And plays for the National Championship in Lacrosse today against Navy. I saw Navy and Syracuse (my alma mater) play last weekend in the quarterfinals against Cornell and Georgetown respectively. It should be a great game.

One thing about the Naval Academy - not one of their players yelled, took a cheap shot, argued with an official, abused their equipment - a quality group of young men.

I actually watched most of the game yesterday Chris. Down here in Texas we don't get to see much of it on TV but I really enjoyed it. It was a great game (or is it match).

You could defintely stay in shape playing it that's for sure.

I thought on Saturday SU played about as pefect a game as they could against the evil empire. But Monday's game - wow! I don't think I've ever seen so much action, excitement, drama in a championship game. The difference was the goalies. When Navy's man went out they began to slip. But SUs Pfieffer was a flippin wall! He stopped several shots from just a few yards out that I thought for sure would go in.

Dan Harris for Navy is one of my former astronomy students. He had a nice game. He is a quality person. He's disciplined but a little bit on the wild side. Probably perfect for the academy. I hadn't seen him play since we lost to West Genesee (which was mentioned about ten times on the championship broadcast - but they do have a program of excellence without peer) in a sectional championship game. I think this was the first finals were I thought that maybe losing to these guys (Navy) might not be so bad!

Just a fantastic weekend for LAX. Not to mention, LeMoyne also winning. Which makes Syracuse the official lacrosse capital of the universe!

someone called in WAER and said "The streak is still alive, 22 straight trips to the final four for SU, 0 and 17 for Johns Hopkins."
