Definitely a women's stick.
No bag and the shape of the top of the stick.
Know all about it, played catch with one recently.

I see what you're saying about the shape of the top, but everything else - sidewall and pocket to me is a men's stick. Maybe not a very good one, but definitely a men's stick. Just the way the ball is sitting looks like it would already be illegal in the women's game. Plus I'm sure it was intended to be a men's stick since the documentary was about the men's team

This was a question I asked a good while back (below in italics). I have found since then that the best place for head-to-head listings are the individual team websites. Typically teams will publish an exhaustive, up-to-date list of every game the program has ever played. These stats can usually be found in the Media Guides or Record Books. In case there are any other stats fanatics out there, here's an example from the Towson Tigers website: https://towsontigers.com/documents/2021 ... f?id=19530

Anyone know of a Div 1 head-to-head database/website?

I find head-to-head stats fascinating. It's interesting to see if there exists a current win/loss streak between teams. When the last time was that team A beat team B, etc.

Anyone know of a resource or database or website where these stats are kept?

As far as scheduling goes, do teams that win the national championship become a coveted opponent for other teams looking to fill next years schedule? Teams typically face a lot of familiar teams and schedule them every year. What happens when a team adds a new team--like BC adding Denver for the 2022 slate? Was that Denver's request or BC's?

That is not a good game for BC I hope no one gets hurt. Denver does not play a clean game…..

What's not clean about their game?
If they're not playing clean, they're playing dirty?

BC can play chippy as well so it might be a real scrappy affair. Looking forward to it. Can’t wait for BC’s schedule to drop.

They all play tough, it's highly competitive D1 lax played by well conditioned, talented athletes who are trying to win a game. It's always the other team who doesn't play clean lacrosse.

I disagree. Some teams are a lot more free with their sticks. Year after year I notice not only the Orange, but Northwestern and Florida to name a few who are rough with their sticks and such. Teams have personalities, some by design.

They all play tough and yes, some have different styles of play but that doesn't make 'em chippy or dirty.
They all play by the same rule book and with officials on the field.

Coach Acacia for BC said she likes “chippy” from her players. Her word. Nothing wrong with calling a trait a trait.

[DMac]

Define chippy.

[OuttaNowhereWregget]

Define chippy.

What she said...

“We’ve tried really hard to maintain the same attitude that we have had heading into every fall and embracing a really chippy, aggressive style,” says head coach Acacia Walker-Weinstein.

[DMac]

So tenacious could be used rather than chippy.
Got it.

Yes! Was speaking with a parent from team that played them in fall very dirty.

So you are saying all teams play the same and no teams play aggressive borderline dirty lacrosse ? Obv you never watched florida play ?

[OuttaNowhereWregget]

And by the same token, I never think of Carolina or Maryland et al. when I think of chippy or free swinging stick teams.

Guess that makes 'em dirty then.
Coach teaching them to play dirty?
Dirty to you, tough to another?
