The Duke Blue Devils have won the Division I National Lacrosse Championship. The game was won less than 10 seconds after the sudden-death overtime began. Congratulations on a program that has come full-circle, and hats off to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on an amazing season. The game ended 5-6 (OT).

As for next year, go Virginia Cavs!

What's the difference between Lacrosse and Field Hockey? Some schools have one and some schools have the other.

For that matter, what's the difference between a Voilin and a Fiddle?

I know that there is a difference, just don't know what.

I went to Ask.com

Two different games with different origins. In Field Hockey the ball is hit with a stick, in lacrosse it’s carried in a basket attached to a stick. Both require players to be in good shape and stresses running ability.

Hmmm, I didn't know that! I learned something new!

Lacrosse is considered by many to be hockey on grass, and as some would say, the fastest game on two feet. Subbing is done on the fly, and contact is frequent. There are both defensive and offensive schemes, as there is in any sport that involves two sides of the ball. 3 defenders on the field have 6' sticks to make them more efficient in taking the ball away and getting it to their offense. The field is very large, and when two talented teams that are evenly matched are playing, the game is quite high scoring and displays a level of athleticism that is different that traditional sports, but none the less evident. Offense is typically characterized by "dodging," when the man with the ball has been left on an island 1v1 with his defender. Shots are placed on the run, or from a written up play that usually leaves a teams best shooter to pick a corner from distance at 95mph+. On the defensive side of the ball, defenders are large and tough. "Stick checks" and "Body checking" are similar to that displayed in hockey. And most of all, nothing gets fans to their feet more than a goalie making an acrobatic save from point blank range.

Youtube has tons of videos, from shot competitions, to biggest hits of all time, to highlights of every national championship game.

Hope this helps! You answer some questions I had about working out, and I get you back here. ;)

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
