See here is what you are so quick to forget and anyone who knows anything about that the game just sits there and laughs at you for your negative commentary about young women. Maryland was winning 14-10 with 6:22 left to play in the game, a FOUR goal lead. At 6:21 left in the game JMU scored, making it 14-11, at 5:45 left in the game JMU scored making it 14-12, at 2:42 left in the game JMU scored making it 14-13, at 2:04 left in the game JMU scored making it 14-14, and finally at 0:54 left in the game JMU scored making it 15-14. You know what caused each of those goals to be scored against Maryland? A lost draw or maybe a turnover, then an offense beating a defense, and finally a save not being made. ALL of these things together CAUSED a goal to be scored against them because if one of them didn't happen then the goal is never scored. Lacrosse is a team game and there were TEAM breakdowns that CAUSED them to not go into OT against JMU well before the shot was taken with 0:27 left in the game to give them a CHANCE at going into OT against JMU. With 0:18 seconds left on the clock a turnover occurred, but did that sole mistake cause them to NOT go into OT? No, because there were countless things that had happened PRIOR to that, that contributed to the TEAM not advancing. Arguably they should have never even been in that position at that time. If it weren't for the many other CASUES that occurred, like not winning a draw, not making a save, not finishing shots, etc. what had happened in those last 30 seconds wouldn't have mattered. Did the save by the JMU goalie and turnover play a factor, obviously because they lost possession and were unable to score a tying goal, but so did every other thing that happened in the last 6 minutes of that game. Each of the mistakes that had happened collectively caused them to be in that position at that time of the turnover. So to sit there and say that was what "caused them to NOT be able to go into OT" is just downright foolish. Lacrosse is a team game and last time I checked there are 12 players on the field and not just one. I'd love to see you go out there and take the draw, pass to yourself, shoot, play defense, AND save the ball against another team's 12 players ! Until then, keep your negative commentary to yourself. Just love the game and celebrate the incredibly hard work of all the athletes that get the honor to be called a college lacrosse player no matter the division!
