[NU Sports] Lacross Semi-Finals

[Roger Beckwith]

Both games will be on WNUR which you can pick up over the internet.
Sunday's final is on CSTV which is on DirecTV, channel 610 and some cable
systems.  It is not on Comcast in Chicago or on Dish Network.

A few other lacrosse pointers for those new to it.  Checking/hitting from
behind is a foul, as is anything around the head and you cannot reach over a
players head to check the ball carriers stick.  Cross-checking that is about
as hard as a firm push is allowed but not much more.  Charging and blocking
can both be called.  An offensive player cannot enter the cylinder of the
goal circle, i.e., your stick cannot enter the circle on the follow through
(Princeton lost a goal that way on Sunday), a tighter restriction than in
the men's game where you just can't step into the circle before a shot.
When the ball goes out-of-bounds, the closest player to the ball when it
goes out retains possession (different from the men's game where that only
occurs on a shot).  The stick has virtually no pocket in the women's game
making it much more difficult to carry, pass, throw or shoot the ball; the
men's stick has a considerable pocket helping them to maintain possession in
a hard check.  It also allows much more powerful shots from further out and
with more accuracy.

So with all this excitement about the NU Women's chances, is there anyway
to 
catch the games on TV or the Internet?
