[NU Sports] The Purple Dynasty

[DPENDERG at aol.com]

Maybe not the longest NCAA streak, but still pretty impressive for a  Midwest 
school where lacrosse was just a club sport a short time ago.  A  real 
tribute to Amonte Hiller (and let's hope NU never lets her get  away!).
 
As one of the Purple Faithful in Towson last night, it was a miniature  
tribal experience of the Rose Bowl with a field of Purple and the infectious  
enthusiasm of roughly 2-3,000 NU fans who helped the Cats  resist the second half 
surge by the plucky Quakers.  Interesting  that the NU crowd was at least 
several times larger than Pennsylvania  contingent, although their school was only 
just up the road in Philadelphia. An  impressive turnout from the Mid-Atlantic 
alumni.  Set your calendars.   The D-I lacrosse championship returns again to 
Towson next May when the  Cats will go for five.

Wow.  Impressive win and a four-peat now in what was
supposedly a down year for  the Cats. Congrats to the
players, coaches and everyone else  involved.

I'm trying to think of NCAA sports where a team has
won  four championships in a row and all I can come up
with is UCLA basketball.  Heck, I can't even come up
with many at the pro level.

Truly a  remarkable achievement by Coach Amonte Hiller
and the Wildcats!

GO  CATS!!!
