Either way, the ACC will be well represented in Baltimore next weekend, and is guaranteed to have at least one team in the finals….

Denver Tops Drexel in Quarterfinal Showcase

Photo Credit: Ian Neadle The difference maker in this matchup was in faceoffs and ground balls. Both teams came into this game having top-notch draw specialists, but one was clearly more prepared than the other. “I feel like faceoffs were called differently today than they have been all year and I don’t know why,” said Drexel Coach Brian Voelkner.  That quote has some validity to it as officials tend to…
