Yep! Very glad to see her on this list, she had an outstanding tournament & defense doesn’t always get the love they deserveDr. Tact wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 5:14 pmI was going to say DiFliese was my D star....Wakefield not far behind.seacoaster wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 10:33 amThanks for posting this.

Re: ACC Tourney
Having not watched many of her games, I would say she is third in that list. I have been watching Wakefield since 10th grade....she is physical with one of the best checks in the game. Difliese got my attention this week. They are very close.
Re: ACC Tourney
I feel better now. I scanned that list two or three times and missed Ward's name. Thought, man, that girl really got shafted she should be on there. Glad to see the committee agrees with me.
DiFliese is just terrific, you get the same from her in every game, a quiet very solid performance. Pretty nice little clearing machine too.

Re: ACC Tourney
Colson exceeds both on the circle. She is a force there. Both Wakefield and Defliece have better teammates playing alongside them. Tough to make these sorts of comparisons. MHO.

Re: ACC Tourney
How do you determine Colson is better on the circle? According to your narrative she’s been playing marginal teams all season and a good not great Wildcats team. Meanwhile Wakefield and Defliese have been playing the best of the best in the ACC.seacoaster wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 8:12 pm Colson exceeds both on the circle. She is a force there.

Re: ACC Tourney
Wakefield and Defliese in my book, are the better two than Colson. Colson an excellent player, but not even close to the level of Alice Mercer and Iliana Sanza before her.Cletus wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 9:53 pmHow do you determine Colson is better on the circle?

Re: ACC Tourney
Well, first, what the heck do I know anyway. Second, my "narrative" in this instance includes Colson's prior years playing good/better competition than I think she played this year. Her play on the draw circle is excellent, relentless. I agree with Joe that she is not the defender Mercer was, but then, very few people were or are.Cletus wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 9:53 pmHow do you determine Colson is better on the circle?

Re: ACC Tourney
The player honors make complete sense. The COY, not so much. Gary loses two Tewaarton candidates to calamitous injury, including perhaps the best offensive player in the college game today, finishes (before the NCAA tournament) 14-3, but Levy gets the coach of the year award. AWW had a better case for COY, given what I think most people expected from BC and the subsequent trajectory of enormous improvement on the backs of a lot of freshmen and sophomores. It's not "Best Record of the Year Award."

Re: ACC Tourney
Not yet; too early in the day. But yeah, I do think Hawryschuk was the best individual offensive player in college lacrosse this year. And that is no slight to Ortega or Scane or Hoeg or North or anyone else. They are great players. We are in opinionland here.Cletus wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 10:13 amYou been dipping into DMac’s gummy bears, sea?seacoaster wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 9:55 am Gary loses two Tewaarton candidates to calamitous injury, including perhaps the best offensive player in the college game today

Re: ACC Tourney
The awards sector of women’s lacrosse is too safe and polite. I would also say the same thing for coach of the year in the Big Ten. I think coach Lehman deserved the award for what she did with Rutgers this year. The powers that be seem too timid to rock the boat or offend people or whatever. The commentary on the whole from women’s lacrosse is too safe and polite. Mutual admiration societies get awfully boring awfully quick.seacoaster wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 9:55 am The player honors make complete sense. The COY, not so much.

Re: ACC Tourney
Completely agree with sc. Levy has an absolutely loaded team (including GK and #1 ranked freshman) that she'd have to completely phukk up in order to not win with while Gary has had to patch his team up from devastating loss after loss and with an unknown freshman to help carry the load. BS call.
