In the NCAA's first
quarterfinal doubleheader foray away from the East Coast, college
lacrosse's flag-bearer for the West created a lasting memory.
Denver's Eric Law stuck a rebound off a Kieran Burke deflection
of an Eric Adamson shot with 13 seconds left to lift the
fourth-seeded Pioneers to an improbable 12-11 win over fifth-seeded
North Carolina in a quarterfinal at Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday.
Law's sixth point (three goals, three assists) punctuated the
Pioneers' comeback from a 6-0 deficit — the largest ever
overcome in this round — in the game's first 10 minutes,
sending them to their second NCAA semifinal in three seasons and a
matchup with Syracuse on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field in
Philadelphia.
"The play was designed for Adamson. He was the hot hand," Law
said. "Burke made a great save. I saw it on the ground, picked it

there that I realized we were up one and there were 13 seconds
left." [read entire article]
