It's extremely hard for players to stay as relevant after their college careers are done. Even if they are still involved in the game through brand sponsorships, the national team, coaching, professional leagues - the top players in the college game are the ones in the spotlight because the college...

Thought Ella Simkins got shorted being named third team AA last year, am more so convinced of that watching her today. Very steady player, solid. Team Ohmiller was the best of the day, looked like a team that had played together longer than they have, might have looked to be in the best shape too. ...

Someone posted links to a couple of Syracuse post game interviews. Haven’t seen any of the BC interviews, which I assume included North. I would hope one of the reporters would’ve asked her if she is returning. The reporter who interviewed the BC coach on TV after the game failed to do so. North an...

Girls High School All American Game. Syracuse's own Megan Carney is coaching one of the teams.

AWW and staff are I’m sure already working to figure out how to maximize the talent they have, plus working in the Freshman who have loads of potential, but got sparse playing time due to the players u mentioned ahead of them Then u have the high end recruits coming in. They have the right chemistr...

I leave room for the possibility that I am misreading or misinterpreting the last two posts, in addition to the new rule changes – but does it say explicitly that we are to have a running clock now except in the case of a 10 goal lead? I don’t see where the new rules state that the clock continues t...

I'm amazed this is free to watch. I've seen it before and it is outstanding.

How does anyone feel about organic food? Does it make a difference? Very interested in what you folks here think.

Yup, I've watched as much pro wlax as I've been able to find on TV/streamed since it first came around and I've liked it all. Funny thing is, with the banging around and THAT being allowed, I believe that's the way most young girls want to play the game The Schneidereith sisters bear you out on tha...

"How do you do this thing where you manage to get all girls to hate us?"

"There’s a very unusual amount of traffic to the switch at Kirkland."

"You’re saying it’s unusual for 4 in the morning?"

"No, this would be unusual for halftime at the Super Bowl."

Members of the rules committee think fewer stoppages during games can be achieved through these modifications: The game clock will continue running, while the possession clock would stop or reset, during the following: Fouls committed below goal line extended. Fouls committed above goal line extende...

who knows what constitutes a foul in the new league? They let a brutal dangerous follow through occur earlier in the game, as well. Okay, let's not get crazy with the language and description. 'Brutal Dangerous' are not two words I would string together...unless I was talking about a Trump Speech a...

Great line at the end of this scene from The Social Network.

"Here, have a cigar. That's a good quarter cigar. I smoked the other three quarters myself."

Honest question. Is this considered warding? https://twitter.com/marylandwlax/status/1418729745584427013?s=21 Absolutely!! Should have been called. In the NCAA, without a doubt--but who knows what constitutes a foul in the new league? They let a brutal dangerous follow through occur earlier in the ...

A few folks weighed in on the new rules on another social media platform. I thought their comments were interesting: “I hope that there are not a lot of clock issues with the stoppage/resetting of the possession clock and not the game clock. I do not like the elimination of pregame stick checks at a...

I’m serious when I say this… the gentleman announcer said dangerous follow through is a red card… not sure if he meant yellow or if he genuinely means a player will be ejected for dangerous follow through :lol: Yeah--Joe Beninati. He must have zoned out and got mixed up. Not as much lately but he h...

Honest question. Is this considered warding? https://twitter.com/marylandwlax/status/1418729745584427013?s=21 That's a picture perfect example of warding. From the NCAA 2020 and 2021 Women’s Lacrosse Rules Book p. 52 RULE 6 Fouls and Penalty Administration Fouls SECTION 1. t. Warding Off: Guarding ...

I imagine there will be many with a lot of criticisms...league can't make it, 10v10 makes it too much like the men's game, shorter field....etc. For myself, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Fast moving game, very few whistles, very good D, very good stickwork, passing, shooting. Don't care about re-choosin...
