When it rains, it pours.
That was clear yesterday in Baltimore when a weather delay threw an hour-and-a-half-long wrench into No. 4 Northwestern’s Final Four matchup versus No. 1 UNC. It was clear when the ‘Cats poured on six unanswered goals in the first quarter.
It was even more clear when the Tar Heels hammered away an eight-goal deficit with a run of its own, dealing the Lakeshow its toughest loss in recent memory on the sport's biggest stage.
There’s no point in rehashing what happened in that final quarter. Those watching felt the heartbreak emanating from Northwestern’s sideline when the final whistle blew, whether they experienced it in person or through a screen.
