Today's NCAA women's game Division I final No. 1 Princeton (19-0) vs. No. 2 Virginia (18-3) Site: Princeton (N.J.) Stadium Time: 2 p.m. Outlook: The nation's best offense meets the nation's best defense. Virginia leads the country in scoring offense, averaging 13.89 goals a game. Princeton allows only 6.11 - more than a goal fewer than the next-best team. The tale was similar a year ago when defense won the struggle as Princeton prevailed, 8-7, in overtime. The Tigers have been a second-half team through the tournament, rallying from 5-3 down with seven minutes left to beat Dartmouth, 6-5, in overtime in the quarterfinals and breaking away from a 2-1 lead over Vanderbilt in an 11-3 semifinal win. The Tigers could be in trouble if they fall behind early today: The Cavaliers have not lost a game they've led at halftime this season.

From: Sandy FeindtJarrettsvilleTo: Katherine DunnI just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading the supplement, Seniors in Stride, in The Harford County Sun July 7. I read it from cover to cover and, quite frankly, got tired just thinking about these people and their commitment to stayingin shape.As I am approaching my 40th birthday this month, I mustadmit that I'm not in good physical shape, mainly because I've become lazy in some of my habits. I would certainly like to enjoy a long and productive life, and these people seem to have the right formula for that.
