<p>This is the second time this season that Johns Hopkins beat Duke by one goal – pretty intense competition. </p>
<p>I have to wonder whether JHU’s football team could beat Duke’s football team. JHU’s football team is a pretty good Division III team. Duke’s football team is a pretty bad Division I team. It might be an interesting match up.</p>
<p>That game was incredible!!</p>
<p>My son started with Lacrosse last year, and I absolutely love to watch the game. Soooo exciting.</p>
<p>What was incredible, to me, was that the Hopkins defense shut down the Duke attack for over 25 minutes throughout the last part of the 3rd quarter and the entire 4th. I was pleased to see ESPN broadcasting the game, and hope that many people for whom lacrosse was a new sport tuned in and paid some attention: except for the 4th Q (which was certainly a nail-biter but not indicative of lax games in general), it was a game with lots of excitement.</p>
<p>We’ve been waiting a long, long time for this, and it is sweet indeed.</p>
<p>(Oh. I said “we”. Heh heh. I should make sure my affiliation is clear…)</p>

<p>H took the boys to the game in Philly. Loved every minute of it. 4 of the younger boys are very much into lacrosse and are playing on teams so it was an exciting day for all!</p>
<p>Lax is such a game of spurts. That was one of the best games I’ve ever seen - and I was glad Hopkins finally won one (although UVa would have been my first choice). Duke looked like they fell asleep in the fourth.</p>
<p>I am SO dumb. I read the subject heading of this thread and thought it was about Berurah’s son!</p>
<p>But soozievt, in a way, it <em>is</em> – Berurah’s son was making his decision in April when the regular-season Duke-JHU game took place, and we joked here about how he ought to just decide to go to the school whose team won that game. Since it turned out to be such a close game (double overtime), it was clearly not a good tie-breaker. When the same two teams were playing in the NCAA finals, it was only fitting that NJres should post about it. So… you weren’t wrong after all!</p>
