Northwestern lacrosse triumphs through rain, controversy in 10-9 OT win over Johns Hopkins

Northwestern lacrosse came up with a huge overtime win over Johns Hopkins on Thursday night. But there was controversy!

Let’s roll the critical tape first.

To clarify, after a back-and-forth game, Northwestern needed a goal to tie the game and force overtime. Sheila Nesselbush was fouled by JHU’s Haley Schweizer at around the 0.9-1.2 second mark, and the refs stopped the game.

There is, without doubt, 1.1 seconds on the clock here when the ref blows his whistle. In a basketball game, a replay official would award NU that much time.
