So the Elite 8 by Conference: 
3 Acc: Virginia, Duke and Notre Dame

2 Ivy: Yale and Penn 
1 Patriot: Loyola(MD)
No NY schools, even though they have by far the most teams. MD and PA lead the way with 2 teams each in the Elite 8.

W Lacrosse

Northwestern bested Syracuse by 4 goals, while Maryland Smoked Denver by 9 goals. They will square off against one another in the Final Four.  

The other semifinal will be Carolina vs Boston Col. So we are guaranteed a Big Ten-ACC NCG.

Odd that D1 has different rules than D3, who keeps the clock running once one of the teams gets up by 10 goals. Of course most D1 games are decided by single digits whereas double digit blow outs are the norm in D3 wlax. D3 had a shot clock a season or two before D1 did though, so perhaps they are used as a testing ground for new rules.

They went with the two games Sat, two games Sun format for the Elite 8, but Maryland suffered a one goal loss to Virginia today. So Virginia will face Duke in the Final Four.

The other two Final Four slots will be decided tomorrow, when Penn St plays Loyola and Yale plays Penn. If Penn State and Yale both win then the Leos will have a chance to avenge their only loss of the season.

Penn St beat Loyola by 7 goals, and Yale edged Penn by 1 goal. So Penn St will get a chance to avenge their 1 goal loss to Yale, which again is their lone blemish on the season. 

The winner of PSU-Yale gets the winner of Virginia-Duke in the NCG. 

A rematch of last year's NCG is still on the table, where Yale defeated Duke.

Actually, Brutus, Northwestern bested Maryland in the B1G championship game (the only Terrapin loss all year.)

Badgers had a huge 7th inning rally to eliminate Notre Dame on a two-out, three-run, walk-off homer in softball, then became the first team to beat (and even score on) Oklahoma in something like forever (snapped a 41-game winning streak, and a NCAA regionals 43-inning scoreless streak), but then lost in the second matchup, 2-0, sending the Badgers home. Still, a pretty good showing in the tourney for them.

Those were two tough games yesterday!  The Badgers are a tough, gritty team.  With great pitching from Mens (Menz?), good fielding, and two perfectly executed squeeze bunts, they broke the Sooners' long winning streak.  The second game was equally tough, again with Mens in the circle for Wisconsin, but the Sooners got a small-ball run and a solo HR for the win.
Too bad one of those teams had to have its season end yesterday.

Gopher SB dispatched Georgia today (delayed by bad weather) and will host the Bayou Bengals next weekend for the Super Regionals. The Bulldog SP couldn't find the strike zone to save her life, and one of the few strikes she did throw got hit about halfway up the light tower in right center.
