First, I wanted to send a congratulations to Duke senior Zach Greer. Â Last weekend, he broke a 28 record to become that all-time leading goal scorer in the NCAA. Â The previous record was 193 goals by NC State’s Stan Cockerton (yup, the Wolfpack used to have varsity lacrosse; I wish they would get it back!). Â If you’re a Duke hater and say that the only reason he broke the reason was because he had a fifth year, then you don’t have your facts straight. Â He is actually only in his fourth year, and when you consider that he broke this record after missing many of the 2006 games because of the scandal, his record breaking performance is even more impressive.Â
Sadly, I did not know which goal exactly would be his record-breaker. Â So, when he scored it, I was on the other side of the field and completly missed getting a photo of the moment. Â I was with Duke University photographer Jon Gardiner, and we both let out a collective sigh when we realized what we had missed. Â (actually I muttered a few four-letter words). Â But anyways, congrats to Zach for a remarkable career.Â
I have the photos up from the Duke lacrosse vs. St. Johns game. Â Here is the link:
