Families can attend. There’s a whole side of family on other other side of the field. You just have to be on the list that BC has.

I can’t see the surface being a deal killer. A coach can be, even other kids, distance from home, money, but not the surface and especially from a perennial top 10 program with rich history. People just love to hate on Maryland.Max Roguespierre wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2024 6:46 pmYeah, I am with Spidey here. I just can't see a substantial number of recruits getting so upset over how the field is painted that they bypass the opportunity to attend a top program with Maryland's history of success. Sure, 5 star recruits do have options but we are also talking about a niche sport with only a handful of truly elite programs. It's not like Northwestern, Boston College, or Syracuse don't play on artificial turf.LaxDadMax wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2024 9:37 amClearly, I’m guessing with percentages but 2 girls from
My 25’s club team (both top 50 players) didn’t visit MD for this reason and committed to another top 20 school.
Could that be related to the Hero's / Maryvale connection?crimlawyer27 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2024 3:14 pm So far, 2026 recruiting, besides CR’s daughter, seems to be well below UNC, BC, UVA, FL, etc… MD kids are going out of state.

I agree with this.
Maryland’s field hockey turf has long been considered to give the team a home field advantage. Lots of reasons that Maryland’s recruiting has dipped of late, but I doubt their field has anything to do with it.

At their peak, UMD had over 16 girls from IAAM schools.Laxfh2414 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2024 9:43 amMcDonogh pipeline not dried up yet......and the 2022 and 2023 MD recruiting classes have several M&D kidscrimlawyer27 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2024 3:14 pm So far, 2026 recruiting, besides CR’s daughter, seems to be well below UNC, BC, UVA, FL, etc… MD kids are going out of state.

Last two years (2025 & 2026) M&D has had the highest or 2nd highest rated goalie and neither stayed home. Not sure that would happen 5 years ago.intheknow247 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2024 9:38 amVery slow drip...same with M&D pipeline.Laxfh2414 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2024 9:43 amMcDonogh pipeline not dried up yet......and the 2022 and 2023 MD recruiting classes have several M&D kidscrimlawyer27 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2024 3:14 pm So far, 2026 recruiting, besides CR’s daughter, seems to be well below UNC, BC, UVA, FL, etc… MD kids are going out of state.

Maryland has only had 2 goalies since 2016 - Meg Taylor & Emily Sterling. JJ Suriano looks like she could lock up that spot for the next 4 years now. Lack of available playing time probably has more to do with it than anything.MDstateMan wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2024 1:20 pmLast two years (2025 & 2026) M&D has had the highest or 2nd highest rated goalie and neither stayed home.
