i've never really watched lacrosse before for more than a minute or two, but i just watched the end of the div 1 national championship and it was pretty entertaining. syracuse was down 9-6 with very little time left and came back to tie it with some tough play and amazing luck in the final seconds. then they won the game with a goal very early in overtime. exciting game.
for you folks that know something about lacrosse, why in the world did cornell try to push the ball up the field when they had it with 40 seconds left, ahead by a point, instead of just trying to hold on to the ball until the end?
