It's John Hopkins vs Duke this coming Monday

[Phil C]

for the NCAA men's 2005 National Championship in Lacrosse.

I think the game on Monday will be televised on ESPN starting at 11:00 A.M.

The semi final of the game between John Hopkins vs Virginia must have been a dandy. Virginia scored with 12 seconds in the game and looked like they won 8 to 7 but John Hopkins came down the field and scored with about a second left to sent the game to sudden death and then after John Hopkins blocked a shot at it's goal they went down the field and scored the winning point. Surely a great game for Lacrosse fans of which I must admit to a certain fault I am not.

Believe it or not Phil, I watched the OT period of JH/UV. It was very entertaining. I still can't grasp the sport fully yet, though.

Ditto on this, Phil. and if not for you, I probably wouldn't have bothered, but it was entertaining.
