May 28th – 31st

Baltimore

NCAA Lacrosse Semifinals - Notre Dame vs 7 Cornell and 5 Duke vs 1 Virginia
NCAA Lacrosse Championship - Notre Dame vs 5 Duke

Due to parking, we decided to walk the 15 minutes each day. It was quicker.

And not that bad of a walk – thru Camden Yards.

The event was at M&T Bank Stadium.

This year, we were trying something different. We were sharing our truck with CBS College Sports on Sunday. That is our “edit day” and also their day covering the D-II and D-III Championships.

It was saving both networks a boatload of money. There was some pre-planning that I was involved with for the Duet aspect of things. I had come up with a plan of how to make it work…. And it did indeed work!

However, the 2nd Duet did not. So there was a lot of extra work done by my sweetheart Lyon boys on Friday &  Saturday. But as usual, they did it! Total rock stars!! God I love them!

Each evening, I would join the others for dinner and drinks. But for the most part I was a good girl. This was a long trip with early mornings. So I needed to behave!

On our walk each morning, I found new signs to take photos of….

As always, the games are super quick! A goal is scored and then in a blink of an eye, another goal is scored!

One morning, when looking out my hotel window, I saw that the room across the way had a bit of fun the night before.

Duke finally won their Championship! Sweet justice for those (now) seniors who had been on the team in 2006. Redemption of sorts.

This is a Championship event that I have grown to love. Our crew is just awesome! I love them all and wish we could spend more than just a weekend (or two) together each year.
