Favorite Teams and Players - and other diversions

I thought you all might like to see what it's like to watch a Boston College game at their home field. This was the game vs Notre Dame. Regular season admission is free. The confines are close and friendly, (except when NY teams and their fans visit [just kidding, just kidding]). I make a habit of getting there very early as you can see. I usually move for the 2nd half so I can see the Eagles attack from behind the net. For this kind of exciting sport with highly skilled athletes competing--there is no better ticket (or seat) in town.

Does anyone know of a website that has highlights of Sheehan Stanwick in her playing days with Georgetown?

Fall Ball is right around the corner. If the venues are conducive, I'm going to try to get an early look at the 2020 Eagles.

2020 season is only 6 months away now. Time marches on.

The Scarlet Knights of Rutgers fit in this topic. They had a season for the books in ‘21. Very enjoyable team to watch. They have some scrappy hard working players. I hope they continue on the upward climb in ‘22. They won’t sneak up on anyone, that’s for sure.

It will be interesting to see how the B1G teams do now that they can play out of conference again. The B1G was the most puzzling conference in 2021. Yeah, a few teams got in to the NCAA tournament and got to play non-B1G teams, but aside from NU going undefeated, they all just beat up on each other - next best record was 7-5!

I am sorry I never got to see the Knights in action...prolly to busy watching youth, middle school, high school, D2, D3, and Pro games

Internet tells me there is no such thing as a female knight. Should they be the Scarlet Dames? Just being sensitive here

For years I only knew Gabby from afar as Livy Rosenzweig’s sister as more Loyola games were streamed free than Penn games. So it was a revelation to watch the elder Gabby play for Duke this past season. I’m trying to think of other student athletes who played with such exuberance and skill. And I’m sure there were/are many. The Collins sisters of Navy come to mind. Duke’s Katie Cronin—not so much the same skill level but certainly the exuberance.



In any event, number 25 played like a coiled spring. Possessor of a wicked first step and so many skills, she was one dangerous attacker during her playing days. And my did she have fun!



Too bad they couldn’t just keep playing. (I know this is all fantasy but) If women’s lacrosse was like football where a blue chip player gets drafted and goes on to play for a pro team. If such was the case, it would be a long time before anyone ever bumped Gabby from any pro roster. She would be dazzling fans for years.

Might as well park this under favorite players as that's pretty much all this is for the Inside Lacrosse Magazine staff. All great players, mind, but it's difficult to be conclusive in some respects when ranking these gifted young women. Athletes from the men's side are included hence the gap between numbers. These are the names released so far. Still to come: 30-1

49. Sam Swart (M) - Syracuse
45. Molly Dougherty (G) - JMU
42. Ali Baiocco (A) - Stanford
41. Aurora Cordingley (A) - Maryland
39. Hollie Schleicher (D) - Boston College
37. Katie Detwiler (D) - Loyola (pictured)
36. Hannah Leubecker (A) - Maryland
34. Kasey Choma (M) - Notre Dame
33. Andie Aldave (A/M) - Carolina
31. Belle Smith (M) - Boston College

29. Marge Donovan (D) - Princeton

Next 20 players will be interesting . I feel like a lot of talented kids will miss the top 50 when total list comes out. Purely subjective but something Lax to talk about

Seems like this is a what-the-list-should-look-like list, or an it-would-be-nice-if-we-could-include-more-players-who-don’t-usually-get-the-spotlight list. This is a list with a mild agenda one could say. It has "interns" written all over it. With only 20 spots left, and that 20 divided with the boys, there should be glaring omissions worthy of egg on the IL staff’s collective face​.​

it will be interesting to see where or if Carney, EH, and Scane (?) end up on list.

Of the 25 Tewaaraton women’s nominees from 2021 who haven’t graduated or been tabbed for the list yet:

Megan Carney, Syracuse - Jr., Attack

Annie Dyson, Virginia - Jr., Midfield

Final list was released. No surprises with the girls that fell between 1-20. The one girl that was overlooked in my opinion was Carney - perhaps overlooked because of her injury last year.

If you listen to the IL podcast discussing top 50 it seems like the list was developed form the 3 editors of the magazine & inside women lacrosse

Can you shoot out the final list?

Strange that Carney didn't make the list at all (if that's what you're saying).
