Weekend Encore

This weekend was exhilarating. To kick off the weekend, day two of the Masters was in full swing. In other news, the Red Sox got their first win of the season over the hated Yankees in Fenway. Saturday was just as good as Friday. Tiger got right back in the Green Jacket hunt. In the NCAA College Hockey Championship, Minnesota Duluth got their first title victory over Michigan. Duluth had been to the Frozen Four many times but could not seal the deal. Sticking with hockey, the Rangers clinched the #8 seed in the East. Also on Saturday was a lot of college lacrosse. Syracuse escaped with a 7-5 victory over Princeton. Virginia held on in OT over UNC with an 11-10 win. Harvard could not pull off the upset at home versus Cornell with a heartbreaking 13-12 defeat. Sunday was filled with excitement. The Blackhawks lost to the Red Wings. If the Stars won, they would be the #8 seed. The Stars failed to do that though, as they lost to the Wild 5-3. Then the Blackhawks and the city of Chicago could breathe. To finish the Masters, Charl Schwartzel had a late surge to lead him to victory and the Green Jacket. To wrap up the weekend, the Sox blanked the Yanks 4-0 at Fenway.
