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 ...

Curious to know when the portal officially opens/closes. Assume we'll start hearing about girls on the move soon... Look at me! I can google lol... Officially opens May 12 and closes June 10... http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/eligibility_center/Transfer/DIUG_Windows.pdf And that's only for non-grads. Grad ...

D is in the transfer portal and got an email from Verified Athletics asking her to fill out a survey with her information to act as a sort of transfer recruiting profile. Is this site legit? Does anyone have any experience with it? My daughter was in the portal and I don't have any recollection of ...

Not saying Izzy doesn’t deserve it, but I’m curious how you can be named Big 10 attacker of the year when you don’t even lead your team in points. Not saying she doesn't deserve it but how can Maddy Burns be Big Ten defender of the year when she wasn't Big Ten defender of the week a single time all...

I am pretty confident that the great majority of girls that play high level lacrosse can get into almost all the schools that play mid to high level lacrosse on their own. Lacrosse recruiting is more about what the coach is looking for/feeling … and some of these coaches are entirely unpredictable ...

New Polls out.

MD ranked 13th and seeded 4th. Cathy is on the committee so....

Duke not in top 25. 4 ranked teams(Navy, Colorado, Harvard, USC) left out of tournament in favor of Duke.

12pm #4 Maryland vs Robert Morris

Hmm. In the history of the NCAA tournament. Duke this year at 31 RPI and PSU last year at 32 are the lowest to ever make the tournament. I’ve been saying for a month. Don’t discredit that factor. The Ole Girl network saved Missy last year and tried to save Kimel this year. It was written. Well said...

Here is the bracket: https://www.ncaa.com/news/lacrosse-women/article/2024-05-05/2024-ncaa-di-womens-lacrosse-championship-bracket-schedule-scores A lot of good games. Awful day for Cuse to be playing. Graduation day, begins at 0930 hrs, ends at about 1230 hrs, game time at 1400 hrs, lot of seniors...

As I have written, I disagree and thought Duke should have been included. Attributing “save missy” or “save Kirsten” to the motivation of the committee seems a bit petulant to me… I'm not happy to be right here. But come on. Duke has no right to be in the tournament this year. Clemson beat them 20-...

Final projection https://www.usalacrosse.com/magazine/college/women/ncaa-bracketology-final-division-i-womens-bracket-projection Two weeks in a row they have stated UNC will travel to Northwestern. I just dont see that happening? Can’t see Yale seeded ahead of Syracuse. Their resumes aren’t even cl...

Does Navy taking Loyola to OT yesterday push them over the edge?? *Edited to add I didn't realize their best win was against #30... hmmm If it came down to navy versus duke, for a spot in the dance, I’d rather see navy. Don't forget the Save Kimel's Job factor in all this. Navy definitely deserves ...

Am I making this up, but didn't they make "flopping" a point of emphasis for the officials this year? If so, pretty sure I did not see it called once. Flopping and the constant grabbing of the head (when stick is below shoulder level for goodness sake...) drives me nuts too. Of course may...

Penn and Princeton tied up 3-3 at the end of the first And 10-10 in the 3rd. This is a really good game. Check that: 11-10 Penn I feel like that was an extremely harsh red card call? Yellow definitely. These calls have been a little heavy in Penn’s favor this game. didn't see the red card, but the ...

Lehigh with a good showing today. 😳 Hasn't been much excitement with that program since Dickey left. 18-0 is a joke. That’s a rec league score I dont like the optics, but not sure if it was piling on or F.U. goals situation. I am sure someone will comment. Well, it was 14-0 at end of third. The 4 g...

I'll say again. Maybe don't put 60 kids on a bus for 7 hours the day before the Big Ten semis......Unacceptable. What other top 10 D1 program would do that? I thought they learned that lesson years ago. Maybe the well heeled alums could open their wallets for a flight or two. The women flew to Nort...

To say they are beatable is fairly obvious and not sure it takes perfect game plan and execution - granted both have to be very good. Lost to ND, lost to Penn State, and nailbiters that could have gone either way vs Michigan and Hopkins. Penn State and Hopkins are not top 10 teams. Something may be...
