We went to see the Fightin' Blue Hen women's lacrosse team take on Virginia Tech in Blacksburg on a blustery Easter afternoon. It was a closely fought contest with the Hens holding on to win 8-7 after amassing a 4 goal lead early in the second half.
Two things impressed me about this game. First, the tough defense that was played by both sides. Open looks were quite rare and there was a lot of back and forth action after defensive stops.
Second was the great turnout by the Blue Hen fans. There weren't many people in the stands, but it seemed like more than half of them were cheering for the blue and gold. We didn't have to come far (VT is about 45 minutes from our house) but it is a good 7 hour drive from Newark to see the battle of the birds.
