Without a doubt UNC was out coached. I also think BC played with heart and belief - 2 very positive factors that comes with having 7 starters from Long Island. When you beat a team by 12 earlier in the year and when you look at each teams starting lineup and can say that every matchup except CN favo...

In my opinion one coach that seems to get a free pass from criticism is Jenny Levy. 2 NC's in 27 years (not sure how many finals appearances) and no Tewaaraton winners when your team year in and year out has the best athletes and best recruits - for example last year's team had 3 #1 middies - Hillma...

What are the odds of the same four teams making the final four again. In my opinion very high at maybe 70 percent. Just seems like a big jump for the next group of teams - Fla, SB, Duke, ND, Princeton, Stanford etc.

Correct - could be great addition for BC. Believe she was invited to USA tryout and was honorable mention AA. Might fit well with young core defense at BC.

Hear BC is getting a 5th year transfer from Temple. Believe it is a defender.

Few thoughts ... Spallina is one of the Top 3 coaches in the country. He would take Florida to the Elite 8 every year and final four several years. One of the worst coached games I ever saw was in Florida's second year or so when they made it to the final four at Stony Brook. Up by something like 4 ...

Cara has one more year of eligibility. She had a medical redshirt her freshman year and had the free Covid year. She is able to come back but informed her teammates that she will not do so. Good for her. She gave so much to the BC team as a player and leader. Not many players play as hard as she doe...

Stanford will be an intriguing team moving forward. Had a strong recruiting class in 2020 and 2 of the strongest 2020 players opted out due to Covid. The 2021 class is one of the better ones and the team is well coaches. Hope they schedule some good out of conference games..

Ask club directors and college coaches how they rank the 2021 class vs prior classes. They know better than anyone. I'm quite familiar with the one of the largest high school lacrosse markets and I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that 2021 is one of the weaker classes to come along in a whil...

This is the general consensus. It does not mean that everyone will agree. For a few years most people I know at the club and college level felt the 2021 class has less elite talent and is not as deep as other classes. That does not mean that there will not be some and there are always hidden gems. T...

2021 class countrywide is not considered to be that strong so I was curious to see how much big time talent was on the field. To be very honest, very few kids stood out and the south team overall was not very strong and did not display much lax IQ. Few low attackers on the North team played well and...

2021 class as a whole country-wide is not considered to be very strong so having the #1 class in that group may not equate to much on the field. It's amazing how some classes overall are strong and others are somewhat weak. For example the 2016 class was exceptionally strong, 2020 class is said to b...

Such an exciting player to watch on both ends of the field. Rare to see a true two way middy who has great offensive skills. Will be fun to watch her develop as a player. She got better and better as the year went on.

North, Ortega and Scane were very deserving. There is always a defender and if not Colson it would have been Trenchard. Really think there should be a goalie of the year award - keep them out of the Tewaaraton discussion. Last year was first time in history there was not a middie in the final group....

CN will soon be the face if she is not already. Natty Champ, Tewaaraton, All Time Goals Record and has about 4x more instagram followers than other great players (+10k more than KO).

Few critical thngs ... the BC team is all about chemistry and unselfish play so that will always be a key factor. Urbank is not coming back so that opens up an attacker spot. The younger Hasselback will play attack in college so she will complete with Kayla Martello and few other young players for p...

Apuzzo will do great. She is so familiar with the team and all of the opposing ACC teams she will face. She will go from leading the draw team to leading the offense. She is brilliant offensively and the team loves and respects her. How many offensive players can you name that dominated the game wit...

How many people know that Hollie is cousins with Belle Smith. More like sisters and absolute best friends who grew up playing together since about 10 years old. They wanted to play in college together and win a National Championship. They did that as big contributors - both First Team ACC and All Am...

How quickly will companies go after the young, next generation of stars - Wurzburger, Smith, Ward etc. Why not lock them up early.

Cuse picked up very good back-up UNC goalie via transfer so they will be in good hands for 2 years.
