Surprising.........looks like Christmas might be back to playing well with 3 goals and 1 assist.

I had the chance to witness this one first hand. Cuse' blew a couple oppurtunities for easy goals in the third quarter and took a bad shot inside a minute to play that cost them possesion. This is the first year I can remember where Cuse's D is better than thier O. I think they will come around on O but it may take a few games. UVA played pretty well balanced with some really fast middies that could shoot. Christmas showed signs of returning to form, but overall was unimpressive, making some bonehead mistakes. Still, so much talent, its early, he could have a monsterous season. Hopefully I'll get to check out Hopkins when they play Cuse in 2 weeks.

Though Duke upset Maryland, Joe "Hat Trick" Walters still managed to have his 19th career hat trick in his team's loss to the Blue Devils.
