..and into Aldave's draw responsbility. Halfpenny had put frosh Kelly Denes there initially, but after Vandy scored those three girs in the 2nd half, she put Choma in there and -- along with Buchanan and Roe -- that got the draws back to the Irish's favor and away they went.

Interestingly, playing both ways engaged Choma, too, who then scored 4 of her goals in the 2nd half. She's a great finisher, but has a lot of Aldave's all-round skills.

Agree wiht you on Ahearn: Some fine assists, including a few seeing-eye balls to Choma, who also got two feeds from Sam Lynch. Lynch and Massinko take advantage of the concentration on Ahearn, Howe and Choma. Most teams don't have anough defenders talented enough to keep up with all of them.

Speaking of defense: we all know how good Roe is; but Donnelly and Kelly were nasty yesterday. In a good way.

Next 2 matches cancelled, but they were great against Vandy

when I watched the ACCN replay. Their next scheduled match is against the Ducks on Feb 26 in SOuth Bend, also on ACCN. Last time they beat the Ducks in a women's sport (bball) it was on the way to a National Championship. Hope it happens again, both things.

They did play Oregon in softball last season and the Ducks won.
