Thanks for posting this. Nice to see Wakefield and Defliese get this recognition, as I thought both of them played exceedingly well over the days of the tournament. I'm a little surprised Emma Tyrrell didn't make this team; maybe only allowed two Emmas per team.

I was going to say DiFliese was my D star....Wakefield not far behind.

I know this is ACC, but it got me thinking about Lizzie Colson. Where do you think she belongs in this group?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

Gait or AWW would have had to win the Championship for either one of them to win COY

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.
