Twenty years from now, some kid--maybe my own--will ask me, "What were sports in the 80s like? What great things happened?"
"The 80s were when Brad Park beat Buffalo in overtime. When the lights went out at the Boston Garden. When Terry O'Reilly hit the ref. Jim Schoenfeld, too. When the recreational refs in yellow jerseys officiated the Conference Finals. When the Bruins went over the boards in New York...
"The eighties were when Philly won, and Boston told them to 'Beat L.A.' It was when the Doctor got his Ring. And when Dave Zinkoff last made that call, 'Juuuuuu-lius Errrrrrving!"
Nevertheless, the Blue Devils were awarded two technical foul shots plus possession of the ball--enough to clinch the six-point win.
Despite sloppy play in the first half and a frustrating finish, there were bright spots for the Crimson. Junior guard Beth Wambach played an outstanding second half, finishing with 27 points on 5-for-7 shooting from three-point range.
