Lacrosse Drops Heartbreaking CAA Final, Left Out of Tournament
Great season Dukes!
For the second year in a row, JMU’s women’s lacrosse team fell in the CAA Championship to top-seeded Towson. This time it was in truly heartbreaking fashion as the Tigers scored the game-winner with 34 seconds left in OT to prevail 12-11. As expected, the CAA was deemed unworthy of an at-large bid, though to be fair there wasn’t a single team you’d consider a mid-major (at least not in lax) from anywhere selected as an at-large. Really crummy luck for the Dukes, but a fantastic season from the women and hopefully they’re proud. We sure were.
Only softball, baseball, and a little track still playing till the JMU athletic year is over, though of course not to worry – there will be big CAA action against big rivals like Elon and Stony Brook and Winthrop to look forward to for years to come!
Great season Ladies! Keeps your heads up!
“CAA action against big rivals like Elon and Stony Brook and Winthrop to look forward to for years to come!”
Well you’ve made it clear you would rather be playing the likes of Toledo,Buffalo, Akron and a bunch of directional Michigan schools. Please tell me whats the difference. (actually don’t)
All I know is that next season we will be playing for a playoff spot and a chance at a real title on that is more impressive than the domino’s pizza bowl winner.
