-6 Duke with 12:56 remaining.
7-7 with 7 to go. Hold on...
Why can't this team hold a lead? Crap! 7-7. Come on Duke!
Duke down 8-7...calls TO...has ball. 1:25 left.
8-7 Penn. Duke possession 1:24
8-8 1:00
8 all at 1 min. to play!!
Overtime
They go two full 3 minute overtime periods. If still tied the next period is sudden death...first goal wins.
Hang in there ladies.
Penn 9-8 final. They score late in second 3 min. period then gain control and run out clock.
Penn wins 9-8 in second OT period....tough one.
Congratulations Duke WLax on a great year. You are a class act and you will be back.
AARRRGGGGHHH!!! why can't they hold a lead? Great season, however. Congrats. How many director's cup points is that?
I believe they earn a goodly 83 Director's Cup points for reaching the Final Four. I really feel for the seniors on this team that reached their 4th consecutive Final Four without winning it all. What a special group...
Kerstin Kimel has done a fabulous job with this program and these young women as players and as people. And they will be the biggest supporters of the MLax team as they play in Boston tomorrow.
I hope the new AD can get someone who can FINALLY get the women's lax team over the hump! Four straight Final Fours and ZERO Championships!!!
2008: A double OT loss to Penn (after blowing a 7-4 lead).
2007: The BIGGEST choke job in NCAA history - blowing a 13-4 lead w/ 20 mins left and allowing Virginia to go on a 10-0 run to close the game.
2006: Overtime loss to Northwestern.
I can't understand why this team can't produce in crunch time. I think it's totally Kerstin Kimel! I hope the new AD can fix this problem ASAP!
This can't be serious. I guess you would have fired K in 1990 after he went to 4 FF in 5 years and didn't win the NC. You should read some of his quotes about how frustrated he was then and how really, really difficult he thought/thinks it is to win the NC. She is one of the biggest supporters of the LAX program(S) at Duke. Look back at some the comments she made about the men in the spring of 2006. Sure it is dissappointing and frustrating, but it sounds like this team really jelled at the right time, upsetting 2 excellent teams on the way to the FF this year.
i really wish they would institute a shot clock.
