Duke beat Notre Dame in the lacrosse championship Monday, setting up an ACC rivalry which should be enduring.
Duke was up 8-2 in the third before the Irish rallied, cutting the lead to just 10-9 with just :49 seconds left in the game.
But Duke's Jordan Wolf scored a goal with just under :30 seconds left to put it out of reach.
Duke thus wins two consecutive titles and becomes the dominant program nationally. It's a long way from the wreckage inflicted on the program a few years ago by the lacrosse mess.
Much of the credit goes to coach John Danowski, who is a superb coach obviously but is also, as we recall, a licensed counselor, which is a handy thing for a coach to be.
