Great job fighting back! Never in doubt
1) dook played as well as they can play today. They just don't have the horses.
2) Sheehan Burch is so much better at color commentary than Charlotte North. It's nice to not have to hit mute during the game.
3) It's so hard to sustain defensive pressure on the Heels. They never stop moving and their passes are lightning fast.

Great 2nd half by the Heels! Whew, order has been restored to the universe. Duck fook!
Doom’s zone didn’t get called for much or any shooting space penalties which was surprising. A couple of 3 secs I think were called. Just expected more calls based on how previous zone teams were called.
Glad we have Chloe but there were times I wanted her to take even more shots

Just an unreal game by Chloe.
She scored or assisted on all but one goal for the Heels.

Turnovers were out of control in the first half, and dook was not really even causing them.
But is pretty amazing we can open with a D- first half, respond with a B- second half, and still dominate dook.
Humphrey scored 7 goals and 3 assists, 5 of her goals were unassisted. Our offense was trash all game but Humphrey just said "I got this." She is averaging 9.5 PPG over the last 6 games, The reigning NPOY is actually playing at a higher level.
This is a great point but I legit though that dook was successfully avoiding the shooting space and 3 calls better than most teams we have played by pushing the zone out farther from net. I was pretty impressed with their defensive team play.Doom’s zone didn’t get called for much or any shooting space penalties which was surprising. A couple of 3 secs I think were called.

Our last ACC loss was Apr 24, 2024: 23 ACC wins in a row. Let's get three more...
Next up is..... 8 seed dook! 11AM Wed 4/22 in Charlotte
Dook has fallen to 30th in the RPI rankings with a 9-7 record. In terms of the bubble they are probably on the outside looking is with a 29 team tournament and 15 automatic qualifiers. about 8 of whom are below the bubble.
6 Seed ND is also in a precarious position at 27th. they will face 3 seed Clemson who is 17th in RPI.

I'm not sure the RPI will be as important this year. The ratings are pretty messed up. As of last week, the Heels were #9 in the RPI rankings. Not sure where they are now, but there's no way they were the ninth strongest team in the country at any time in the last two seasons.
I have to admit, the first half was probably one of the worst that our team has had this year. This just let us know that we are only human and that no one is perfect. I would rather have this happened now than in the ACCT or NCAAT. As the announcer said yesterday, Duke had a terrible game as a whole against Clemson last week. This is just an indication to all teams at some point are going to have that game when things are just not clicking right and you have to find a way to win no matter what. There was a quote that I read earlier today on Tarheel times that says this which is appropriate to what our girls was going through against Duke in the first half. It says,
The real test of a person doesn't come when everything is going well. The real test of a person comes after adversity has struck and he or she overcomes and conquers it.
--Terry Donahue
This is what our team did yesterday in the second half. They found a way to conquer the adversity in the first half.

We've never seen a lacrosse player like Chloe. The combination of skill, athleticism, vision, awareness, anticipation and competitiveness is mind-blowing.
She is a phenom and a generational talent. This is why she is in my mind the best college player last year and this year as a sophomore. She has been through a lot, but she is also the highest worker on our team as Jenny as stated. To be great, you must put the time in and she does this time in and time out. That is what great players do. MJ, KB, etc. These men and women are wired and built differently. Chloe is not only the best player in college but dog gone it, she is the best leader on the team. You say it on display yesterday. I love her energy, her tenacity, her grit and toughness, her leadership when she brought the team together and said to them, Let's Go!. You cannot teach that. That is the fire and compassion that she plays with. This is why I watch women's lacrosse. It is all because of her. I have never seen a player like her before. She is must watch tv. Each time I see her play, I am blown away on what she does on the field. Go Heels!
I thought they said that Taylor was leading in goals during the Duke game, but it looks like CH is now in front with 79. Did NW finish up last weekend? Because I thought they said she had something in the low to mid 70's, and she has 74 on NCAA stats. CH is solidly in the lead in points. If they win the title, then she's gotta be a lock for NPOY. If, dog forbid, NW does better in the tournament, I'm wondering if they'll give it to Taylor. Undeniable that it's Chloe's to lose.
they said MT was ahead (by 1) after Chloe's first goal. then she scored 6 more. NW has finished regular season, having played 2 more games than UNC. But NW has a bye to the semifinals in the BIG10 tournament, so they will only play 2 games at most in that tournament.

First team All ACC: Sam Forrest, Chloe Humprey, Kate Levy, Eliza Osburn, Addison Pattillo
Second Team: Brooklyn Walker-Welch
Third team: Kayleigh Harden, Kylie Mottice
I was looking for Levy's name. Glad she was recognized, because she's been incredible this season.

Just like in field hockey, it’s so funny/annoying how much the announcers try to act like the game is closer or in doubt with the Heels ahead.
Thanks for the wonderful observation JOB1937. I glad that someone else is noticing this too. This makes me think that just do not like us. They make excuses for the other teams. They try to down play how good our defense is. For example, when we played Duke last week. The announcers were saying how good Duke played us before halftime. They try to say that if Duke could have score during the 2nd half they could have hung with us, etc. They would never admit that our defense had a lot to do with them not being able to score. I was annoyed by this too.
“You wonder what the outcome would be if dook had done better on draw controls.” Um, that’s a key part of the game.
Imagine them saying, “You wonder what the outcome would be if the Carolina football team tackled their opponent behind the line of scrimmage on each play.”

Funny how other teams bench players celebrate their (few) goals . Unc scores so many goals that unless the goal is really spectacular, very little reaction
UNC was in control, dook cut the lead to 4 and the announcers said we were on the ropes .
we were not on the ropes
we were not on the ropes
I understand that sentiment but dont like to wish bad karma on the Heels. We were going to be successful with or without her and her playing time would have decreased this year. I can't fault her for leaving. Just didnt work out team wise.
Crazy how many generational players UNC has had across the sports spectrum over the years...Humphrey another in that long list.
Pattillo was noticeably absent much of that game. I'm not sure why.
Also, I think the referees have been really good all season, but these last two games seemed off - especially the one in Durham. Just some strange calls...

One of these days, I fully expect to see a Chloe shot go through the back of the net.
I expect to see a Charly Bruder shot go through an opposing field hockey player’s body.
