Mostly because Cal Lu’s magnificent heart shown on Friday gave way to a mindful and relentless pursuit by refusing to allow Vassar’s grit to get them on the board. Maybe the Kingsmen were inspired by a memory of Dominican earlier this year or Loras last week on this same court, when both times they sprinted to a two set lead, only to hang on by a deuce in the 5th, not wanting to revisit that hollow feeling again.
