BURLINGTON, WA – The semifinal rounds of the D-III College Championships were a movie, as the kids would say. Over four and a half hours, four games took place on our two showcase fields, cutting the title field was cut from four to two in each division. Viewers at home were able to enjoy the matchups (and three of them were incredible games from start to finish), but those not in Burlington weren’t able to appreciate the scene as it played out. While this article can’t fully explain the aura of Fields 11 and 12, we’ll take you through some of our favorite moments that illustrated why so many love the People’s Division.
