Yes

THE IRONY THAT THE DIRTIEST PLAY OF THE YEAR CAME FROM A JEN LEVY-COACHED UNC PLAYER PUTS A RIBBON ON THE DUMBEST RULE CHANGE (GREEN CARD) EVER INTRODUCED. "what's good for me but not for thee" THIS HAS TO BE REVIEWED IN THE OFF SEASON. KILLED THE RIDE. RUINED THE FLOW OF THE GAME. What p...

Big fan of field hockey or basketball for my young laxers. The late great iaamfan told me that field hockey and basketball were the best sports to prepare for lacrosse. Had never heard about gymnastics being good training for lacrosse. Interesting. From what little I know about the sport, it sounds...

Honestly probably a better list than most years. I'd make a few changes I'd have Pavelini 3rd team at a minimum, same with Collignon from yalem both over teammates who made 3rd team.. And you can't convince me that Laliberty isn't one of the top 9 goalies in the country. Also some of the womens list...

Devil's advocate here (pun kinda intended) Why are we giving Fairfield a free pass here? Agree Navy should be in, but.... Does anyone here think Fairfield would beat Duke on a neutral field? Fairfield has 2 pretty bad losses (HC and Niagra), much worse than Duke's worse loss (Clemson). In terms of ...

Navy (#22 RPI) 8-1; 15-4, lost in overtime in PL final Duke (#31 RPI) 4-5; 10-8; blown out in 1st round of ACC tournament And Navy has the head-to-head. Brutal selection, just shows how much the criteria are stacked toward the power conferences. Pretty much shows that SOS matters. Hopefully the pat...

To connect this discussion with this thread about coaching … I would be willing to bet that the majority of successful coaches also demonstrate a high level of respect for the players they are recruiting. The fact is, many of these are incredible young women. I would also bet that a decent number o...

Based on this you have to pick B, then C

In my admittedly limited experience some of the PL schools mentioned made some very questionable offers (certainly not all, as there are good players at all those schools). I didn’t see what they were seeing and I know I’m not the only person to have made that observation. What I can tell you about...

Regarding Patriot League teams, are most of them fully funded (I have no idea). I had heard AU only had 4 scholarships for womens lacrosse. Again, no clue if that is true or not, but what someone told me... Loyola is As a Patriot league parent, I can give some perspective. Well, Army and Navy don't...

Seeding talk Based on this weekend's results, I think #1 and #2 are pretty solid, well 3-8 may as well be a crap shoot. Here is my take of seedings as of now. (Keep in mind this is where I think seeding will end up, not what I necessarily believe they should be) 1. NW 2. BC 3. Cuse 4. Penn 5. ND 6....
