Full answer from Dawn Staley when asked about the final minutes of the game. Says she doesn't want the people tuning into women's basketball to think that's "our game."

Includes Flau'jae Johnson's apology to Staley after the game: "She's a really good person."

[Awful Announcing @awfulannouncing]

Shannon Sharpe takes issue with Kim Mulkey's response to the South Carolina-LSU fight: "We've got to start doing a better job of holding Kim Mulkey accountable and responsible for some of her comments. We let that stuff fly because she's a national champion. I refuse to do that. I believe she was wrong in this instance and Dawn Staley showed the utmost class and respect."

Emily Beard recorded her 100th career point in an exciting 13-12 overtime victory over Vassar!

LVC will host Susquehanna next Saturday!

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

“I love being in the gym. It’s kind of second nature to me. It’s a calming thing, it’s something I’m comfortable doing. That’s where all my confidence stems from. The time I put in the gym, the hours working on my game, it builds my confidence up,” Caitlin Clark

Effort makes a difference.

Thank you 🙏 for your service and sacrifice!

Happy Veterans Day 🇺🇸

WE’RE IN. LACROSSE IS HEADED TO THE OLYMPICS. 🥍🌎

The IOC has approved lacrosse as a sport for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

A major milestone for the sport.

You know it's going to be a great Homecoming weekend when you are able to get a picture of three generations of @LVCFootball head coaches at the Blue & White Golf Classic!

[Coach Teague (she/her) @JenTeague24]

Here for the yearly reminder…recruits please send us your schedules as soon as you get them. The night before or day of games almost assures that we won’t see you. Obviously we understand that last minute changes happen too. Best of luck this summer!

[Rachel Perla @lax_CoachP]

The best in the biz 🙌🏼🤍

[IWLCA @IWLCA]

NOT ONE. NOT TWO. THAT'S 3️⃣ NATIONAL TITLES 🏆🏆🏆 IN A ROW for @middwlacrosse Head Coach Kate Livesay‼️

FINAL: Middlebury 17, @GburgWlax 9

[alyssa murray cometti @abmurray01]

Another thing that doesn't make sense.

Can we not have the WDI and WDIII National Championships running at the SAME TIME!?

How is that something that we're doing in 2023.

I'm sure I'll have more logical questions to come as my brain unwinds from a crazy season. Stay tuned!

[Rachel Perla @lax_CoachP]

Whyyyyyy are both national championship games at the same time 😵‍💫

[Deemer Class @22classy]

5 Rule Changes I Would Love to see at the HS Women’s Level

1.Shot Clock (though I know funding is difficult)
2. Simultaneous Shooting Space Calls: Play College Rules
3. Move to Quarters (12 minutes)
4. Free Movement Through the Crease on Defense
5. AP’s instead of Re-Draws

Make the ref's lives easier, improve gameplay, and prepare the girls for the college game.

[Kerry Stoothoff @stootybooty33]

I am in awe of how poorly officiated these elite 8 games have been today. NW attacker takes an Aaron Judge HR crack at Loyola’s Jillian Wilson’s head…and Wilson is sent off with a yellow card���

Dealt with a lot of lemons this year but this group just kept making lemonade. So proud of their fight & accomplishments. New leaders in the stat book- Veronica is our new all time leader in points + assists & Julia is our new all time save leader. Couldn’t be more proud of them!

[Rachel Perla @lax_CoachP]

Another girl for our girl gang 🥰. so proud of you Coach B! 🤍🥍

[IUP Women’s Lacrosse @IUPlacrosse]

Our newest teammate!

We would like to congratulate coach B and her husband Dan on welcoming their beautiful baby girl into this world ❤️

"I don't just give honor to God when we win. He's the reason for all seasons; it's not harvest time yet. It wasn't in the cards.

I'm never going to turn my back on the game of basketball. It's given too much to me. I'm still favored."

Dawn Staley.
