Where good news shines
The University of Denver Pioneers women’s lacrosse team is unstoppable and, so far, unbeatable.
No. 5 DU beat No. 4 North Carolina 5-4 Thursday at Dorrance Field in Chapel Hill, N.C., to advance to the first Final Four in program history. The Pios will face the winner of No. 1 Northwestern and No. 8 Loyola in a national semifinal at Cary, N.C., on Friday, May 26.
DU coach Liza Kelly also won her 300th career game. The Pios are 22-0 with their last three wins by three goals, two goals and one goal.
DU beat UNC after trailing 4-1. Kayla DeRose, a graduate student, and Julia Gilbert, a senior accounted for the four straight goals. Pios goalkeeper Emelia Bohl stopped five shots.
