There was a lot of bashing of Duke for unsportsmanlike behavior for running up the score. It appears as though it was just an excuse to attack Duke, no other teams being attacked for doing the exact same thing.
Those other teams such as BC are also guilty of being unsportsmanlike but there did seem to be some differences . The teams BC have run it up against are not the caliber that Duke is doing it against and it looks to me that the removed their top scorer early when she had scored no more than she normally does against the top 10 teams . Duke has kids padding their stats putting up numbers they have no chance at getting against the best teams .
Complete BS.
Duke leads D1 lacrosse in goals per game at 23 beating their 4 opponents by a combined 92-26. Duke has the #1 and #2 point and goal leaders in the country scoring a combined 42 goals compared to 26 by their opponents. With Wofford and East Carolina coming up the onslaught should continue. The #3 points leader in the country has played two ranked teams, the #4 one ranked team and the #5 two ranked teams. Duke has played Gardner-Webb, High Point, Elon and William & Mary. That is why Duke is catching grief.
22- 5 BC over UMass 19 - 2 Albany over Colgate 22 - 6 BC over BU 21- 2 Monmouth over Central Ct 23 - 6 Syracuse over Binghamton 20 - 2 Jacksonville over Niagara 23 - 2 Michigan over Detroit Mercy
The list goes on... Fine by me to bash Duke but at least be consistent in your bashing...
