Northwestern = NCAA Champs

[Deleted]

Northwestern attains its first NCAA championship in 64 years, trouncing Virginia 13-10 to win the Division I Women's Lacrosse Championship yesterday at Annapolis, Md.

"It isn't life or death or even anything close, but on Sunday (tomorrow) 11:30 PDT, 1:30 CDT, 2:30 EDT.........

"The Northwestern Women's Lacrosse Team Plays Duke University for the NCAA Women's Lacrosse National Championship.

"The match will be on television CSTV - Channel 610 on DirecTV.

"It also happens to be a free CSTV weekend so even if you don't subscribe it will be on tomorrow.

"I believe Northwestern has not won a sports related National Championship since 1941."

Northwestern Alumni Association (NAA) is dedicated to fostering a mutually beneficial and enduring relationship between Northwestern University and all of its 160,000 alumni.

If they won the Championship over Virginia, then why do they have to play Duke for the Championship? If you haven't won in more than 50 years, do you have to play a second school just for kicks?

Also, Lacrosse must be something if a 3 point win, 13-10, is a "trouncing", or was that sarcasam?

Hey, after 64 years of drought, a one point victory would be a trouncing! I threw in the email from Northwestern Alumni Ass'n which incorrectly mentioned NWU was playing Duke because I thought it explained something about the emphasis NWU places on sports. (BTW, it's sarcasm.)

Before any of you Big 10 bashers start snickering, I believe it is important to point out and place in perspective that when Northwestern last reached the pinnacle 64 years ago, it was in a sport more attuned to our national interest: from a JTawa forum: "The national title for Northwestern was the school's first in any sport since fencing captured the championship in 1941."

Also to note: Northwestern only has had a program for four years. The team was club status in 2001. They had a program earlier but then it was disbanded.
