LaxPower Back-Up Stick

EW is a unique talent - great stick and vision. She has a flashy game but clearly has some less than great aspects to her game. IMO not the best all round attacker on her team. Tyrell more valuable due to circle work and all round play. ND has a great all-round attacker in Wolak. She may be the bes...

Hard to imagine another situation where a team lost twice but was then ranked higher than the team that beat them unless they had significant transfers to bolster the roster for the coming year, and I think Penn was the only Ivy to pursue transfers for the coming season? Michigan beat PSU twice las...

5. Syracuse

8. Notre Dame
9. Loyola
10. Stony Brook
(First team outside the top 10 - Penn)

If the overriding decisions in women's lacrosse are mostly based on academic prestige, then Duke and the Ivies would be regulars winning lacrosse games over Memorial Day weekend. I would not be surprised if Duke is second to last in ACC this year, even though it has it's pick of top players every y...

SCANE. Best player last year as 5th year. Coming back for a 6th year, another year older than majority of competition, sets records for oldest winner of award. I don't find years meaningful. How many actual games did she play? 2019 - Played 20 games 2020 - Played 7 games 2021 - Played 16 games 2022...

I may be wrong but as a D3 player is the Northwestern goalie now using her second Covid year? Yet she is now playing D1 where other D1 players from her class only received one year and are done .. and current 2020 seniors (like Wurzburger) received no extra year. If true how is that fair? 2020 play...

Northwestern, Denver, Michigan. Very respectable OOC.

Penn state is solid as well. Marquette, Louisville, and St Joes are also decent teams

BC might have the most complete attack in a recent history of the sport. I’m not saying they have the best attack ever and are going to be the best set this year (which they might be), but when you picture the ideal attacking skill set they have it all. They have two pure low attackers with LoPinto ...

This is the last year for Covid 5th years in D1 (as someone said, D3 has another year to use so 2020s have the ability to get a 5th...). Thank you. Just so I'm clear--all the seniors on Boston College (and every other D1 team) who haven't missed time injured or transferred from D2 or D3, are playin...

I hope they’re tournament eligible, but I think they’re record will be close to or just above .500

Towson is arguably in a worse area than Loyola. Towson has very nice houses, but the area immediately surrounding the campus isn’t as nice. There are nice shops but when it’s dark you have to be careful. The area around Loyola is less busy because there’s less shops but if you head east of the campu...

I was hoping Lehigh and BU would take a step forward in he Patriot. BU and Lehigh have strong men’s programs, not sure why the women seem to lag behind. yeah...that is a head scratcher Lehigh has potential as they’ve had good seasons and beaten good teams, but they have been so inconsistent. They d...

Lehigh has potential as they’ve had good seasons and beaten good teams, but they have been so inconsistent.

Love reading the predictions about the upcoming season. Don't need to make crazy picks just for click bait, like Loyola not winning the Patriot League. Loyola has a top 4 coaching staff that recruits great fits for their system. Did you watch any of their games against the Patriot League teams, it'...

White may be a better one v one defender, but Thacker was Defensive POY. Thacker did her absolute best in the role she was assigned and IMO did better at her role than White did. Both are phenomenal players but Thacker is the best at her position. My top 10 with the same 10 as IL would be White is ...
