Lots of these girls….
…Have celebrated 3 Senior Days. Hope we get back to 4 years and done normalcy.
Re: Lots of these girls….
Just look at all the grad students on the IWLCA AA list...
Re: Lots of these girls….
We'll be back to normal 5th year redshirts after this year. No more covid eligibility...
Re: Lots of these girls….
It’s too bad that so many career records (NCAA and individual schools) will be held by girls that played 6 years
Re: Lots of these girls….
They should still have an asterisk then. Unfair comparison for future players.
Re: Lots of these girls….
I assume you are talking about Izzy. She played four full seasons plus 7 games in 2020.
I certainly agree that in retrospect, granting the extra Covid year was a mistake, but that is water under the bridge at this point. And after this year, we are basically done with the Covid players, except for a few stragglers (injuries plus D3 to D1 (not many of those)).
Re: Lots of these girls….
Look at Scane’s number of games played. Totally in line with a 4 year player on a team that makes deep conference and NCAA runs. You can make an argument for 2 more years to understand the game but I also think a lot of you underestimate the physical toll of being an elite D1 attacker. It’s pretty brutal on you body vs. a fresh 18 year old with out 5 more years of pounding.

Re: Lots of these girls….
This topic was discussed a season or so ago. The idea that the extra COVID year is giving players an advantage in record-breaking is a fantasy. If you look at the total number of games played, they are well within the normal range for other athletes in the record books that had standard 4-year careers. Scane will play in 84 career games. Megan Whittle played in 90, TC played in 92, and Kayla Treanor played in 94. Additionally, the past several years we have seen players who have now played their entire careers in the shot-clock era. More possessions, draws, and changes of possessions = more stats all around.

The cat is out of the bag. Move on. No asterisks will be given. I’m so glad that starting next year we won’t have to hear from club coaches and parents who didn’t like the Covid year decision.ultravisitor wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2024 1:03 pmRight. Everyone needs to be aware that Izzy Scane really wasn’t that good.

I hope you realize that I was joking. Izzy Scane really is that good.Womenslaxxfan wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2024 1:08 pmThe cat is out of the bag. Move on. No asterisks will be given.

I don't even see the point about complaining about the COVID year. If someone is mad that their daughter isn't playing enough because of the older team members, I mean...their daughter still might not be playing much even if the COVID year wasn't given.
