I would blame the parents. How many parents from Long Island or MD want to drive ALL the way up to NH for a game. Truth be told, do parent need to be at every game?? Even visiting the college for a swing through is out of the way. How's the financial aid? Despite what everyone thinks about lacrosse families, financial aid can still be a huge factor in school selection.
Same drive time from LI to Dartmouth as it is to the Maryland Beltways, and you know it. The college colors are green, right? Maybe they should recruit better and NOT listen to certain clubs. Just saying. Kinda like Michigan, mostly, they are leaving the best beers in the fridge. Heck, willing to bet the U of New Hampshire club team could beat them.
Now that's over the line.
We're playing much improved ball, but can't seem to win FO's.
But I agree re drive time for an Island or Upstate kid, much less Conn or Mass.
Over the line? You evah seen UNH play? Seriously, have you?
Goalie wants to major in marine bio, any Div. I lacrosse playing colleges have that major? Ohio State? Dartmouth? Harvard? Maryland? exactly
UNH has a perfectly fine MCLA team, 7-4 in 2018. They have a hot team this year, though, so might go further. Not to be insulting in the least to them or their opponents, but this really isn't comparable. But it's great that kids are finding an opportunity to play a game they love.
I played against some very fine UNH teams back when they had a D1 varsity.
BTW, yes, you can major in Marine Biology at Dartmouth, internships in Woods Hole, etc.
I'd assume all the Ivies.
Have no idea about UMD or Ohio state.
Not seeing Marine Bio as a major at Dartmouth. Maybe not looking in the right spot? MDlax, are you sure you're not thinking of Umass-Dartmouth
And, thanks to fanno for the other schools. UNH has one of the top rated programs, which I should have been clearer about. Play decent club ball without the Div. I hassle of full time job that being on a team entails. Doubt there are any Marine bio majors on the Maryland, Rutgers or Duke rosters. Who wants to go to Duke? gang of 77 and camping out for hoops tickets. No thanks. It just snowed two feet, who's taking the less than 2 hour drive to several great ski mountains. Not at Duke. Or Maryland. Or even Rutgers. Camelback of Belle Mountain isn't good, at all.
You're correct not a
separate major, you can do it within Biology or within Environmental Sciences. Not sure which is the preferred path. My wife is from Woods Hole, her dad was a commercial fisherman, 'retirement job' was skippering the Marine Biological Laboratory's (MBL) specimen boat. Lots of Dartmouth Profs do summer work in Woods Hole. Dartmouth College kids too. MBL, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)...
As a kid my wife didn't want to be a marine biologist (everyone was marine biologist!). She was an Econ major but did an internship at National Marine Fisheries Service and wrote her honors thesis on fisheries regulation, pretty groundbreaking stuff in 1980, got published.
My sister-in-law's guy works on the deep sea ships, operating the equipment that explores way, way down, Titanic etc.
Yes, if you want to ski, Dartmouth, UNH, UVM, Middlebury...etc Heck, you can satisfy your athletic requirements learning to ski on Dartmouth's owned slopes nearby. Free bus.
